Other iPhone 25. What features might we see in 10 years?

Satellite calling, better battery, better camera, faster, etc...all of this is predictable, but would it even be recognizable in 10 years? What else can it possibly have that it doesn't have today?

I liked watching that Extrapolations show for hints at what mobile technology will be like in 20-40 years.

I think Swan Song on AppleTV does a very good job of painting where Apple would like to head with its technology.

It really depends on how well miniaturization progresses. If it continues on its current trend line, I'd expect iPhone to turn more into a compute that has high-speed networking with wearables (Watch, AirPods Pro). Vision could conceivably come in a glasses form factor by then, but unlikely we'd see Vision contacts like shown in Swan Song. The wearables would likely become a primary way of interacting with content (voice, gestures, visuals provided through Vision) and touch input would become secondary.

Telepathy API. iPhone 25 will be able to read your mind 🤪

iPhone 6 is 9 years old. Not much has changed except SOC speed and camera quality. (iPhone 6 is dog slow nowadays).
I’d expect less degree of change in the next 10 years. TSMC will hit a wall pretty soon.

I have wondered for years what will happen when the manufacturing size hits the lowest it can go. Just add more cores?
