The AirPods, initially slated for 2026, were delayed due to Apple's AI software struggles. The anniversary iPhones will feature a 2-nanometer A21 chip.", "body_md": "A new * Bloomberg report* today details three major new products from Apple coming in late 2027: the 20th anniversary iPhone, a second-generation foldable iPhone, and AirPods with built-in cameras.\n\nFirst, Mark Gurman reports that Apple’s camera-equipped AirPods are “scheduled to launch in late 2027.” This product was initially slated to be released this year, but was pushed back due to Apple Intelligence and Siri delays:\n\nThe AirPods, code-named B798, were originally slated for release in 2026, according to the people. The deadline slipped in part because of Apple’s prolonged struggles with artificial intelligence software. The company also had to develop visual AI models capable of identifying objects in a user’s surroundings.\n\nThe timing of all the products remains fluid and could change.\n\nAlongside the AirPods with cameras, *Bloomberg* reports that Apple is on track to launch an all-new iPhone lineup.\n\nHeadlining the new iPhone lineup in 2027 will be a 20th anniversary model with a “nearly edge-to-edge display.” This design will also feature “curved glass that wraps around the sides.”\n\nAccording to Gurman, this iPhone will be available in two models that are “similar sizes” to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Apple will also launch a second-generation foldable iPhone in late 2027.\n\nThe anniversary models, code-named V73 and V74, will succeed the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max coming this year, and debut in similar sizes. Both the anniversary and second-generation foldable models will run on a 2-nanometer A21 chip internally dubbed Naxos.\n\nIn 2028, Apple’s high-end iPhones will be powered by the A22 Pro chip, which could use a new 1.4-nanometer production technology.\n\nMore imminently, of course, Apple will announce the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max later this year (powered by the A20 Pro chip). The standard iPhone 18 will launch in early 2027 (powered by the base A20 chip).\n\n**Chance’s favorites: **\n\n[AirPods Pro 3: $179 (Reg. $249)](https://amzn.to/4uUqAwW): Lowest price ever![Bring wireless CarPlay to any car](https://amzn.to/3RBXa7T)[“Apple: The First 50 Years” by David Pogue](https://amzn.to/3RZWqtm)[Logitech MX Master 4](https://amzn.to/4adTvDF)[Belkin 3-in-1 MagSafe Charger](https://amzn.to/4fpVjgj)[Beats Woven USB-C Charging Cables](https://amzn.to/4ekuxou)\n\n**Follow Chance**: [Threads](https://www.threads.net/@ChanceHMiller), [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/chancemiller.me), [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/chancehmiller/), and [Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/@ChanceHMiller).\n\n*FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.* [More.](https://9to5mac.com/about/#affiliate)\n\n[our homepage](http://9to5mac.com/)for all the latest news, and follow 9to5Mac on\n\n[exclusive stories](https://9to5mac.com/feature/exclusive/),\n\n[reviews](https://9to5mac.com/guides/review/),\n\n[how-tos](https://9to5mac.com/guides/how-to/), and\n\n[subscribe to our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/9to5mac)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-releasing-20th-anniversary-iphone-airpods-with-cameras-next-year-report", "canonical_source": "https://9to5mac.com/2026/06/16/apple-releasing-20th-anniversary-iphone-airpods-with-cameras-next-year-report/", "published_at": "2026-06-16 16:31:11+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-16 17:00:52.242549+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-products", "ai-research"], "entities": ["Apple", "Bloomberg", "Mark Gurman", "AirPods", "iPhone", "A21 chip", "Naxos"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-releasing-20th-anniversary-iphone-airpods-with-cameras-next-year-report", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-releasing-20th-anniversary-iphone-airpods-with-cameras-next-year-report.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-releasing-20th-anniversary-iphone-airpods-with-cameras-next-year-report.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-releasing-20th-anniversary-iphone-airpods-with-cameras-next-year-report.jsonld"}}
