I am sure Apple is testing all of this hardware. I am also sure half of it will be delayed and the other half will never see the light of day.

No handheld physical devices anymore.
Shift to AI Glasses and neural Retina between 2027 and 2030.
That’s what I’m doing with my iPhone 15pro and this is the least likable of any product I’ve owned because of the battery. May just use care To get a “new” one to hold me over.
Anyone complaining about the absence of compact phones should just buy the upcoming foldables. No excuse then. Candybar compacts don't sell.
The problem is most people don't want all the compromises that come with a foldable phone. Thus why they aren't big sellers in the Android world.
None of these devices make sense from usability standpoint. Stuff for the sake of stuff. Gimmick train is back on track with edge displays. Samsung tried those gimmicks already last decade.
Jobs and Ive must be rolling in their graves.
I know Jony Ive (number five!) is still alive; that’s just how he sleeps.

I want a Fold and hopefully it will hold a stylus too oops sorry a pencil mini … I am not convinced of the clamshell and as for the Candy bar well … so that’s it I want a Fold a Macpad Pro and Apple Glasses with 120hz display … Thank you
The popularity of the standard candybar models this year shows that consumers don't want or need a massive redesign. The occasional chassis shift and spec bump is really all that is needed in terms of hardware. Some people think phones are currently boring but then, beyond internal spec bumps and a thinner chassis the basic design of a laptop hasn't changed since the original Titanium Powerbook over 20 years ago and nobody bats an eyelid at that.
If they really want to push innovation in the 'personal communication' space then they need to concentrate on getting an Apple Watch out the door with a helpful AI assistant in tow that gives you 18 hours battery with 5G on all day. All the benefits, none of the addictive qualities and swipe-theft-proof in the process.

If you're referring to the clamshell model, 2028 is the iPhone 20 year.
Intriguing timing. The Mini 13 was released in 2021, and iPhones technically get 7 years of OS compatibility, so it’s gonna hit the wall the same year that this iPhone Makeup Compact comes out.
Three more years to go!
Looking forward to the 20th Anniversary iPhone. That’ll be my next upgrade from my 15 pro.
Do you complain about the Samsung Tax? The Samsung models equivalent to the iPhones have equivalent prices.
That doesn’t make sense, the upcoming foldable will be as large and heavy as a Pro Max.
What I want is a sub 65mm wide, sub 140 grams phone. Neither of the upcoming iPhones will be that.
And all those "innovations" are also coming from Asia, specifically from Asian companies and/or Asian engineers.
The flip phones are simply niche products that don't sell well.
Maybe the Anniversary phone will be a "smaller" phone hopefully. I doubt it will be Mini sized but hopefully we see it 6.1"ish at the most. I'm hoping it will be 5.8" to 6.1", fully rounded sides like the X and 11, with a weight of less than 6 ounces. Now that would be a great phone and fitting to be a special edition Anniversary edition.iPhone Pro Mini
