Apple is working on a new feature that could let users control their devices using just their thoughts. This mind-control technology is being developed by Apple’s Vision Products Group, the same team behind the Vision Pro headset.
This futuristic idea uses brain-computer interface (BCI) systems, which allow devices to read signals directly from the brain. Apple is partnering with a company called Synchron, which creates tools that can translate brain signals into actions on a screen. One of their products can be implanted into the body using a less risky method than traditional brain surgery.
Apple has reportedly been working on this idea since 2017 and sees it as a long-term goal. Instead of using keyboards, touchscreens, or even hand gestures, the idea is to let users do things like type or move a cursor using only their thoughts.
Although the technology is still in early stages, it could be life-changing for people with severe physical disabilities. The company is focused on making this safe, private, and easy to use. Apple’s interest in accessibility and advanced tech makes this a serious area of development.
While we may not see this feature in Apple products right away, it shows the direction the company is heading—toward more natural and seamless ways to interact with technology.
