If you were planning to buy the 16-inch MacBook Pro that was rumoured to release later this year, you might have to wait a little longer to get your hands on one as the device as its launch has been delayed until 2021.
Noted Apple analyst Ming Chi Kuo has revised his predictions for the MacBook Pro and the new iPad that he had predicted to launch in 2019. In his revised note, as obtained by MacRumours, Kuo states that Apple is now working on a new 15-inch to 17-inch MacBook Pro and a 10-inch to 12-inch iPad. While the new MacBook Pro will not be released before 2021, the updated iPad could be released anywhere between the final quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021.
Earlier Kuo had predicted that Apple would launch a 16-inch to 16.5-inch MacBook Pro model with a brand new design in 2019. He had also predicted that Apple may add a 32GB RAM option to the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Talking about the iPad, the Apple analyst had said that the Cupertino, California based company could launch a 10.2-inch iPad later this year.
Apart from the delays in some of the most awaited devices - iPad and the MacBook Pro -- the revised note also has some good news for Apple fans. As per Kuo's revised predictions, the launch of the 31.6-inch 6K Apple Display with a Mini LED-like backlight design is still on track and the device is slated to be released anytime between the second and third quarters of the year.
Interestingly, Kuo, while making his predictions about Apple's 2019 lineup had also said that Apple would launch three new iPhones this year that would be direct successors to the 2018 iPhones. He had said that all the three iPhones would sport a Lightning connectors and come with smaller notch areas.
However, a new report by a Japanese blog Macotakara states that Apple would launch two new iPhones with a 6.1-inch and a 6.5-inch screen and that both the iPhones would come with an OLED display and a triple rear camera setup.
