2018-11-30 - Apple’s iPhone plus Wearables Strategy

It is reasonable to believe that Apple has known for at least three years, if not more, that demand for the iPhone, with its current design and available apps, would hit a peak sometime in 2017-2018. Market watchers who look at worldwide demand for smartphones have also seen that the market was close to a saturation point and that its height was near.

. . .

However, there is something that Apple has been talking about that I do believe has the potential of maintaining iPhone refresh rates and it is focused around Augmented Reality. AR and the role of an iPhone connected to a set of what I call “skinny glasses” could be a key evolution in how Smartphones will be used in the future.

. . .

At a fundamental level, with AR, Apple is extending their leadership in user interfaces and design. These “skinny” glasses have to look like regular glasses, or mainstream users will never accept them. I expect it to have some viewing screen and voice and gestures will control it. With AR glasses, Apple will popularize gestures as a new addition to their expertise in man-machine interfaces. But in a big picture perspective, an iPhone with great AR glasses would be poised to re-invent the smartphone market again and in turn, drive even higher demand for an iPhone in the future.
