Interesting how most of the predictions seem either pessimistic or minor compared to last decade.
Here's mine:
1. Apple enters at least one new product category. This will likely be a wearable such as AR glasses.
2. Apple introduces hearing enhancement and protection features into the AirPods, attempting to expand its use case outside of music.
3. The next generation of console gaming will be VR. This includes a Nintendo VR console.
4. Webpages will become increasingly rare by 2030. Apps will emerge as the dominant web platform and traditional webpages will start to disappear.
5. Information will continue to become untrustable. Deep fake videos, AI generated articles, paid reviews, nation state propaganda, etc will explode. It will become increasingly apparent that anonymity is damaging the web. Verified identity will become much more commonplace. New businesses will begin to form around authenticating information. Talk about tech regulation will become much more serious.
6. The trend will continue towards more privacy. This will result in more processing being performed locally on personal devices, and more peer-to-peer technologies that don't require sending information to a third party.
7. Companies will start to pay users for the right to see and use their personal information.
8. Grocery store delivery will become commonplace.
9. Electric cars will become more common than gasoline cars in terms of new purchases.
10. There won't be self driving cars, but individual autonomous features like adaptive cruise, lane keeping, parallel parking, and some new ones will continue to be experienced by more and more people, increasing people's trust in autonomous features.
11. AR calling will be created in some basic format. You'll be able to see the person you're calling as if they were standing in your living room. This will be AR's "killer app."
12. iPhone will not have any buttons or ports by the end of the decade.
13. iPhone camera will be able to take 3D pictures. It'll also be able to take AR pictures.
