I'm doubtful of this. Apple has more than enough cash to keep the ball rolling on R&D to weather this recession we keep hearing is "about to hit us" and the R&D cycle takes years anyway.
Current/future state of the economy aside, I think the whole tech industry is hitting this point where nobody really knows what to else to add to phones. It's really just refinement on the tech at this point. Wanna know what they'll do for iPhone in the next 5 years? Better camera, usb-c, add touch ID again, screen will go further to the edges, better screen, change in form factor (maybe thinner again), maybe maybe some folding option in in 5 years if that ends up being a large enough market, and lots of software tweaks.
We've run out obvious improvements that would make the average joe go out and upgrade their iphone/macbook. M1 was great, but now that I have it do I really need M2? Not for my needs. Maybe widespread VR/AR will be that next thing, but man Apple's gotta do that right from the get-go or they'll leave a bad taste in people's mouths.
