After all, I\u2019d describe the iPhone 15 Pro sitting on my desk right now as \u201cmostly glass,\u201d with the only exterior metal being around the camera lenses and in its titanium edge, which the front and back curve down to. Assuming he\u2019s not describing a banana-shaped iPhone, the closest hints are probably in Apple patents revealed over the years, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patentlyapple.com\/2019\/11\/apple-updates-their-iphone-with-a-wrap-around-display-patent-confirming-a-glass-housing-with-a-looping-display.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one from 2019<\/a> that describes a phone encased in glass that \u201cforms a continuous loop\u201d around the device.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Finally, Gurman writes that by 2027 Apple could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/622465\/siris-real-ai-upgrade-could-still-be-years-away\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">finally ship an LLM-powered Siri<\/a> and may have created new chips for its server-side AI processing. A December report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinformation.com\/articles\/apple-is-working-on-ai-chip-with-broadcom?rc=v4bmzs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">from The Information<\/a> covered such a development and suggested that the team handling Apple\u2019s new AI chips is the same Israel-based silicon design group that was \u201cinstrumental in designing\u201d the Apple silicon chips that let the company ditch Intel chips for its Macs in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This morning, while summarizing an Apple \u201cproduct blitz\u201d he expects for 2027, Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman writes in his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":93725,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[323,1662,11380,1666,12,326,53,16,15,8260],"class_list":{"0":"post-93724","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-apple","10":"tag-apple-rumors","11":"tag-iphone","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-tech","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-wearable"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/93725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
