It’s looking like an especially good time to be an Apple follower. In early October, the Nikkei Asian Review reported that Apple had asked suppliers to hike production of its iPhone 11 series by up to 10%, due to better-than-expected demand from consumers. Apple CEO Tim Cook, meanwhile, told German newspaper Bild that iPhone 11 sales have seen a “very strong start”. However, there could be better still just around the corner, given rumors of Apple’s product pipeline for 2020.
Naturally, Apple is expected to unveil new iPhones next September – and it looks like those will see the most significant overhaul in iPhone design since the pioneering iPhone X in 2017. However, a recent flurry of reports has suggested that before then, Apple will bring out a second-generation iPhone SE, an iPad Pro equipped with a rear-facing 3D Time of Flight camera, MacBooks with new scissor-mechanism keyboards and, in the year’s second quarter, even an augmented reality headset.
This is all before we even begin to consider the high-end iPad and MacBook models that will reportedly come with new Mini-LED displays and could just sneak into the 2020 release window. It all adds up to what looks like Apple’s most excitingly packed year since at least 2017, when the iPhone X debuted, the iPad Pro’s bezels were trimmed and the HomePod was announced.
Without further delay, then, here’s an in-depth overview of what we can expect as 2020 unfolds...
