According to technology experts, in the coming years, how will Apple change the world?
Apple is known for creating groundbreaking products. It has done so in many different categories, spanning its history of hardware, software, and services. And it's only natural that the tech giant is always looking for the next big thing.
Apple's "big thing" is here
Every year, Wall Street and tech watchers love to ask the question: What will Apple's next big thing be?
Apple CEO - Tim Cook.
It could be a big impact product like the iPhone, it could be a new car, AI, or something completely different and groundbreaking.
Over the years, Tim Cook has commented on what he believes Apple will change the world in the most powerful way. The area where Apple will make the greatest contribution to society.
What is your answer? Health.
In a recent interview with WIRED, Apple CEO said:
It's clear that if you look further into the future and look back and ask what Apple's biggest contribution is going to be in the health space. That's something I really believe.
“Health” is an abstract concept, but at Apple, it’s baked into wearables.
Health and wearables: two inseparable choices for Apple's future
Currently, Apple offers three main lines of wearables:
1. Apple Watch
2. AirPods
3. Vision Pro Glasses
The Apple Watch has been incredibly successful, and so have the AirPods.
Vision Pro is just getting started but has a bright future ahead.
However, all three of these products still have huge growth potential.

In many ways, health could turn Apple's wearables from "nice-to-have" to almost indispensable.
Health trackers will have the biggest impact on Apple
According to experts, Tim Cook's health comments are referring to the Apple Watch and its health features.
Just two months ago, Apple added new health features to its AirPods Pro 2 wireless headphones. More features are on the way.
Vision Pro and its successors will feature:
- A great Mindfulness app in visionOS
- Powerful Live Captions for the hearing impaired
- Delivering an engaging Apple Fitness+ experience.
With three wearable products all expanding into health in the future, it's much easier to see things from Tim Cook's perspective.
