Kuo: Apple to Launch AirTags, Small Charging Mat, New iPads and Macs, High-End Headphones, and More in First Half of 2020

[Text Uaua]

oh my god, enough with the ipads already!

 

[Zadigre]

hopefully "tags" will works with older iPhones that do not have UWB even if they are limited in features.

I thought I saw woot selling refurbish 12.9" ipad pros a week or so ago... did anyone else, or was I imagining it? That makes sense if new ipads are indeed coming out in March...

 

[NightFox]

Still we wait.... Tag, disc, whatever... Take my money already... !

hopefully "tags" will works with older iPhones that do not have UWB even if they are limited in features.

"UWB Tags" might refer to tracking beacons for retail & venues etc rather than a Tile-type "find my keys" device.

previous rumors suggest that a 13-inch MacBook Pro with a scissor switch-based Magic Keyboard will launch in the first half of 2020

This is my jam. My rMPB is growing long in the tooth, but I really disliked the feel of the butterfly keyboard mech, stuck keys notwithstanding. I’m also actually like the TouchBar, especially now that there’ll be a physical Esc key.

 

[rmoliv]

"High-end" headphones retail price: $999.

 

[incoherent_1]

If the headphones have Noise Cancellation and are good competitors to the QC35s, I’m all over them. I’ve been a QC user for over a decade, numerous pairs, and I can’t stand the current offering.

 

[Dave245]

iMacs, iMacs!! Please!

I’m hoping that if they announce/release new MacBook Pro’s and Airs, that there will be an October event for a iMac redesign.

 

[MauiPa]

high-end headphones? so... airpods pro lux?..

and small charging mat?.. airpower lite?

headphones, not earphones, duh! Over the ear cans has been rumored for so many years now, my hair turned grey. Well that's not fair, it turned grey anyway

 

[subjonas]

I’d be interested in some high end lossless airplay over ear headphones, not Bluetooth.

 

[MauiPa]

Drop the price down to $499 on the Mac mini! We all know they can do it, the i3 is cheap enough.

its the high cost of RAM and SSD's that keeps the price up. yah, that doesn't make sense

 

[Freida]

I would love the AppleCard but its unavailable in Canada

Can I interest you in an AppleCard in these trying times?

 

[gsmornot]

Missing from the list is AirPort Extreme with WiFi6. Still holding out hope they will return to WiFi again.

 

[bchery21]

Interested to see these high-end headphones and how they affect Beats offerings, if at all.

 

[Bin Cook]

“Lower test requirements” - no thanks

Actually, I think the Apple tags have the potential to be a huge product. I’ve been following those rumors for quite some time, and I’m hoping this is accurate that they would launch late here in the first quarter. I’m totally on board with this, and I think a lot of consumers will be given what they will execute.

 

[Puppuccino]

It's actually a guy named Matthew that just goes around and plugs in your devices for you. They call him Charging Matt for short.

The best thing is that he doesn’t even care if it has USB-C or not! Double win!!

 

[lazyrighteye]

I’m ready for the AirPod Pro Pros.

AirPod Pro Max+.

 

[xgman]

New iMac design, please. I'm this close to just calling it a day and buying a 27" current-gen iMac (MRR12LL/A).

well it's not mentioned, so . . .

 

[Laton]

iMac Redesign for sure.

I bought my previous 2011, just before the last design change.

And since my good old iMac died just last year and I couldn't wait anymore, I'm pretty sure it's now time for a new iMac design. 😆

 

[latts]

Hopefully a refresh to the Apple TV 4K

 

[DEMinSoCAL]

Is it possible for the tags to alert on the iPhone when a "tagged" item is out of range of the iPhone? Instead of using it to find a lost item, I'd like to be notified when I am separated from a tagged item so I know that I may have left it behind? Many times I've left a backpack or such at a clients and don't realize until I get home. It'd be nice to be alerted before I drive away.

 

[jimbobb24]

"The existing PowerBeats 3 are not considered high end" but cost $199! Crazy tech these days.

I am waiting for the iPad Pro release. I am ready.

 

[DailySlow]

Yes, the tags are so welcome. Tiles are too large and fragile for my wallet - swiped twice in two years. Bring them on.

right there, where it said wireless and bluetooth.

Could still be over ear and wireless. Thus, not necessarily AirPods of any kind. 3 different AirPods would seem a little overkill.
