    2020 5G iphone is given. Question is all 3 will get 5G or only 2 ? All 3 iPhones will have OLED or only 2 ? That is important. Now, saying 16" Macbook Pro in 2020 than will it have Intel 10nm chip or same 14++nm ? LPDDR 4, WiFi 6 with 6Ghz band support or just current 24/5Ghz ? Keyboard ? Better to delay 16" MBP release and address/include bit more than just few tweaks. Lot to find out before it's release so people can make informed purchase decision about MBP. In early January at CES, Intel(and others) will show off new 10nm/7nm chips for year 2020 release.

    Services will be the largest segment pretty soon. Let’s imagine at very least 10 million active users  (there are actually close to 1.5 billion active iOS users out there so this is very conservative number) who subscribed Music TV, Arcade,  News or all/any combinations - spending $10-$20 in average per month per account. Apple generates at minimum a revenue of $100-200million per month. Times that to 100, and you will get 10-20 billion potential  revenue per month just from services. That is crazy.

    One more nice feature for the new AirPods is transparency mode. It blends in some of the external sounds so you can be aware of your surroundings or converse with someone without removing the AirPods. 

    This is my first pair. I’m looking forward to using them in place of my Bose Quiet Comforts on the the airplane. The Bose is much bulkier so this will let me pack much lighter.
