Apple would present a MacBook Pro with a screen around 16″ or 16.5″ this year. This is mentioned by Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst who has made accurate predictions about the line-up of Apple products more often in recent years.

It is a MacBook Pro with a larger screen than the current 15″ model and a new design, according to Kuo according to 9to5Mac. Other details about the device are not yet available. Apple is now making MacBook Pros with screen sizes of 13.3″ and 15.4″, while there is also a 12″ MacBook in a lower price range.

In addition, Apple would return to the market for monitors with its own 31″ display with 6k3 resolution. Current iMacs have screens of 27″ and 21″ and the maximum resolution is 5k. Apple has been selling its Thunderbolt display since 2011, but stopped in 2016. Since then, Apple has only had an UltraFine display from LG in the range of its stores. In addition to the new MacBook Pro and monitor, there will also be a new Mac Pro, according to Kuo, but Apple itself said so in April last year.

Kuo also mentions the arrival of the next iPod touch with a new processor, Apple Watch with ECG function for more countries and AirPods with support for wireless charging. In the field of iPhones, according to Kuo, not much will change. The design, screen size and notch of the upcoming iPhones will remain the same as the current generation, the analyst estimates. According to him, the Lightning port also remains on the phone.

However, there are improvements in the field of Face ID with a more powerful dot projector, a third camera on the back, reverse wireless charging to charge AirPods on the phone and ultra wideband support for indoor positioning, among other things.
