With the impact of the COVID-19 virus epidemic affecting everyone, Apple's short and medium-term strategies (and other companies) are affected. It's something I mentioned in the previous part of Rumorsfera, and that seems to be reflected in a release almost a few days ago on Twitter.
So, it's hard to start predicting specific product launch dates that a company should have on its agenda, but we can use all the previous rumors to at least be able to name the times when we experienced a strange phenomenon. It is always emphasized, however, that these strings can be changed or canceled with a simple distribution decision. Therefore, we take all this data very carefully.
This is Apple's agenda from tomorrow until 2021
The closest introduction that is IPhone 9. Apparently Apple would be holding high-level meetings to decide whether or not to introduce us in the near future, so we can see it next week. The biggest obstacle will be how to achieve good sales figures with Apple Stores worldwide closed as well as the restrictions of a few countries that can block home phone shipments.
The AirTags They do not have an official launch date, but they did see the light appearing on WWDC20 in early June or next to the iPhone 12 launch in September. This is supported by the fact that AirTags comes from the iOS 14 source code, which will be launched in the first month and will be launched in the second. There are rumors that are optimistic that April is just another possible launch date … and that may have been Apple's first plan before the COVID-19 virus invaded almost half of the world's population exclusively.
We've gone for a review on the Mac list. Ming-Chi Kuo included in its reports of renewal reports iMac Pro towards the end of the year, and before him were new ones 14-inch MacBook Pro It will replace the current 13-inch model the same way the 16-inch model replaces the 15-inch model. Same refresh idea: smaller frame, more screen, same size.
Before the end of the year we will look again at a an iPad range update: There will be a new mini mini with the new 10.2-inch model, while the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro model will outperform the miniLED panel with all the benefits that can include this. It could be sometime in the second half of 2020. Oh, by the way, Apple Watch Series 6 You should also see the light at that time, ideally in September or October.
There are some dubious rumors but to mention: the first iPhone with 5G is likely to see some light this year or so, and according to iOS 14 leaks we should see the arrival of some & # 39; AirPods Studio & # 39; sometime in the fall. And of course, we can have many surprises such as the aforementioned AirPower reboot.
Also unpleasant reality mirrors have we been talking about it for years? I would totally release 2020 as the year this new device sees the light. Maybe 2021 may be the right time.
What we will see for sure in June is the launch of IOS 14, iPadOS 14, watOS 7, macOS 10.16 and tvOS 14. From there, developers will begin downloading successive betas of all those plans throughout the summer to launch a final and stable plan in September or October. Hopefully, the coronavirus doesn't overturn all those programs.
