Good speculation on how the next iPhone will bring mixed reality to the masses by Robert Scoble

Something I found interesting is naming the chips companies which are developing sensor not really needed right now for smartphones but which may be important for VR, to sensing the movements and some even required for Daydream's phones.

Pretty long article, but recommended.

Interesting. Obviously all just rumours right now. Didn't think Apple would be interested in this. I heard they also cancelled their 'Driverless Car' project. Guess we will have to wait and see.

the last couple of years it seems like apple is getting behind...

[Derek McAdon]

Ha! Unfortunately, even though the tech has already been out for years, as soon as Apple does augmented reality it will be a brand new invention of Apple's

[Blazingice94]

Yes, I think the new iPhone will be just the same as the 7 with a bunch of new features but not so innovative though.

[Goutam Mohan]

Apple is done with innovation and the smartphone industry by itself is saturated!

Apple is totally behind at the moment.

But if the competition don't massively improve their hardware and Apple stays ahead, that superfluous performance won't be so superfluous and they would have an edge.
