With 2019 in the rearview mirror, we decided to look back at everything Apple released during 2019 and put together a list of 10 of our favorite Mac, iPhone, and iPad apps of the year.

Apple Predicted to Launch Two ‘iPhone SE 2’ Models in 2020<\/h2>\n

![\"\"](\"https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2020\/01\/iphone_8_8_plus-800x863.png\")
The report said one of the iPhones may be an LCD-based 5.5-inch or 6.1-inch model.

This rumor lines up with a recent prediction from noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said that Apple plans to release a so-called “iPhone SE 2 Plus” with a nearly edge-to-edge design, a smaller notch, and a Touch ID power button on the side of the device in late 2020 or early 2021. <\/p>\n
It’s unclear if Apple will actually use “iPhone SE 2” branding or if that is simply a placeholder name for the unreleased devices. It has been speculated that the devices could also be branded “iPhone 9.” <\/p>\n
Sketchy Rumor Claims Apple Plans to Announce High-End Gaming MacBook or iMac at WWDC 2020<\/h2>\n
Apple plans to announce a high-end gaming computer at its annual WWDC developers conference later this year, according to a questionable and as-of-yet unsubstantiated report from Taiwan’s Economic Daily News<\/em>.<\/p>\n WWDC 2020 will likely take place in June.
<\/p>\n Apple is rumored to be readying updated 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models with triple-lens cameras, and based on new renders from OnLeaks, the design will be similar to the iPhone 11 Pro.<\/p>\n Apple may be planning to widen its Apple Watch Series 5 lineup with a new (PRODUCT)RED model at some point this year, a new rumor suggests. <\/p>\n (PRODUCT)RED supports funding for HIV\/AIDS programs.
<\/p>\n Apple unveiled its \u200cSiri\u200c Remote for the Apple TV in 2015, but it’s never been a particularly popular accessory. With that in mind, Swiss company Salt created an alternative \u200cApple TV\u200c remote, which we managed to get our hands on over on our YouTube channel.<\/p>\n Subscribe to MacRumors on YouTube for new Apple-related videos every week! <\/p>\n Each week, we publish an email newsletter like this highlighting the top Apple stories, making it a great way to get a bite-sized recap of the week hitting all of the major topics we’ve covered and tying together related stories for a big-picture view.<\/p>\n So if you want to have top stories like the above recap delivered to your email inbox each week, subscribe to our newsletter<\/b>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/images.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2019\/12\/imac-and-macbook-pro-side-by-side.png\")
Details are slim, but the report claims that the computer may be a large-screen laptop or all-in-one desktop with a price tag of up to $5,000, suggesting that it could be either a MacBook Pro or an iMac Pro. The computer would supposedly be tailored towards esports, aka competitive video gaming.
