What is Apple's "next" future for the iPhone?

 

Is it still XR?

It's already been 14 years since the first iPhone came out in 2007. The iPhone is still a representative product of Apple, but the company may predict that "AR (augmented reality)" will come 10 years after the iPhone.

By the way, 2007 is the year when Windows Vista was released. At that time, I believed that Japanese mobile phones were the number one, and I never thought that I would buy a new overseas mobile phone (smartphone) every year. Oh yeah, "Hatsune Miku", who was born in the same year, is still active like Windows and iPhone.

This report on Apple's future was given by prominent analyst Minchey Kuo. According to Kuo, Apple first introduced the first "AR headset" in 2022. And in 10 years, AR will grow into an important product to replace the iPhone.

Furthermore, the demand for the insulating component "Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF)" used in AR headsets will exceed at least 1 billion in 10 years. It also predicts that ABF supplier Unimicron will benefit from this.

Speaking of Apple, it is a company that has been focusing on AR for a long time, such as releasing the AR platform "ARKit". Also, at the same time as the new product announcement, it can be said that AR is already fully utilized, such as releasing a gimmick that can be called on the desk with AR as soon as possible. One in the family and even each person owns an AR headset, wears it, and goes out ... Will such a future come?
