Kuo: Apple to Unveil AirTags, Augmented Reality Device, and More in 2021

Air Tags late to the party however if they are thin they’ll be a winner
M1 Macs... bring them on.
AR device or glasses this is something that remains to be seen if it can prove its usefulness
I’m hopeful it can
GaN chargers I would rather see a faster charger than a 35% smaller charger. Besides Belkin and Anker already have these

Faster chargers are bad for batteries. They’re fast enough (as long as they’re wired).
The AR device is going to be Apple’s next big hit and it’s mentioned like a secondary thing to AirTags or MiniLED...
By the way, at this point maybe you ignore who says each rumor when you read, but there are good and bad leakers. Kuo is clearly in the first group. He obviously makes errors, but it’s usually because of delays or similar, not the kind of “iPad is going to have macOS” ones.
No seriously. It’s going to be three devices in one.
A item tracker (via AR).
A fitness enhancer (tracking reps and other things)
A point tracker for AR. (Think HTC vive)
It would be cool if this tech were integrated into items instead of just being a tag. I would buy a key fob and wallet that had Apple Tag technology built into the product so it can't be removed.
Listen! I am 100% sick and tired of hearing about these AirTags. TBH it’s making me not want to check the site daily anymore.
Just like all those articles for two ******* years about the AirPower mat. MR talked about it for two years and it was never even released. Please stop talking about these things.

Not really. He constantly makes claims about Apple products and then revises those claims with excuses when things don't pan out. I'd trust a carnival barker over Kuo
A use case for the Magsafe Wallet accessory. If it falls off your phone, you can find it with built-in Airtags. (Although I would prefer a stronger magnet myself.)
- Take a picture of the device you want to tag. Better yet, with the iPhone 12 Pro or 2020 iPad Pro, made a 3D image with the LiDAR camera.
- Attach Airtags to the device
- If you lose your device, use your iPhone with UWB and/or Bluetooth in the Find My app to locate it with AR to get a better idea of the location.
I tend to think 2021 will be the year of the M macs, with mostly iterations on everything else.
The airtags arent exactly a major product, and can't see the AR headset launching this year either [but is something I will be first in line for and dont care about being a beta tester, as is core to my business]
Bring on the following macs though [in order of priority] :
14"M MBP for lightweight pro mobile work
Mini Mac Pro [mid size desktop will do me with 2 PCIE 4 slots]. price and spec dependent. 2022 most likely
24" Imac for WFH - photography + music [the 14"M may be able to do everything I need and will review when I get it]
