What's known about the iPhone 2️⃣0️⃣ ?

📰 According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is likely to produce the iPhone 20 primarily in Chinese factories, contrary to expectations that the company would split production capacity between China and India.

🇹🇼 In 2027, the 20th anniversary of the first iPhone, the company is planning a major redesign of the lineup with “extremely complex” parts and new manufacturing methods that are easier to implement in China due to expertise and infrastructure.

🤔 iPhone 20 is expected to be predominantly glass.

🕯 For the iPhone anniversary, Apple is planning to revolutionize its products

📰 According to Bloomberg, the company will have several brand new devices, which are considered inside Apple as the biggest anniversary initiatives. And the innovations will not only be on the hardware side, but also on the software side, including the AI area (honest-to-goodness).

🔎 Apple's plan for 2027:

・The first foldable iPhone with no visible bend in the internal display (for the 20th anniversary of the first iPhone);

・An all-glass iPhone with a curved body and without a single notch in the display (for the 10th anniversary of the iPhone X);

・Apple smart glasses with cameras and Visual Intelligence features to gather information about the environment (and not only about it ;) );

・New AirPods with cameras for Visual Intelligence;

・Apple Watch with a camera for Visual Intelligence;

・A desktop device with a robotic arm based on an AI-enabled smart home hub under development;

・A new foldable large device that will be something between an iPad and a Mac while still having a touchscreen (but likely in 2028);

・Two important Apple AI developments are in the pipeline: powerful server chips that will power next-generation Apple Intelligence and a cutting-edge Siri with its own LLM that should make the assistant more human-like.

💪 Mark Gurman notes that waiting for these new products will give optimism to those who are tired of boring and slow updates. Simply put: the company will once again harness long and then go fast.

🔍 Magnifier on Mac and more

📰 Apple has published a video showing off the capabilities of an all-new magnifier for Mac and other accessibility features coming later this year.

🧍‍♂️ New features include Accessibility Nutrition Labels on the App Store, Braille Access, and Accessibility Reader; plus innovative updates to Live Listen, visionOS, Personal Voice, and more.

At Apple, accessibility is part of our DNA. Making technology for everyone is a priority for all of us, and we’re proud of the innovations we’re sharing this year. That includes tools to help people access crucial information, explore the world around them, and do what they love.

– said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.

ℹ️ All new accessibility features to read here.

🤖 Apple faced a shortage of powerful GPUs for AI training last year

All because of competitors like Amazon and Microsoft buying up resources.

📰 As Bloomberg reports, this is what has slowed the development of Apple Intelligence and LLM.

🐌 Apple also adheres to strict privacy standards, which limits access to real user data, unlike competitors (like Google). As a result, Apple uses synthetic data created by third-party vendors to train its AI. Recently, iPhones have started to help in this process, but Apple is overdue.

💪 Still, the company often prefers to wait for competitors to test the technology before introducing its own version, which has previously been successful with MP3 players, smartphones, and other products.

🇪🇺 iPhones will be allowed to set third-party voice assistant as default in the EU

📰 As Mark Gurman reports, Apple will have to introduce a feature to support third-party voice assistants under pressure from EU authorities to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA).

🔍 So iPhone users will be able to set, for example, Google Assistant as the default voice assistant and invoke it with the side button instead of Siri.

💭 It will also be possible to put a voice assistant based on ChatGPT. Right now, Siri as part of Apple Intelligence is able to relay verbal requests to ChatGPT, but with the introduction of the new feature, it will be possible to remove Siri from this chain and address ChatGPT directly.

🤫 When exactly Apple will prepare this feature for release is still unknown. But the company will definitely not present it with pomp, and will announce it quietly, as it seeks to preserve its own services.

📍 Also, don't expect this feature to be available anywhere outside of the EU (at least not before other countries start dictating their own terms to Apple).

🥴 iPhone 17 Air could get a battery like iPhone 12

If Asian insiders are right, its capacity will be only ~2800 mAh.

🤔 Perhaps for the new smartphone Apple will make a high-density battery and the capacity will slightly increase – by 15-20%. Or they will present a removable battery case especially for the release of the iPhone 17 Air.

💬 Is the thinnest iPhone in the upcoming lineup starting to get frustrating?

🙅‍♂️ Apple stops work on Apple Watch with a camera planned for 2027

📰 Apple is no longer planning to release an Apple Watch that includes a camera, reports Bloomberg. Apple was developing Apple Watch and Apple Watch Ultra models that had a camera to view the wearer's surrounding environment, but work on those projects ended this week.

👁️ The camera in Apple Watch would not have been used for FaceTime or photos, but instead would have allowed owners to get information about objects and places near them with Visual Intelligence.

🎧 Nevertheless Apple is still developing AirPods with tiny cameras inside. The AirPods cameras may be infrared sensors to enable features like enhanced spatial audio, in-air gesture control, and AI capabilities.
