Rumored new Apple products include 'pro' iPhone
Apple plans to announce new “Pro” products at an event next month, Bloomberg reports.
Apple will present three new “Pro” iPhones, iPad upgrades, and a large 16-inch MacBook Pro.
The “Pro” iPhone models will supersede the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR. According to Bloomberg, the new models won’t have 5G, but next year’s will. They will also have rear-facing 3-D cameras to aid in augmented reality capabilities. The company has released three new iPhones each year since 2017.
The iPadPro will get upgraded cameras and faster chips, while the school-focused iPad will get a larger screen. Apple launched the mid-tier iPad Air and iPad mini earlier this year.
The larger laptop is aimed at retaining and attracting professional consumers with needs for more powerful processors and bigger screens. It would be the first MacBook Pro redesign in three years.
Apple Watch, AirPods and the HomePod speaker are also expected to get updates.
The September launch is aimed at driving holiday-season sales.
