Rumors point to 13-inch and 11-inch display sizes with repositioned front-facing cameras that will now lie on the horizontal side of the display.

Apple is also expected to launch a new Apple Pencil with squeeze gesture and a redesigned Magic Keyboard with a sturdier aluminum chassis and larger trackpad.
