Kuo: New 31.6" Apple Display in 2019 and 15-17" MacBook in 2021 to Feature Mini-LED Backlights [Updated]Apple plans to launch a trio of new products with Mini-LED backlights over the next two years, including a 31.6" display in the second or third quarter of 2019, a 10-12"
iPad in late 2020 or early 2021, and a 15-17"
MacBook in the first half of 2021, according to well-known analyst
Ming-Chi Kuo.

An excerpt from Kuo's research note, obtained by MacRumors:
We believe that mini LED, compared to OLED, will be a more suitable solution to offer wide-color gamut (WCG)/high-contrast/high dynamic range (HDR)/local dimming features because of its longer life and no burn-in issues for Apple's medium- and large-size products targeting at productivity positions.
We forecast that Apple will respectively launch an all-new design 31.6-inch monitor, a 10–12 inch <!---->iPad<!----> and a 15–17 inch <!---->MacBook<!----> equipped with a mini LED backlight unit (BLU) in 2–3Q19, 4Q20–1Q21 and 1–2Q21.
Kuo believes that the 31.6-inch display "will target a very high-end position" and feature an "all-new design."
In a previous research note, Kuo predicted that Apple would launch
both a 31.6-inch display and a 16-16.5" MacBook Pro in 2019, so it's not entirely clear if the 15-17" <!---->MacBook<!----> refers to a separate notebook or if Kuo now believes the 16-16.5"
MacBook Pro is coming a few years later than he originally expected.
