The company is expected to follow the same technique this year as well. Apple might launch the new iMac desktop which is expected to carry T2 coprocessor and AMD Navi GPU.

The company will also be announcing the next-generation watchOS 7 for Apple Watch. More details or announcements will be made at the WWDC 2020 event.
