Apple is preparing to shake up the smartphone world in 2027 with a “mostly glass, curved iPhone” that could redefine mobile design, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. This futuristic model is expected to celebrate the iPhone’s 20th anniversary with no display cutouts — offering users a truly edge-to-edge screen.
Reports suggest that Apple is developing under-display camera technology, enabling this seamless look. Unlike previous curved smartphones from Samsung and Vivo, Apple appears to be aiming for a design based on its 2019 patent — a continuous glass loop around the device. If successful, it could mark a new era for smartphone aesthetics and functionality.
Foldables, Smart Glasses, and the Return of Innovation
But Apple’s 2027 plans don’t stop with the iPhone. Gurman hints at a massive product blitz that could include:
- Apple’s first foldable iPhone — expected to challenge current foldable leaders like Samsung.
- Smart glasses — with and without augmented reality (AR), directly competing with Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses.
- Camera-equipped AirPods and Apple Watches — bringing new levels of utility to wearables.
These launches aim to position Apple at the forefront of not just mobile, but wearable and immersive tech ecosystems.
Apple’s Tabletop AI Robot: Your New Digital Assistant
Perhaps the most surprising revelation is Apple’s rumored home robot — described as a tabletop AI assistant with its own personality. Slated for 2027, this device could revolutionize how users interact with AI at home.
Speculation is already swirling, with some suggesting it could be a more advanced version of the experimental robotic lamp Apple researchers have been quietly developing.
AI-Powered Siri and New Apple Chips
By 2027, Siri is also expected to get its biggest upgrade yet — becoming a large language model (LLM)-powered assistant. Reports indicate that Apple’s Israel-based silicon team, known for pioneering the company’s M-series chips, is working on server-side AI processors that could dramatically boost Siri’s intelligence and responsiveness.
If successful, this move could finally bring Apple’s AI capabilities on par with competitors like Google and OpenAI, while maintaining the company’s signature emphasis on privacy and security.
2027: The Year Apple Changes Everything
With a curved glass iPhone, foldables, smart glasses, AI-enhanced wearables, home robots, and next-gen Siri, 2027 is shaping up to be Apple’s most ambitious year yet. As the company prepares to celebrate two decades of the iPhone, it’s clear that its sights are set on leading the tech world into the next era.
