Mark Gurman says Apple has six major new product categories in development. That claim anchors most of this episode, with the Waveform crew spending roughly 22 minutes breaking down what those categories could realistically be, from smart glasses to home devices. Separately, MacRumors reports iOS 27 will add AI photo editing tools to Apple Intelligence, putting Apple in direct competition with Google Photos features that already exist.
The Samsung Galaxy Glasses leak drops first images, giving the crew something concrete to react to. Ming-Chi Kuo posted on X about an OpenAI smartphone in development, which drives a 12-minute conversation about what an AI-native phone actually does differently and whether the Jony Ive connection makes it credible. Google Photos launching an AI clothing try-on feature and Spotify bundling Peloton workouts into Premium round out the product news.
The episode is worth watching in full for the Gurman product categories segment alone. The debate gets specific about timelines and feasibility, not just wishful speculation. The Google icon gradient redesign discussion and YouTube TV custom multiview update are covered quickly but add useful context on where two major platforms are putting UX effort right now.
