Highlights Apple aims for the thinnest and lightest devices across its product lineup. iPhone 17 to feature a radically thin model in 2025. Apple Watch X revamp promises the biggest design changes yet. Siri's AI capabilities expanding with natural language updates. Last month's unveiling of the incredibly slim M4 iPad Pro seems to have kickstarted a new era of design at Apple. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the tech giant now aims to make its entire product lineup the "thinnest and lightest" in their respective categories. Gurman reveals that Apple has major slimming plans for the iPhone, MacBook Pro, and even the Apple Watch over the coming years. The recently launched 5.1mm-thick iPad Pro is just the start of this new super-slim approach. The iPhone 17 lineup, expected in 2025, will reportedly include a radically thin model sporting an all-new design. Apple launched iPad Pro (2024) as its slimmest tablets to date Apple's goal is to significantly reduce the thickness compared to current iPhones. Similarly, upcoming versions of the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro will also get considerably slimmer than their current generations. However, this obsession with thinness contrasts with the MacBook Pro's recent redesign in 2021. That update actually made the laptops thicker and heavier to accommodate features like MagSafe charging, HDMI output, and an SD card slot alongside the switch to Apple Silicon chips. Apple Watch Redesign on the Horizon The company is working on thinner MacBook Pro, Apple Watch models Gurman also reinforces previous reports about a major overhaul for the Apple Watch, dubbed the "Apple Watch X." This revamp is tipped to bring the biggest design changes yet to Apple's wearable. Siri's AI Capabilities Expanding Siri's AI capabilities expanding with natural language updates Elsewhere, Siri is lined up for some notable AI-powered improvements before 2024 ends. A new glowing ring interface showcased at WWDC will modernize the virtual assistant's look. Siri will also receive a natural language update to better understand conversational speech, even when users misspeak. Furthermore, Apple plans to broaden Siri's knowledge about its own product lineup. And in a welcome move, users will finally be able to type queries to Siri instead of always having to speak out loud. Cautious Rollout for AI Features Apple to introduce a slimmer smartphone with the iPhone 17 series Like Siri's upgrades, many of Apple's other AI-based features won't arrive until next year. Gurman reports that Apple is purposely taking a slow, cautious approach to rolling out its AI offerings, aiming to avoid the pitfalls faced by other tech firms with their large language models (LLMs). However, some AI capabilities are still expected to debut in 2024. These include AI-generated notification summaries, recaps for webpages, voice memos, notes, and emails, plus an intriguing "Genmoji" feature for AI-generated emoji. Later in 2024, a redesigned Mail app and the AI-powered Swift Assist coding companion for Xcode are also on the roadmap. FAQs What is Apple's new design direction?
