Apple could be releasing a redesigned Apple Watch next year.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that the tech giant will release the next generation of MacBooks and Apple Watches in the second half of next year, 9to5Mac reported on Wednesday. The products will have a redesign, according to Kuo.
There'll be two new versions of the Apple Watch next year, Kuo predicted, with "innovative health management functions and improved form factor design." Meanwhile, next-gen Macs will reportedly have more of an industrial feel.
Kuo also predicts the iPad Air will be given 5G connectivity in 2021, as well as a mini-LED display.
On the other hand, Kuo said he expects the AirPods 3 launch to be delayed from early next year until April or June 2021.
Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
