Apple is a giant company, always do innovative things in the world of technology. The company’s plans for 2027 indicate that it is once again going to make a splash in the market on the basis of its futuristic innovation. On the occasion of the 20th year of the iPhone, Apple is preparing to launch some products that will not only be unmatched in terms of design and technology, but will also usher in a new era for consumers.
New avatar of iPhone: Glass body and foldable design
By 2027, Apple is planning to introduce the iPhone in a completely new form. According to reports, the company is developing an iPhone whose body design will be made entirely of glass and the display will be curved from edge to edge. This model will have neither notch nor dynamic island, but Apple will use under-display camera and sensor technology, which will make the screen look absolutely seamless. As I have investigated on different social media platforms, there are rumors that this new type of iPhone will not feature type-C port, it will be charged wireless + the body will have less buttons.
Apart from this, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reveals that Apple is also preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone, which can come in the market by 2027. This device will compete with foldable smartphones from Samsung and other Android brands. It is not yet clear whether it will be in clamshell style or book-form foldable design, but it is certain that Apple will offer this device with premium and high-tech features.
Smart Glasses: Apple’s big step in AR world
Apple is planning to launch its first smart glasses by 2027. Jay Peters of The Verge shares that this product will be a direct competitor to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses and other AR devices. These smart glasses of Apple will be lightweight, stylish and equipped with augmented reality (AR) technology. These may include features like audio playback, Siri integration, and basic AR notifications.
Apple has shown its strong hold in AR and VR technology through its Vision Pro headset, and now it will try to make this technology mainstream through smart glasses. These glasses will be run on Apple’s custom silicon chips, which will support AR processing with low power consumption.
Tabletop robot: Apple’s new home device
Apple may also launch a tabletop robot by 2027, which will be a combination of a smart home hub, speaker and interactive display. Robotics technology will be used in this device, so that it can turn towards the users or adjust its position by listening to their voice. Here’s a video, published last month on Apple’s Machine Learning Research website:
This device will be fully integrated with Apple’s HomeKit ecosystem and will support Apple Intelligence features. This project is considered to be a part of Apple’s “Product Renaissance” plan, under which the company wants to re-establish its innovation leadership by launching new and innovative products.
Custom silicon chips: Apple’s strength
A major reason for Apple’s success has been its custom silicon chips which will serve as brains for future devices. By 2027, the company is developing more advanced chips for its new devices. These include low-power AR chips for smart glasses, new M-series processors for Max and AI-optimized chips for Apple Intelligence servers. These chips will keep Apple ahead of its competitors in terms of performance and energy efficiency. As confirmed by the reporters, Taiwan’s TSMC is likely to produce this chip. If all goes as planned, the glasses could land on the eyes of users within the next two years.
Wi-Fi Syncing: Seamless Connectivity
Apple is going to introduce a new Wi-Fi syncing feature with iOS 19 (which will launch in 2025 and will continue to be upgraded until 2027). Under this feature, if a user logs in from one device on a captive Wi-Fi network of a hotel or cafe, then his credentials will be automatically synced to his other Apple devices like iPhone, iPad, Macbook Air, Macbook pro via iCloud. This will eliminate the need for users to login to Wi-Fi again and again.
Conclusion
There are some challenges among these plans of Apple, such as US-China trade tensions, supply chain issues, and competition in AI technology. But the company’s focus is on innovation and premium products, so that it can further strengthen its market position by 2027 or 2028.
Apple’s 2027 roadmap shows that the company is not only upgrading its existing products but also entering new categories. Products like glass iPhones, smart glasses, and tabletop robots could set a new standard in the world of technology. If Apple executes these plans correctly, 2027 could prove to be a major turning point for the tech industry.
