The 2020 Apple iMaybe may well be far-fetched as of the moments but sources have given limited information about it. Apple has been completely secretive about its plan of producing its first ever car, however, it is definitely interesting to see how it is going to be like once released.

Apple is known for its top-of-the-line mobile devices and laptops. The company has been the world's leading provider of smartphones and computing devices, almost making it a necessity to own at least one of its products.

Though back in 2015, rumors have surfaced that Apple is planning to make its first-ever car and by the looks of it, it may actually be a possibility. Three years down the road, the 2020 Apple iMaybe may well hit all the major auto shows the world over. Apple fanatics and supporters are on their toes to see if the company will produce such a vehicle.

According to Car and Driver, Apple's CEO, Tim Cook is keen on exploring new business ventures. With this regard, automated vehicles offer a sturdy platform for mobile connectivity and data harvesting would ensue. Rumors also speculate that in relation to exploring new businesses, Apple may be partnering with BMW to assist in producing its first ever vehicle.

Apple would most likely follow BMW's expertise in terms of composite structures. With this, the 2020 Apple iMaybe could well be like BMW i3. The Apple Car could take its cue from the build and materials used to create their laptops and iPhones. It may include textured metal surfaces and may even have a completely fresh take on driver interface. It is also believed to carry a battery-driven drivetrain and automation will come when it is available and ready.

At present, absolutely no news suggests that there is one on production, even for that of a prototype. Several issues arise and one of which is that Apple has never collaborated with another company before, let alone a car manufacturer.

As added by Auto Styling News, in relation to Car and Driver's report, the 2020 Apple iMaybe may cost well over $30,000 if produced. It is interesting to see the Apple logo in a car. However, tracing back to history, its logo has never been perceived to be in a phone back when it was merely MP3 players and laptops in the early 2000s. having an Apple Car is remotely impossible at this point, but nobody knows. It may actually happen and if it does, it surely may blow everyone's minds off.
