Apple 2027 rumours: AirPods with AI cameras and a second foldable iPhone

Now that we’re done with WWDC and all the AI-powered features coming to Apple platforms, Bloomberg Reporter Mark Gurman has more details on the rumored new devices such as Camera-equipped AirPods He did Written about it previously. He says they’re currently on schedule for a late 2027 launch, and that while we check out betas for this fall’s iOS 27 update, the new earbuds are being tested internally with next year’s update, iOS 28.

With cameras mounted in its stems and lights to indicate when data is uploaded to the cloud, an upgraded version of Siri could provide “visual context” about your surroundings, before Apple eventually launches its first pair of smart glasses.

He also mentioned a second-generation foldable phone to follow the model he says we can expect to see this fall, as a sign that Apple will stick with the new product category, and hopefully we’ll find better ways to take advantage of the extra screens than we’ve seen in the category so far. I like my Pixel 10 Pro Fold, but between apps that fail to adapt to the larger screen and a smaller battery than the largest standard Pixel 10, it adds a lot of compromise and a hefty price.

As Gorman mentioned Long rumored The “20th Anniversary” iPhone, dubbed the V73 and V74, says it will follow this year’s iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max that offer similar sizes, but add “an almost edge-to-edge display, with curved glass that wraps around the sides.”

Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 18 may not launch until next year, while powered by a similar A20 series chip to phones planned for release this fall, before other 2027 phones jump to the 2nm A21 chip, with plans to switch to 1.4nm technology for the A22 Pro, with Apple “considering” using Intel to handle some production alongside its usual source, TSMC.

This seems to go along with Rumors of the past few years Which previewed the arrival of the slim iPhone Air. But with John Ternos taking over as Apple’s CEO, RAM and component shortages looming over everything, and artificial intelligence everywhere, even the strongly rumored plans could change.
