<\/div>\n

In a note to investors about Apple’s alleged removal of power adapters from the box of the iPhone 12<\/a>, TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has doubled down on claims two new iPad models are on the way, but crucially will include new 20-watt chargers. <\/p>\n

\n

In May, Ming-Chi Kuo<\/a> offered a prediction that two new iPad models<\/a> will be shipping in the next year, starting with a 10.8-inch iPad arriving in the second half of 2020. It will apparently be followed by a new iPad mini<\/a> in the first half of 2021, with the May report suggesting a screen size upgrade to between 8.5 inches and 9 inches. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A new note to investors seen by AppleInsider<\/em> reiterates those claims, further cementing Kuo’s belief on the scheduling and sizes of the models. Furthermore, Kuo has narrowed down the size of the smaller, later model to an 8.5-inch display. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kuo’s comments are made amid other supply chain rumblings in June about iPads, including one report that latches on to the late-2020 scheduling<\/a> for the 10.8-inch iPad and a new iPad mini. Another at the start of the month pointed to a change in the 10.8-inch replacement for the iPad Air<\/a> that switches from Lightning<\/a> to a USB-C connector, similar to the iPad Pro range. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The claims are made as part of a general conversation about what Apple could remove from the boxes of its most important products. According to Kuo, Apple will include a new 20-watt power adapter<\/a> in the new iPad models, with the adapter said to be entering mass production in Q3 2020. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Existing 5-watt and 18-watt adapters will supposedly cease production in 2020, while the current 12-watt variant will end production “in 9-12 months.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As for what products will have chargers, Kuo expects the existing iPad lineup will continue to include in-box 12-watt power adapters until their end-of-life. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For the iPhone 12, Kuo reiterates a claim made in May that it will ship without EarPods<\/a>, which will help boost sales of AirPods<\/a>. At the same time, Apple is tipped to eliminate the in-box power adapter for the iPhone 12, as a cost-saving measure. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is also unlikely Apple will replace the charger with a form of wireless charging system in the box, but Kuo reckons it will still help benefit wireless charger shipments in general, despite the power-transfer system still not being a “must-have” feature for consumers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
