Apple Watch Series 5 is already available in titanium and ceramic finishes, in addition to aluminium or stainless steel. It comes in silver, gold, and space gray variants. The new Watch Series 5 (PRODUCT) RED is speculated to launch in March 2020 along side the successor to iPhone SE and Apple’s new iPad Pro.

Apple iPhone SE successor or iPhone 9 as some are calling it will support 3D sensing capabilities on the rear camera, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo with TF International Securities. It is said to come with a 4.7-inch display, Touch ID, newer A13 chipset and 3GB RAM. The design is expected to be similar to the iPhone 8.

As for the 2020 iPad Pro, it could come with two rear cameras and a 3D system that will be more advanced than FaceID on the front. The device is said to support the next-generation of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) experiences.
