Apple reportedly plans to release six mini LED products set to be launched in 2020 and 2021 amidst the coronavirus inflicted delay on the majority of the company's suppliers.
Apple is currently working on six mini LED products as stated by Ming Chi-Kuo, Apple analyst through a note released to investors yesterday. Kuo specified that among the six mini LED products that the tech giant is working on are the 7.9-inch iPad mini set to debut this year. The analyst did not yet give any specific season of the year when the said device will be released.
Another big name to watch out for coming along the six mini LED products is the iMac Pro set to debut in the last quarter of 2020. If proven true, this will be the first time that Apple will refresh the said device since its 2017 release.
Reports recently surfaced the internet saying that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, a part of the list of the six mini LED products, will debut after the other iPad Pro models undergo a spring refresh. The Apple analyst specified that the said high-end product will launch in the fall of 2020.
Apple followers can also expect that the last quarter of 2020 will see the 16-inch MacBook Pro with a mini-LED display release. Kuo noted that the 14.1 inch MacBook Pro could also come along the 16-inch version release.
The 27-inch iMac Pro, another part of the six mini LED products that Apple will launch, is expected to come out by the fourth quarter of 2020. The 7.9-inch iPad, 10.2-inch iPad, the 14.1-inch MacBook Pro originally 13.3 inches, the names to complete the list of the six mini LED products could launch at anytime between 2020 and 2021.
Apple's plan to release six mini LED products is set to put a twist on the rumors spreading online that the Cupertino tech giant is struggling to gain production momentum due to the coronavirus outbreak. COVID 19 is affecting the operations of the Cupertino tech giant's major suppliers creating a domino effect on the production of other devices.
A part of Kuo's note clearly said that Apple's product and research development for the six mini LED product remains unaffected of the coronavirus outbreak. The statement also clarified that the tech giant's research and development team are doing their best to even exceed what is expected of them.
