The Future of Apple: Cars, Siri, Satellites and Space
SATELLITES FOR EXTENDING INTERNET ACCESS
If you have been keeping a close eye on all of the recently circulating rumors about what Apple is currently cooking up, you could easily become excited thinking what the company’s development laboratories must look like. Basically, imagine some kind of tech equivalent of the colorful and vibrant world of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory - where augmented reality glasses, self-driving cars, satellites, and possibly even spaceships are being thoroughly tested by excited Apple staffers...
Truth be told, the picture that we have just painted is probably more of a best-case scenario than a faithful reflection of what is actually happening behind those closed doors. Maybe the more outlandish of those ideas are, like Willy Wonka’s “square sweets that look round”, just the stuff of fantasy... for now. Still, why shouldn’t Apple at least work towards realizing sky-high ambitions? Furthermore, there have been more and more leaks of evidence that it actually is.
