Apple might introduce a 16-inch screen variant of the MacBook Pro in September this year, according to a news report in a technology portal The Verge.

"We foresee that Apple will release a new product in September 2019 Apple event if there's no unexpected development issue," said Jeff Lin, Associate Director of Consumer Electronics at IHS Markit, reported The Verge.

The upcoming MacBook Pro is said to feature an LCD panel from LG display with a resolution of 3072 x 1920, which is better than the current high-end model's 15.4-inch 2880x1800 display.

Kuo stated that the company might launch a new iPad with 10-inch or 12-inch screen in late 2020 or early 2021 and a MacBook with 15-inch to 17-inch screen size in the first half of 2021, equipped with mini-LED panels.

Kuo has also previously claimed that two new iPad Pro models will enter mass production between the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.
