(ThyBlackMan.com) Apple will refresh many of its existing products in 2019, but this year, Apple will do something more. The company is likely to introduce a new streaming service, some long-overdue products, and the most powerful Mac ever this year. Here’s a quick look at the things to expect from Apple in 2019.
- New iPhones
Apple iPhone 2019 will be the biggest news at some point this year. In the last two years, the company made so many changes in its iPhones and in 2019 things are going to be the same. Apple will launch three iPhones in the same sizes and design, similar to the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. With the A13 chip on board, these 2019 iPhones could bring some of the most anticipated hardware and features including a triple-lens camera, Apple Pencil support, LCD (standard variant) and OLED display panels with a smaller notch.
The new iPhones will perform faster than their predecessors, but these phones will likely skip 5G, hole punch display, and 3D Touch. While there are some announcements that we can always expect from Apple, it’s surely going to be an interesting year for Apple and Apple fans.
- AirPower
Last year, Apple maintained complete silence on AirPower release date reports, but according to sources, the AirPower wireless charging mat is coming in 2019 and it has already entered production. Apple announced AirPower in 2017 alongside the iPhone X, iPhone 8, and 8 Plus. The company said that the device will be an all-in-one solution for power needs. Last year, the company quietly deleted all the details of the product from its website leading fans to believe that Apple has abandoned plans for AirPower.
If Apple is planning to launch AirPower in 2019, the wireless charging mat will enable simultaneous charging of Apple devices including Apple Watch, iPhones, and AirPods case.
- Streaming Service
Apple is working on more than a dozen TV shows. The company signed many deals in Hollywood in the last two years. Many of these shows feature high-profile actors, producers, and directors. Apple will likely introduce its own TV streaming service alongside these new shows.
The TV app will soon get loaded with content from Apple, but there’s still no information on whether Apple’s streaming service will be different from the Apple TV service or it will be bundled with Apple Music. If it’s happening, Apple’s new service wouldn’t be unveiled in early 2019 as the company will need some content to launch with the new service.
- HomePod 2
With AirPods and over-the-ear headphones, Apple is expected to launch a lower-cost version of its smart speaker HomePod. People are calling it the HomePod 2, but the company hasn’t confirmed the name of the product or the launch date. Apple has been pushing audio devices for a long time and people are waiting for a low-budget alternative. Reports suggested that Apple’s HomePod performed better than Google’s Home Max, but Amazon and Google’s small speakers are still dominating the market.
Apple didn’t give any new details on what features you can expect from the HomePod 2. As a result of the supply chain shakeup, Apple may change its production partner for the HomePod 2.
- Mac Pro
Apple confirmed Mac Pro 2019 last year. The company said that a new Mac Pro will finally come and it will, of course, perform much faster and will be focused on Pro users. According to the Mac team, a lot of customers still want a Mac Pro and it is one of the most important product for the company and its customers.
The Mac Pro hasn’t been refreshed for a considerable amount of time and many customers have been feeling neglected. What we currently know about Apple’s Mac Pro is that the product is being developed with the help of the response and feedback from the in-house team, developers, and professional users.
In 2018, Apple introduced three new iPhones, a new iPad, and new Macs. What do you expect from Apple in 2019?
