All that Apple has announced from its last event
Apple uses to treat any message aimed at public as an event. Even his main notes-a ventilated for investors and the press-have been well organized circuses. If there is any conclusion that is to be made by the pure number of new products that the company starts without any kind of event from The iPhone 16 Series It was introduced six months ago, the time to hang every word on Apple has passed.
Some of them can be arranged to the company’s new preference for recorded, highly edited video presentations, not live shows. Some of them may also be related to the fact that Ever since Apple started making chips This feeds its smartphones, tablets and computers, most of the “new” things it introduces represent specifications of irregularities. Apple managed to announce eight new products after the iPhone 16, nine, if you count a new chip that debuted at one of the company’s updated desktop computers. Here’s a look at all this new hardware, from Apple’s most editions to the new computers it used to close 2024.
M4 MacBook Air
Thehe MacBook Air is one of Apple’s most popular laptops, so it is natural that you have to get the most native M4 chipS Fortunately, this extra power did not come at the price of a more expensive computer. A 13-inch MacBook Air already starts at $ 999, with the 15-inch model coming to $ 1.199, lower than $ 1,099 you used to pay to get the M3 MacBook Air. The new laptops are also available with an improved 12MP central webcam and a new Apple metallic color option called Sky Blue. This is not the most exciting message, but a new laptop that is twice as powerful as Apple’s M1 computers for a lower price is welcome.
Mac Studio
Apple’s update to Mac StudioAnnounced with the MacBook Air is even more than a pure specification. The studio did not make cosmetic changes: the short and stout computer still has a USB ports and reader of SD cards in the front, with even more options for I/O on the back. The various are the chips that feed Mac Studio on the inside. Apple offers either the M4 Max with a 16-core processor, and a 40-core graphics processor, or a new M3 Ultra Chip, which gives the studio enough blur space to handle most professional workloads. With the M4 MAX you can get up to 128 GB of unified memory, but if you choose the M3 Ultra, this can reach 512 GB. However, all this power will cost you. Mac Studio with M4 Max starts at $ 1.999, while the M3 Ultra version starts at $ 3,999.
M3 Ultra
The M3 Ultra is really the new part of the Mac Studio update. The late arrival chip fills the first place in the Apple M3, with a 32-core processor (24 of which are performance nuclei), up to 80-core graphics processor and a 32-sized neural engine. Apple claims that the M3 Ultra is more than twice as powerful as the M1 Ultra, probably because it is technically two M3 Max Chips, connected with the architecture of Ultrafusion. The new chip also supports Thunderbolt 5 for faster connectivity and is determined by up to 512 GB of unified memory. Currently, the M3 Ultra is only available in Mac Studio, which is strangely left by Mac Pro from the outline. Apple’s most expensive Mac may be updated soon or there may be even more powerful chip waiting in the wings.
M3 iPad air
The same week Apple updated MacBook Air and Mac Studio, it also pinched iPad airGiving an 11- or 13-inch new chip M3 and an updated version of the magic keyboard with a functional order and a slightly larger trackpad. IPad air was already capable of Apple Intelligence and very quickly with M2 chips he received in 2024So Apple’s message mainly supports it competitively, unless you are interested in rays tracking, which, of course, is available in some console games that have been carried to the iPad. The new iPad Air starts at $ 599, while the new magic keyboard starts at $ 260 and strangely, it only comes in white.
iPad
The Apple Changes to the iPad at the entry level are even smaller. It is upgraded from A14 Bionic Chip to A16, which means that the tablet is faster, but still not capable of Apple Intelligence. The new tablet also starts with a larger amount of storage. Instead of the frankly dark 64GB Apple used to offer in a low -end, you can now not get an iPad without at least 128GB storage. This is not bad, even for the slightly expensive starting price of Apple of $ 349. Still, in addition to acting as an option for families who want to buy a tablet for their children or grandparents, Apple’s main iPad seems to be a way to bring people to a more expensive option.
iPhone 16E
Waiting to replace the iPhone SE 2022 was long and as it turns out, the direction Apple wants to accept is a little unexpected. The company started the year by turning SE into iPhone 16EA new low class for the company’s smartphone. The iPhone 16e is a strange mix of iPhone, old and new. It has the A18 chip, which means it can handle the small Apple Intelligence, which it can currently offer, looks like an iPhone 14, but with a single camera. And for some reason There is no magsafeS For $ 549, iPhone 16e does not feel just like a dealBut it is more cheaper and more important, interesting, like the first of Apple’s phones to include its personalized C1 modem.
M4 mac mini
Small computers are always multiple and even more compact M4 mac mini Apple, issued at the end of 2024, is no different. The updated Mac Mini looks a lot more like a high Apple TV than the Flat DVD player Shape on the older Apple models and has front ports. For just $ 599, Mac Mini gets you access to the most navy chip on M4 and up to 64 GB of unified memory, a A pretty powerful little machineS With the ability to put on the M4 Pro, this can even be your work horse. Mac Mini represents the other side of Apple’s recent focus on specifications. The new chip is not the most exciting thing in the world, but if it can lead to a radically smaller computer, it is worth it.
M4 iCac
Imac Move to M4 It was far less than a major overhaul than Mac Mini. Apple has changed some of the color options, added a 12MP webcam and introduced an optional nano-tech coverage on the display, but otherwise it’s the same old 24-inch computer with all in one. Funny, bigger news from IMAC Refresh may have been her accessories. After moving to the USB-C ports of basically all its devices, Apple finally gets rid of the Magic Mouse and Magic lightning port. The mouse still loads upside down, but at least you can use the same cable for everything. This is perhaps representative of the new IMAC as a whole: There are the same oddities, but it is definitely better than before.
M4 MacBook Pro
Thehe M4 MacBook Pros They were released shortly after Apple introduced the iPhone 16 and the new laptops were the main means of introducing the M4 family as a whole. Apple Didn’t really change the design of MacBook ProI just gave him more RAM, more Thunderbolt ports and a slightly larger screen. The MacBook Pro is available in both 14-inch and 16-inch varieties, with M4, M4 Pro or M4 Max Chip. The cheaper side of things, the M4 chip has a 10-core processor and an 8-core graphics processor, while the M4 m4 m4 has a 16-core processor and a 40-core graphics processor. The M4 MacBook Pros launches the cascade wave of Bumps specifications introduced in the last few months, as well as the focus of the company of the company: the M4 chip has a larger NPU or neural engine to perform AI tasks, regardless of which version you get.
