The year 2020 is coming to its equator, and it will be a year that we will never forget due to the global pandemic situation that we are experiencing, and that already seems to begin to subside. However, it is also being an important year in terms of rumors about Apple devices.
Today we are going to review the 10 most important rumors about Apple that have appeared throughout this year, some are already past, and others are for future devices.
The most prominent rumors about Apple of this 2020
iPad Pro
The first major device Apple introduced this year was the new iPad Pro model, and for months we heard rumors about this new model, and it didn’t take long for Apple to introduce it. Perhaps the rumors weren’t all that important due to the few changes to the new model, although we all knew that the new iPad Pro would incorporate the LiDAR sensor weeks before its launch.
iPhone SE
Another one of those devices rumored for months and that finally arrived a few weeks ago. Regarding the iPhone SE of 2020, everything had been leaked absolutely before, from the design to its price, even its exact date and time of presentation were known.
Blue color in the iPhone range
One of the first rumors about the iPhone 12 that we heard this year was related to a new color. If last year the color green was released in the iPhone range, leaving aside the iPhone 5c, this year we will see a new shade of blue never seen before, called by the filters “Navy Blue”. This color is most likely to replace the current Night Green of the iPhone 12 Pro.
A small iPhone 12
A rumor that many will like, Apple will expand the range of iPhone this year with a new model that will have the same internal specifications, will reduce the number of cameras and will be much smaller and more affordable: 5.4 inches and from $ 649. A kind of iPhone 11 or XR but small, something that no one else has on the market.
LiDAR
2020 is the year of the LiDAR for Apple, first its arrival on the iPad Pro was rumored, and it was fulfilled, and now it is rumored its arrival on the iPhone 12 Pro. This new sensor is capable of detecting the depth of the environment and Apple wants it to be one of the pillars of the new augmented reality applications. On the iPhone 12, this sensor could help portrait mode a lot, as well as being very important for the future of augmented reality.
AirPods Studio
AirPods are constantly improving their sales numbers and Apple wants to expand its offer with new wireless headphones from a higher range. The ‘AirPods Studio’, the name is not yet official, will offer superior sound quality as they will be larger and headband-type, and will also inherit the sound cancellation and transparency features of the AirPods Pro.
AirTags
A rumor that came at the end of 2019 but that is still very present in 2020. This small Apple device will be used in theory to locate objects such as a backpack or a bike from our iPhone. We have heard a lot about these devices and their launch should be throughout 2020.
New home screen in iOS 14
The iPhone home screen has hardly changed since the iPhone launched, however, there are rumors that a major change is coming this year. Apparently, Apple would expand the possibilities of current icons by making them larger and more interactive, it is only a rumor, but the concepts that have appeared make us fall in love.
iPad Air without frames
The iPad range will continue to be renewed this year and Apple will launch new models of both the affordable iPad and the iPad Air, we will see if also the mini. The iPad Air could be the first Apple device to include a Touch ID sensor under the screen if the latest rumors are confirmed. Apparently we would have a design without frames, similar to that of the iPad Pro, but without Face ID and with Touch ID under the screen.
Apple glass
The next great Apple device. We have been talking about Apple glasses for years and this 2020 could finally be the year chosen. A few weeks ago there was the largest leak in history on Apple glasses, with features and price included. In theory, its presentation could be in late 2020, with a launch throughout 2021.
These are the biggest rumors we’ve heard this year related to Apple, many new devices and technologies that we are all looking forward to seeing. Hopefully, they all come true.
