According to Kuo's research note, the new MacBook Pro will be launched between two dimensions 16-inches and 16.5-inches along with some updated design. This will make it the biggest MacBook since the 17-inch MacBook was stopped selling in 2012. Apart from that, the 13-inch MacBook Pro might get the option of expanding the RAM up to 32GB.

As far as iPhones are concerned, this year models are said to retain the same design and screen size just like the iPhone XS and iPhone XR. The upcoming new iPhones will stick to 6.5-inch, 5.8-inch, and 6.1-inch display sizes. The company will include a new feature to the phones called ultra-wideband connectivity for indoor positioning and navigation, new frosted glass finish, bilateral wireless charging or reverse wireless charging similar to Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
The company is also said to improve the Face ID and bring bigger batteries with the 2019 iPhone lineups. The iPhone 11 Max is said to come with a triple rear camera where the other two models will stick to the dual camera setup.
Apart from the iPhones, the company will also come up with new iPads. This time its said the Apple will launch two new iPad Pro models. The existing 9.7-inch iPad might be upgraded to 10.2-inches by reducing the bezels. The company is also expected to upgrade the processor of the iPad.
