Apple 2027 rumors: AirPods with cameras for AI and the second folding iPhone

苹果 2027 年传闻：配备 AI 摄像头的 AirPods 与第二代折叠屏 iPhone

All leading up to the eventual smart glasses. 这一切都是为了最终推出的智能眼镜做铺垫。

Now that we’re clear of WWDC and all of the new AI-powered features coming to Apple’s platforms, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has more details about rumored new hardware, like the camera-equipped AirPods he’d previously written about. He says they are currently on schedule for a late 2027 launch, and that while we’re checking out beta releases for this fall’s iOS 27 update, the new earbuds are internally being tested with next year’s update, iOS 28. 随着 WWDC 的结束以及苹果平台即将迎来的一系列 AI 功能，彭博社记者 Mark Gurman 披露了更多关于传闻中新硬件的细节，例如他此前曾报道过的配备摄像头的 AirPods。他表示，该产品目前计划于 2027 年底发布。虽然我们目前正在体验今年秋季 iOS 27 更新的测试版，但这款新耳机已经在内部进行适配明年 iOS 28 更新的测试。

With cameras mounted in their stems and lights to indicate when data is being uploaded to the cloud, they could give the upgraded version of Siri “visual context” about your surroundings, before Apple eventually releases its first pair of smart glasses. 通过在耳机柄上安装摄像头，并配有指示数据上传至云端的灯光，这些耳机可以在苹果最终发布首款智能眼镜之前，为升级版的 Siri 提供关于你周围环境的“视觉语境”。

Also mentioned is a second-generation foldable phone to follow the model that he says we can expect to see this fall, as an indication that Apple will be committed to the new product category, and, hopefully, find even better ways to take advantage of the extra screens than we’ve seen in the category so far. I like my Pixel 10 Pro Fold, but between apps that fail to adjust for the bigger screen and a smaller battery than the largest standard Pixel 10, it adds a lot of compromises and a hefty price. 文中还提到了第二代折叠屏手机，它将继今年秋季预计发布的首款机型之后推出。这表明苹果将致力于深耕这一新产品类别，并有望找到比目前市面上同类产品更好的方式来利用额外的屏幕空间。我个人很喜欢我的 Pixel 10 Pro Fold，但由于应用无法适配大屏，且电池容量比标准版 Pixel 10 更小，它带来了许多妥协，而且价格昂贵。

Gurman also mentioned the long-rumored “20th anniversary” iPhone, dubbed V73 and V74, which he says will follow this year’s iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max offering similar sizes, but adding a “nearly edge-to-edge display, with curved glass that wraps around the sides.” Gurman 还提到了传闻已久的“20 周年纪念版”iPhone（代号 V73 和 V74）。他表示，该机型将紧随今年 iPhone 18 Pro 和 Pro Max 的脚步，提供相似的尺寸，但会增加“近乎全面屏的显示效果，并采用包裹侧面的曲面玻璃”。

Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 18 may not launch until next year, while running on an A20 series chip similar to phones planned for release this fall, before the other 2027 phones jump to a 2nm A21 chip, with plans to shift to 1.4nm technology for the A22 Pro, with Apple “considering” using Intel to handle some production along with its usual source, TSMC. 与此同时，标准版 iPhone 18 可能要到明年才会发布，它将搭载与今年秋季计划发布机型类似的 A20 系列芯片。随后，2027 年的其他机型将升级至 2nm 工艺的 A21 芯片，并计划在 A22 Pro 上转向 1.4nm 技术。苹果目前正在“考虑”除了其常规供应商台积电（TSMC）之外，也让英特尔参与部分生产。

This seems to line up with the rumors of the last few years that previewed the arrival of the skinny iPhone Air. But with John Ternus taking over as Apple’s CEO, a RAM and component shortage looming over everything, and AI everywhere, even solidly rumored plans could change. 这似乎与过去几年关于轻薄款 iPhone Air 即将到来的传闻相吻合。但随着 John Ternus 接任苹果 CEO，加上内存和零部件短缺的阴影笼罩，以及 AI 技术的全面普及，即使是目前看来非常确凿的计划也可能会发生变化。
