Apple redesigned the mini to use the higher performing 65W desktop class CPUs. There’s really not much point to dropping back to the 45W parts that the 16” uses; better to wait for the 10th gen 65W parts.Any processor that goes in a MBP is eligible for a Mac Mini. The 9th gen core in the 16” MBP would work fine, and the updated Iris graphics would be welcomed as well.
mini-LED is rumored for the 12.9” iPad, not sure about the 11”.I keep waiting for the oled or mini-led iPads.
Watching a movie in the dark with captions on makes the black levels go all over the place. So distracting. 😭😩

I don’t know what’s up with Kuo and his iPad Pro predictions. In November he said 1H2020, in December he said 3Q2020 with A14X and mini-LED; now he’s back to 1H2020 but he left us hanging out to dry on specs. He’s all over the place 🤷♂️I'm not sure if that will be for the up-coming model (probably at an event in March). Maybe Apple are working on mini-LED for future iPad's. Ming-Chi Kuo hasn't mentioned that in yesterdays report, he just said an iPad Pro update, most rumours are saying the iPad Pro will get a new camera system and a spec bump.
I can definitely see Apple holding a March event for the following:
iPad Pro - spec bump and new camera system
iPhone SE update
13" MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with updated keys like the 16"
Apple branded headphones (which i think have the potential to be great, after all Apple's audio department are killing it just lately)
That would more than be enough for an event. Throw in some Apple TV+ mentions about new shows and Tim's usually talk and it would be enough.

Yes, the tags are so welcome. Tiles are too large and fragile for my wallet - swiped twice in two years. Bring them on.
Which one?Time to justify that big price hike.
I'm not really sure, butIt would be a killer feature to have mini-LED technology on the new iPad Pro's, otherwise it sounds like it's going to be a small update (which is fine after the big redesign in October 2018).
Which one?

I'm not really sure, but
- A whole new camera array
- A new ToF sensor
- An all-new A13X chip with more power
- More battery life (see 2019 iPhones)
do not sound like a small update to me.
Don't you crush my dreams like that... I believe!well it's not mentioned, so . . .
the camera is nice on the iPhone 11 Pro Max, I love it and use it to take photos all the time, however I wouldn't use any iPad for such a thing. ToF might be interesting depending on what it's able to do and how it's going to work.
A new A13X chip sounds great, however the current chip in the 2018 iPad Pro's is already a beast I'm not sure there are even apps out there that take advantage of the power.
More battery life would be great, I love the battery life on my iPhone 11 Pro Max, it easily gets me through my working day.
While these all sound great, I'm not so sure all these will happen in time for a March event. There was rumour of mini-LED but that seems to have died down as of late. I guess we will find out if there is a March event.
The "feature" that I am waiting for is the price drops for the 2018 models![]()
I am eagerly waiting for:
- Redesigned iMac, it is just dated now.
- AirTags, I would buy a dozen.
- Apple TV 5, not sure what I want here.
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.
…or lower test requirements for components to shorten qualification processes and launch new products in 2H20 on schedule…"
Powerbeat 4high-end headphones? so... airpods pro lux?..
and small charging mat?.. airpower lite?
They did ship updated 2019 models - not entirely forgotten. The design is classic - shave the bezels and chin and add a few ports and it’s good to go.It feels like Apple have forgot about the iMac, they seem to be more focused on the MacBook Pro’s. To be fair tho they did release a new redesigned Mac Pro and Pro display, so I guess there is some hope for an iMac redesign.
Doubt that very much since the UI leaked and it's clearly for personal items."UWB Tags" might refer to tracking beacons for retail & venues etc rather than a Tile-type "find my keys" device.
