Just like last year, Apple is expected to launch three new iPhones, replacing iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. Apple is likely to call m iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Rumor has it that Pro variants will support Apple Pencil - a first for any iPhone.
iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max will pack new hardware - Apple’s new A13 chip to be precise. All three new models will likely have same screen size and resolution as outgoing models – with iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max retaining OLED panels, while iPhone 11 will still pack LCD. Apple may be looking to change haptics this time round with a new taptic engine. Chances are this could bring some changes to Apple’s haptic touch.

Lightning is expected to stay put for charging, data syncing and audio out, although rumor has it that Apple may be looking to bring a reverse wireless charging feature – taking a p from Samsung’s book – so users will be able to charge supported devices like AirPods through it.
Apple Watch Series 5

We still do t kw when Apple Arce and Apple TV+ will officially be available though. We don’t kw anything about ir pricing eir. This could change later today.
Apple TV update
Apple TV may (finally) get an update this year with a faster A12 processor, given that Apple is really touting Apple Arce as a cross-platform service. t to mention, Apple TV+ is also just around corner.

While A2068 is said to be an entry-level iP, A2198 will reportedly be a successor to flagship iP Pro – an iP that Apple likes to market as a thorough laptop replacement. Chances are A2068 model may be successor to sixth generation base iP.
