5 Apple Products that are Expected to Launch in the Future
In this blog, we have curated a list of 5 Apple products that are expected to launch sometime in the future.
Since the past few years, Apple has emerged as a leading tech and product manufacturing giant who has stood out with its sheer innovation and quality of products. With its inventions and meticulous attention to detail, Apple has become a trend-setter. Computers became sleek and user-friendly with Macintosh. Similarly, Apple taught people how to listen to music properly through the iPod and iTunes. Similarly, the iPhone provided users with everything they had never imagined they needed.
Apple and Innovation
Apple showers its customers with gifts: fantastic software packaged in gorgeous hardware ("very good ideas wrapped up in other extremely good ideas," as Michael Lopp, senior engineering manager at Apple, puts it). Apple is also a forerunner in new company sectors and market segments. The iPod, iTunes, iPhone, and iPad are just a some of the company's game-changing advancements.
Apple's innovation executives think in terms of platforms and pipelines, and they are persistent in their pursuit of new ideas. Competitors who chase Apple's current release fall behind when Apple presents its latest and greatest product a few months later.
Concentrating on areas where they can make a major difference, Apple seeks out brilliant innovators who strive to create the finest products possible.
Steve Jobs once said, “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” He has rightly said the above line. Staying loyal to his ideology, Apple manages to think ahead and works on products ahead of time. These are a few products that have been in the pipeline for a couple of years now and are expected to launch in the coming years.
List of Apple Products expected to launch in the future
1. Larger iMac
After the release of the 24-inch iMac, rumors say that Apple is now working on a Larger iMac expected to have a display size ranging between 27 to 32 inches with a mini LED display. The screen is expected to have slimmer bezels and may support XDR and Promotion.
Other than the increase in display size, the new iMac is expected to get a top-end M1 chip such as the M1 Pro or M1 Max or any chip from the upcoming M2 series. But rumors suggest that we won’t see it until 2023!
2. AR/VR headset
Bloomberg first reported in 2017 that Apple plans to launch its AR headset in 2020 sometime. The same year, Financial Times suggested that Apple plans on launching its AR Glasses with 3D cameras. Apple confirmed in 2019 that it is working on ‘some’ kind of Augmented Reality device, adding fire to the rumors.
Kuo believes that AR glasses will be heavily dependent on iPhones, just like the first generation of Apple Watches. Apple is probably working on reducing the weight of the glasses because they need not weigh heavier than standard glasses but have to manage the hardware with the same weight.
In the previous years, Apple has filed many patents claiming new technologies to provide 3D virtual views of a user’s environment with virtual content. While I am relying on Augmented Reality Glasses’ generic idea as their upcoming device, but considering Apple’s innovation heights, it can be a new device as a whole.
3. Affordable iPad
Many rumors are circulating that Apple is working on an affordable version of the iPad to expand the market share, which they have already been dominating. These rumors are only on the cloud, and we may not hear anything regarding this from Apple, at least for this year.
4. Apple Car
Apple had announced autonomous cars in 2015. Since then, we have heard a lot of rumors regarding the same. These autonomous cars are expected to be electric cars operating on battery sources, might even go solar in their energy consumption.
Apple will likely to have a tie-up with Hyundai to produce these cars by 2024 and get them in the market by 2030. However, Apple did seek permission to test 200 cars in 2017 in California under the name Project Titan.
Apple Cars look promising and support Apple’s vision of going Carbon Neutral by 2030. I admire one rumor in particular, which is the use of Apple ID as car keys. The car also claims to feature the infamous LiDAR scanners.
5. Foldable iPhones
Apple has been planning to launch foldable iPhones in the coming two years, which will be two screens connected with a hinge. Despite the hinge, the iPhone looks flawless and doesn’t seem to look like two screens connected.
A Taiwanese website, Economic Daily News, has also claimed that two of these models passed durability tests earlier, completed at the Foxconn factory in Shenzhen, China.
Other than that, rumors suggest that Apple is also working on a Foldable Macbook. But as of now, we don’t have much info on either of the Foldable devices from Apple.
So, this concludes our list of Apple products that are expected to launch someday in the future.
