Back in 2017, Gene Munster, former Piper Jaffray equity analyst and now managing partner at Loup Ventures, said that if Apple were to release a pair of AR smart glasses, the wearable would be bigger than the iPhone. Time will tell if he is right, although he was wrong about the launch of the specs which he saw taking place in 2020. He said eight years ago, “In 10 years we expect the iPhone will be around but be a much smaller part of Apple’s business as Apple Glasses slowly gains market adoption.”
Could Apple shock the world in 2027, 20 years after it changed the world with the iPhone?

With such a revolutionary new iPhone possibly being unveiled in 2027, and Apple hoping to release its first pair of smart glasses the same year, it would be perfect if Apple could do something unexpected and release AR smart glasses in 2027.
Can Tim Cook get Apple employees to do the impossible the way his predecessor could?

Perhaps Apple will have to shock the world again without releasing AR glasses in 2027 as it might be asking too much of Apple to somehow have AR smart glasses ready for 2027. We also must remember that Tim Cook is not Steve Jobs as the latter could demand so much from his engineers without worrying about the impact on their personal lives.
Some haters attack Jobs for this trait in him that he would risk the wellbeing of his employees in order to make a good product great. Jobs also had the ability to make last second decisions that would completely change a device just before it shipped. One of these stories about Jobs involves a last second change during the development of the iPhone. Originally, the handset used a plastic display for the prototypes, but Steve hated the feel of plastic and didn’t like the scratches that appeared on the display from keys. So, he ordered that glass be used on the iPhone, which set off a number of changes that had to be made in the last minute by Apple employees already feeling pressure.
Is it possible that Tim Cook has enough Steve Jobs in him to allow Apple to shock the world again by shipping AR smart glasses in 2027? Remember, Apple is expected to unveil the glasses in 2026 and release them the next year which gives it an additional year to get the tech done.
