**Apple's 20/20 iPhone Lineup: What to Expect**

According to a recent report from Digit Times, Apple is gearing up to launch an all-OLED lineup of iPhones in 2020. This means that the cheaper 10r model, which is currently LCD, will also be switching to OLED. The report suggests that the new OLED lineup will include different sizes, with options ranging from a 5.4-inch display to a massive 6.7-inch screen. While these larger screens may seem daunting, the total footprint of the phone might not be as big due to smaller bezels and potentially no notch.

The cheapest of the phones is likely to be the smallest, and Samsung is expected to remain Apple's primary OLED screen supplier. This means that prices are unlikely to drop significantly, as OLED screens are currently the most expensive feature on an iPhone. The report also mentions rumors about a foldable model and a 5G-enabled device, but it seems that Apple might be stretched to launch both of these features in 2020 due to issues with Qualcomm.

**The Absence of AirPower: A Cautionary Tale**

Apple's highly anticipated AirPower mat, which was announced alongside the iPhone 10 in 2017, has been delayed indefinitely. The company finally came clean about the reason for the delay, stating that it failed to achieve its high standards due to overheating issues caused by multiple coils required to power the mat. Industry sources have since confirmed this report, suggesting that Apple's inability to solve the problem on time was a major factor in the device's demise.

The news is embarrassing for Apple, but it may serve as a teachable moment for the company. Instead of releasing a hot plate to consumers, Apple could have taken the time to perfect the technology and deliver a fully-fledged product that meets its high standards. The AirPower mat was meant to revolutionize wireless charging, allowing users to charge multiple devices at once without cables or limitations.

**Alternative Wireless Charging Options**

While Apple's AirPower mat is still in development limbo, other companies like Nomad have caught up with the technology. Their $140 wireless charger can charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once, offering a similar experience to AirPower. However, it lacks the seamless integration and flexibility of Apple's device. For those looking for a more affordable alternative, there are also cheaper options available, such as Best Buy's $30 wireless charger.

**New Powerbeats Pro: A Wireless Earring**

Apple has announced an early preview of its new Powerbeats Pro, a truly wireless version of the popular Powerbeats 3 earbuds. The device features Apple's H1 chip, which allows for complete compatibility with iOS devices and the Siri always-on feature found in AirPods. The Powerbeats Pro also boasts a sporty design that stays securely in your ear during activity, thanks to a clip attachment on the back. The sound quality is reportedly better than expected, due in part to the in-ear design, which provides better sound isolation.

The catch with the Powerbeats Pro is that they come with a larger charging case and no wireless charging option. The device will be available for $250, which makes it seem like an expensive alternative to AirPods. However, our editor David Carnot has tested the earbuds out, and he notes that the sound quality is indeed better than expected. If you're willing to spend more for a premium audio experience, the Powerbeats Pro might be worth considering.

your phone sound familiar that's because Samsung just debuted this feature on the new Galaxy S tends to power up the Galaxy watch active and the Galaxy buds the report also suggests that the phones would have a larger battery which would hopefully translate into longer battery life but that might be the biggest headliner for the iPhone 11 lineup because every other rumoured upgrade for 2019 seems pretty minor in comparison according to rumors Apple will stick with the same three phone lineup and the same screen size and LCD display for the cheaper 10 R model another change could include a three camera array on the back of the phone with a super wide angle lens and maybe a second front-facing camera again like the galaxy s 10 plus and a lot of other Android phones for that matter but it's unclear whether these extra cameras would come to all the models of the new iPhone or just the Mac's now less likely changes include a smaller knotch flat edges and a switch to a USB C port like
