Thursday marks the 10-year anniversary of the iPhone’s big
coming out party. A decade later, the iPhone has
changed the future of not just computing, but entire sectors of the economy,
our social lives and transportation.
And while the iPhone has evolved a good deal through the
years, the next decade could see even greater changes to Apple’s (AAPL) cash cow.
We’re talking about more sophisticated artificial
intelligence to better predict what you want when you want it, voice controls
that are less robotic and more conversational, an augmented reality-style
interface and true multi-screen user experiences that let you leave your phone
behind.
It’s impossible to say for sure, but in 10 years, the iPhone
might look totally different from the black rectangle you keep in your pocket.
Predicting the future
Apple is already laying the groundwork for its future
iPhone. During its Worldwide Developers Conference in early June, the company
showed off how much it believes in augmented reality technology.
Augmented reality is the name for the technology that lets
you overlay digital images on top of the real world. The most popular example
of the tech is the game “Pokémon
Go.”
