The new iPad Pro with AR support

Last August, Apple was rumored to be working on a refreshed version of iPad Pro and that the Apple-branded tablet might get a huge upgrade to its rear camera setup. In fact, a known Japanese tech outlet called Macotakara made a statement earlier that the powerful tablet was set to get a triple-lens camera setup, just like the company’s latest lines of smartphones, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

The Japanese outlet’s claims have been supported by reliable tech tipster Sonny Dickson, who recently shared an alleged prototype image of the upcoming new tablet. Also, the iPad Pro hasn't seen any update in almost a year and that would make sense for the tech company to release a new tablet. In addition, Apple is looking for some big opportunity this coming Christmas holiday, a time where consumers are on buying spree.

But, the most interesting rumors came from renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The Apple analyst, recently, posted some interesting predictions about the rumored new iPad Pro. In his post, he insisted that the new device might feature a rear-facing 3D sensor technology that could help the device offer a better Augmented reality experience. Additionally, the analyst also said that the new iPad Pro might also come with a new laser-powered 3D camera. Kuo even predicted that the new device might arrive in 2019.

New MacBook with scissor-switch keyboard

Along with the tablet rumors, there are also plenty of speculations and rumors about the company’s flagship MacBook lineup. The company has been said to be working on a bigger 16-inch portable computer with a scissor-switch keyboard. The alleged bigger laptop might also arrive with Face ID technology to help unlock the device by simply glancing on its and to provide some smart on the new device.

The tech giant announced its next-generation desktop machine at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June. The company will surely want to highlight its powerful specs before the big launch and initial market release. Also, the company has already confirmed the new Mac Pro will debut this fall. So, it still possible it could make some additional more detailed discussion about the new device, possibly during the October hardware event.

The new AirPods 3

Another product that could also be unveiled in the upcoming October event is the upcoming Apple AirPods 3. We already heard many stories and news about the company’s ongoing effort for a refreshed AirPods design. The rumors about the new AirPods 3 has been around for a while but the recently uncovered data inside the latest iOS 13.2 developer beta has finally confirmed that the company is working on a new pair of wireless earbuds there are also some fresh data found inside the iOS 13 OS that suggest that the new AirPods will get some sort of noise-cancelation feature.

Ming-Chi Kuo’s latest updates on Apple’s new products

Ming-Chi Kuo is a world-famous Apple analyst at TF International Securities. Kuo gathers tons of data from his army of reliable sources in Apple’s vast Asian supply chain (mostly located in China) and, then, translates that vast information into research notes for business clients. Kuo’s research often provides a solid look at Apple’s future plans and new products and while Kuo is not always correct on specs, his predictions on future Apple products are accurate enough to make him one of the most reliable sources for Apple new products.

This month, the Apple analyst said that the company is working on a new iPhone SE 2, a new MacBook, a new iPad Pro with a 3D sensor for better AR support and the rumored AR headset. He even predicted the potential release windows for those new devices will be in the first half of 2020.
