The year 2021 could be particularly busy with new Apple products. In addition to the traditional upgrades of iPhone, iPad, Mac and MacBook, Apple Watch or AirPods, Apple could lift the veil on brand new products or introduce new technologies to these pre-existing product lines.
Mini-LED panels
2021 could be the year chosen by Apple to introduce its first devices incorporating mini-LED technology. In any case, this is what the rumor has been saying for several months. Apple would have chosen the iPad Pro to be the first to adopt this technology. The latter could be unveiled during the first semester of 2021. Mini-LEDs are also slated to hit MacBooks later this year.
How is this technology innovative? First of all, thanks to the small size of the LEDs, manufacturers can integrate more of them on an LCD panel, which makes it possible to give more nuances in the contrasts and brightness. This display technology also offers better backlighting and consumes less power, which is not negligible on portable products.
An object tracker, the AirTag
The Cupertino company could finally decide to unveil the AirTag in 2021. This small round accessory makes it easy to locate the object on which it is hung thanks to a Bluetooth signal transmitted by the AirTag and received by the other products Apple so that its location can be traced back to its owner.
It has now been over a year since clues about it appear regularly on the web or in Apple’s source codes, so this year could be the right one for its presentation.
A device dedicated to augmented reality
Apple has been interested in augmented reality for several years, an interest that could materialize in a dedicated product. It is about connected glasses able to increase reality with various information which would appear on its glasses.
A recent report by specialist analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Apple could unveil a first model of Apple Glass sometime this year, although it’s not entirely clear that this is actually of this product. The tech company should organize a special event to explain the whole point of its product. It remains to be seen when this will take place … If so.
An iPhone SE Plus
Apple could enrich its range of smartphones by offering a Plus version of iPhone SE, his affordable smartphone. Rumor has it that Apple has been working for a while now on an XL version of this phone which would be larger above all.
If this version does not imply a revision of the affordable model presented last April, the iPhone SE Plus would still be a small revolution for Apple. This would prove that the American firm wishes to diversify its offer and above all to engage more in the mid-range market.
AirPods Pro Lite
Apple could confirm its desire to target a larger audience by unveiling a lean version of the AirPods Pro, its high-end wireless headphones. This Lite version of the AirPods Pro would replace the standard models of wireless headphones, but would still benefit from some of the features of the high-end version. The AirPods Pro Lite could thus have in-ear tips that allow you to make the most of your audio track and offer better support.
In addition to these announcements and revisions of its flagship products, Apple could also unveil the redesign of the Apple TV box. Only the future will tell us. Let us take our pain patiently.
