After the fall event in September, a new round of predictions for new Apple products is coming.

Review this year, Apple restarted the iPad Mini and Air product line updates, and also released a new iPhone for three photos, and vigorously promoted service projects. The most important thing is the AirPods Pro released last month. After this product, Apple’s own headset product line finally entered the “noise reduction era.”

After less than 60 days from the end of 2019, there was a lot of news about Apple’s future new products, including the new MacBook Pro, the new iPad Pro and Apple AR, which came out three years later. glasses.

16-inch, professionally positioned MacBook Pro (expected release: 2019)

Although the news of this product was circulated on the Internet two months ago, with the increasing number of news, this product seems to be on the line and ready to go.

As of November 12th, the web message for the 16-inch MacBook Pro is summarized as follows:

• Locate professional production tools, similar to iMac Pro
• The screen is larger and the border is narrower
• The keyboard is designed with scissors feet instead of butterfly design
• Using Intel’s new processor, new graphics card
• Join the U1 chip for AirDrop transfer

In general, the 16-inch MacBook Pro’s screen expands from 15 inches to 16 inches, but from the current network exposure renderings, it should be similar in size to the 15-inch model, just because of the B-screen portion. The border is narrower, so the screen area can be expanded without increasing the volume.

However, the most important change to the new MacBook Pro compared to the screen is the keyboard returning from the butterfly to the scissor foot design. Although the butterfly keyboard can bring the ultimate slim body to the MacBook family, the problem of easy entry and damage is also a criticism of the MacBook keyboard after 2015.

So Apple may re-use the scissor-foot design on this new product to improve keyboard reliability.

From the current network exposure news, the new MacBook Pro will be targeted at the professional user base, which is a professional product line of iMac Pro and Mac Pro, so both the configuration and the price will be the highest in the series. Starting at 2-3 million.

Apple Watch with fingerprint recognition (expected launch: 2020)

Foreign Media PatentlyApple recently exposed a patent filed by Apple in the second quarter of 2018.Apple may embed a communication antenna and fingerprint recognition sensor in the Apple Watch.

At present, Apple Watch uses a password to authenticate the user. Users need to enter a 4-digit password on the watch screen when unlocking or making a payment.

After joining the fingerprint sensor, the user simply presses the fingerprint on the screen to complete the verification.

From the hardware point of view, it is not impossible for Apple to add screen fingerprints to the watch. After all, password verification has been used with Apple Watch for 5 generations, and the OLED screen of the watch also provides a relatively ideal hardware foundation for the fingerprint module.

In addition, Apple has a tendency to gradually change the watch. It is also a way to make the watch experience closer to the current mobile phone interaction by providing a faster verification method to improve the recognition experience.

From the pace of the Apple Watch product line update, we may be able to use this new feature in next-generation watches.

iPad Pro and glasses for AR / VR (expected launch: 2020-2023)

Since the release of the first generation of iPad Pro, Apple has been making the Pro series products a productivity tool for users with hardware and software.

And now, Apple seems to want the iPad Pro series to take on the task of running AR and VR devices.

The Information was recently released release A report about Apple AR and VR new products. Informed sources revealed to The Information that Apple is developing a series of new 3D sensing systems designed to provide a hardware foundation for subsequent AR augmented reality functions.

Informed sources said that Apple will launch the iPad Pro with a new sensor module in the first half of 2020. The iPad Pro has three cameras, one of which is a 3D inspection sensor for scanning 3D indoor environments, objects and character.

In addition, people familiar with the matter also revealed that the new sensor will be used in addition to the new iPad Pro.Will be used with the 5G baseband in the new generation of iPhone. In Guo Mingxi’s new iPhone forecast report, we also got the same statement.

In other words, next year’s new iPhone will continue to retain the three-photo aperture configuration.

In the more in-depth part of the interview, people familiar with the matter said that Apple is planning to launch a head-mounted display (internal code N301) that combines AR and VR functions in 2021 or 2022, which is the new iPad Pro. Debuted in 1-2 years.

Function, this headshow combines entertainment and office functions. Users can watch videos and play games with their heads. Of course, they can also be used to open video conferences based on AR technology.

If used in the field of teaching, this head may be used as a virtual classroom tool for students.
