Recent reports have provided intriguing glimpses into Apple's potential product roadmap spanning from 2024 to 2026 and beyond.

Apple's 2024 Highlights

Apple commenced the year with the launch of its highly anticipated Vision Pro VR headset in early February, followed by the introduction of the M3 MacBook Air in March. While rumors swirled about the release of OLED iPads in March, Apple has yet to confirm these speculations.

Insights into 2025

According to insights from Samsung Securities, a subsidiary of Samsung, 2025 is expected to witness the unveiling of the iPhone SE 4 boasting a 6.1-inch OLED panel and a cutting-edge 48 MP camera. Furthermore, regular iPhone models, potentially belonging to the iPhone 17 series, could feature remarkable upgrades including 48 MP triple cameras, 12 GB of DRAM, and a 48 MP front camera equipped with OIS. Notably, the introduction of "Pol-less" displays for the 2025 iPhones promises enhanced brightness, efficiency, and slimness, building upon Samsung's pioneering technology.

Looking Ahead to 2026

The roadmap for 2026 showcases an array of exciting possibilities, including the advent of foldable iPhones, a budget-friendly iPhone XR, and the introduction of OLED MacBooks available in 14 and 16-inch variants. These foldable iPhones are anticipated to offer screen sizes ranging from 6 to 8 inches, incorporating Low Latency Wide (LLW) DRAM, a technology heralded by Samsung earlier in the year. Additionally, Apple may expand its iPad lineup with mini and Air models featuring 8.4 and 10.9-inch OLED displays, further enriching the user experience.

Glimpses of the Future

Looking even further ahead, Samsung Securities predicts Apple's foray into groundbreaking innovations with the potential release of a 20-inch foldable iPad and augmented reality (AR) glasses. These AR glasses are purported to utilize a 1.4-inch RGB display, possibly of Micro OLED or Micro LED nature, aligning with the technology employed in the Apple Vision Pro VR headset. However, details regarding the AR glasses remain scarce at this stage.

A Note of Caution

While the purported product roadmap presents a tantalizing glimpse into Apple's future endeavors, it is essential to approach these projections with caution. The tech industry is notorious for its fluidity, with companies often rescheduling or shelving projects entirely, as evidenced by Apple's recent decision to halt its electric vehicle (EV) project. Therefore, while the outlined roadmap is compelling, it is subject to change as Apple navigates the dynamic landscape of innovation and consumer demand.
