Most tech giants have shown significant efforts in the AI race as well as in hardware advancements in 2024 — and the public can expect more of the same in 2025, according to Business Insider.
Many Big Tech companies had grand product unveilings this year, but some products are still not ready to hit the shelves. Notable mentions include Apple’s revamped Siri, Meta’s Orion glasses, and Google’s Project Astra.
While most of these products do not yet have specific release dates, here’s what tech fans can look forward to from major tech companies in the coming year.
META
Financial Times reported earlier this week that Meta is planning to add an internal display to its Ray-Ban smart glasses, set to debut in an update expected as early as the second half of 2025. The report states that the internal display could show notifications and responses from Meta’s chatbot.
Andrew Bosworth, Meta’s Chief Technology Officer and head of Reality Labs, wrote in a blog post that by 2025, users might experience personalized AI assistants that not only respond to prompts but also assist with tasks throughout the day.
Bosworth expressed his excitement, saying, “One of the things I’m most looking forward to in 2025 is the evolution of AI assistants.”
APPLE
Apple has hinted multiple times about releasing a “more personalized” Siri, but it remains unclear whether the update will arrive as soon as next year or in 2026.
However, the company is expected to unveil “LLM Siri” in 2025. Simply put, LLM Siri is powered by a large language model, similar to ChatGPT and Google Gemini. It will feature more conversational language capabilities, enhanced query analysis, and improved integration with apps through App Intents.
A Bloomberg report from November suggested that Apple might release a SmartHome device as early as March 2025. The device is rumored to be a wall-mounted tablet, akin to an iPad, that can control household devices, manage video calls, and utilize AI for app access.
The tech giant also plans to introduce a luxurious iPhone Air model and a budget-friendly iPhone SE version. According to insider sources, the new iPhone SE will remove the home button and integrate Apple Intelligence AI tools.
OPENAI
OpenAI has been working on GPT-5 for nearly two years, though the project was later paused. While the exact launch date remains unclear, many analysts predict it could happen in 2025.
The model is expected to showcase impressive capabilities far surpassing GPT-4, supporting multi-step task execution and efficiently handling queries involving audio, video, or text. GPT-5 will also feature a larger context window, enabling it to process much more text at once.
TESLA
While CEO Elon Musk does not anticipate mass production of the Cybercab until 2026, Tesla’s Q3 2024 earnings report revealed Musk’s hope of receiving regulatory approval for the vehicle in 2025.
Musk also emphasized that the company is on track to begin producing more affordable electric vehicles in the first half of 2025.
“These new models will align with future trends, leverage our current platform, and enable the production of multiple variants on the same assembly line,” Musk noted.
Additionally, Musk shared on social media platform X in July that Tesla plans to produce humanoid robots in limited quantities for internal operations in 2025, with mass production for external use scheduled for 2026.
In collaboration with Samsung and Qualcomm, Google unveiled its innovative mixed-reality (XR) approach through the launch of the Android XR spatial computing platform.
The first device, codenamed Project Moohan, built by Samsung, is slated for release next year. This device aims to deliver a cutting-edge mixed-reality experience and will feature integration with Google’s AI assistant, Gemini.
“With Gemini, our AI assistant, you can even discuss what you’re seeing or proactively control the device,” a Google spokesperson said. “Gemini understands your intentions, assists with planning, researches topics, and guides you through tasks with precision.”
Meanwhile, Google DeepMind hinted that some research prototypes, such as Project Astra, initially envisioned as a generative AI super assistant, may transition into other Google applications and services in the future. However, the company has not disclosed plans for a wide-scale rollout of Project Astra.
