At the beginning of 2024 we made a blog where we predicted the most anticipated tech that would release throughout this year. And with 2025 being only a few months away we thought we’d reflect on our past list and see what we predicted correctly and what we were mistaken with.
Below is a list of everything mentioned in the past blog Anticipated Tech Of 2024 in order as mentioned in the blog.
- Switch 2
- Samsung Galaxy S24
- Ring Home Drone
- Apple Vision Pro
- Rollable Phones
- Lenovo Transparent Laptop
- Samsung Galaxy Ring
- Humane AI Pin
- Pholed Televisions
- Apple Folding iPad
- Triple Folding Samsung Phone
- VR In Wearables
- Improved AR
- iPhone 16
- Generative AI In Tech
- Customer Service AI
Below we have categorised all the predictions into 3 sections. The released products that we predicted correctly, the updated predictions which we got correctly but not quite and the predictions that didn’t quite make the cut this year. Let’s take a look.
