What products will Apple introduce to us next? Many fans are asking themselves this question. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo talks about new iPads and AirPods.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has already commented on battery technology innovations in the iPhone 2021 expressed. He also mentioned MiniLED technology in new iPads and the AirPods 3. According to him, Kuo expects Apple to present an iPad with a MiniLED display and the AirPods 3 in the first half of 2021. The new earbuds will be designed to be closer to the Pro version by having shorter stems. The AirPods 3 will also have replaceable earbuds. However, they will not have active noise cancellation. Furthermore, Apple will adopt the system-in-package design of the Pro models. According to his information, mass production will start in early 2021. Regarding the iPad with a MiniLED display, Kuo revised his forecast, which he first made over eight months ago.
iPad & MacBook: What are the advantages of MiniLED displays?
He originally announced six products, including iPads and Macs, with miniLED panels. As a reminder, there was talk of a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, a 27-inch iMac Pro, a 14.1-inch MacBook Pro, a 16-inch MacBook Pro, a 10.2-inch iPad and a 7-9-inch iPad. The launch of these devices should start at the end of 2021. But now he claims to have learned that Apple could start doing this as early as the first half of 2021. Specifically, he expects an iPad Pro with the new display technology. According to the analyst, the switch to miniLED displays would enable thinner and lighter product designs. In addition, the new screen technology has the same advantages as OLEDs, with even better values. Apart from that, miniLEDs are more reliable because they cannot burn in. The bottom line is that Kuo still believes that 2021 could be Apple's miniLED year - at least that's what his sources suggest. AirPods Pro on special offer at Amazon – available now.
