Apple is actively developing at least three innovative products, including a "spatial iPhone" with holographic display capabilities, an AI accessory integrated with the iPhone, and a new AirPods Pro with an AI camera. According to insiders, the AI accessory and the new AirPods Pro have entered the advanced testing phase and are expected to be released as early as next year, while the holographic iPhone may not be available until 2030.
Information about the holographic iPhone comes from well-known leaker Schrodinger, who shared a report from an anonymous source. According to these reports, Apple is developing a "spatial iPhone" codenamed H1 or MH1, which features a holographic display that can create realistic depth effects without requiring glasses. This new screen will combine advanced eye-tracking technology and diffraction beam steering technology, using a nanoscale holographic layer embedded in the AMOLED screen to redirect light, making objects on the screen appear to float above the display. The device's display is said to be supplied by Samsung, incorporating a patented algorithm that allows users to view the screen content from any angle.
The other two products were reported by Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. He stated that Apple's AI accessory and the new AirPods Pro have entered the advanced testing phase. The AI accessory will be similar in size to an "AirTag," without its own display, but will feature a "always-on" camera and a microphone for Siri voice commands. Users can wear it as a necklace or attach it to their clothing. This product is expected to be released as early as next year.
About the new AirPods Pro, Gurman revealed that development is nearing completion, with final designs, hardware, and software already finalized. It is expected to begin commercial production soon. These earphones will include a camera, primarily used to provide visual data for AI processing rather than taking photos or videos. The new AirPods Pro was originally scheduled for release in the first half of this year but has been delayed due to issues related to Apple Intelligence. It is now expected to be released by the end of the year after the new version of Siri is launched in September. However, if Apple is not satisfied with the quality, further delays may still occur.
