We recently heard that Apple’s new AR Glasses would be launching in 2020. The company is also expected to launch its iPhone SE 2. Now, it looks like there will also be some new iPad Pro tablets and new MacBooks.
New iPads with 3D Sensing Cameras
According to a recent report by Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will launch some new iPads with 3D sensing cameras in early 2020. These advanced cameras will also be featured in next year’s iPhones. The inclusion of 3D sensing technology is expected to revolutionize the way users interact with their devices, offering more immersive and precise augmented reality (AR) experiences.
These new cameras will be used for new AR applications, which would tie in with the launch of the Apple AR Glasses set to happen next year. The 3D sensing technology will likely enhance applications in gaming, education, and professional fields such as architecture and design. For instance, users could visualize how furniture would look in their homes before making a purchase or medical students could practice surgeries in a highly realistic virtual environment.
Upcoming MacBooks with Scissor Mechanism Keyboards
Apple will also launch some new MacBooks featuring a scissor mechanism instead of the current butterfly mechanism on its keyboards. The butterfly mechanism, introduced in 2015, has faced criticism for its lack of durability and susceptibility to dust and debris. The new scissor mechanism is expected to provide a more reliable and comfortable typing experience.
The first of these MacBooks is a 16-inch model, which we are expecting to launch this month. This model is anticipated to cater to professionals who require a larger screen and more powerful hardware for tasks such as video editing, software development, and graphic design. Other new models will be launched next year, potentially including updates to the MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
These new MacBooks will apparently be launched in the second quarter of 2020, so it looks like Apple has quite a bit planned for the first half of the year. The shift to the scissor mechanism could mark a significant improvement in user satisfaction and reliability, addressing many of the complaints that have plagued the butterfly keyboard design.
In addition to the new keyboard mechanism, these MacBooks are expected to feature the latest Intel processors, improved battery life, and possibly even new display technology such as mini-LED, which offers better color accuracy and energy efficiency compared to traditional LCD screens.
Overall, 2020 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Apple enthusiasts. With the launch of the iPhone SE 2, new iPad Pro tablets with 3D sensing cameras, and revamped MacBooks, Apple is poised to offer a range of innovative products that cater to both casual users and professionals alike.
