Apple announced on Saturday that will launch an iPad with a mini-LED display and AirPods 3, with a design signature similar to AirPods Pro in the first half of next year, according to TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Eight months ago that Apple has six mini-LED products in its pipeline planned to launch though the end of 2021. The products include a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, a 27-inch iMac Pro, a 14.1-inch MacBook Pro, a 16-inch MacBook Pro, Kuo reported.
The AirPods 3 are expected to be more affordable and will lack higher-end features like Active Noise Cancellation. Battery life could be improved, though, and Apple is working on a new wireless chip.
AirPods will adopt the System-in-Package used for the AirPods Pro, replacing the rigid-flex PCB+SMT design of the second-generation AirPods, and allowing for a form factor similar to the AirPods Pro, featuring a shorter stem and replaceable ear tips.
On other hand, the rumors about Apple do not stop, this end of the year has been very intense, but it seems that the beginning of 2021 will also be moved. Many new features await us, AirPods 3, AirPods Studio, AirTag, iPad Pro and perhaps something else.
For the last 10 years, Apple introduced its flagship phones at an event near the start of September and released the phones 10 days later. All that changed in 2020, due to the pandemic, and the phones were delayed.
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro were pushed back to October, and the other two devices the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max , were released in November, reportedly due to a lack of parts for the manufacturing process.
