Apple used to treat each advertisement that is oriented towards the public as an event. Even his Keynotes – ostensibly for investors and the press – were well orchestrated circuses. If there is a conclusion to be drawn from the number of new products from new products IPhone 16 series was presented six months ago, the time to hang on to each Apple word has passed.
A part can be repressed to the new preference of the company for recorded and highly published video presentations rather than live broadcasts. A game could also have to do with the fact that Since Apple started making the fleas Who feed its smartphones, tablets and computers, most of the “new” things it introduce cost specification bumps. Apple has managed to announce eight new products from the iPhone 16, new if you have a new chip that has made its debut in one of the company’s updated office computers. Here is an overview of all this new equipment, from the most recent versions of Apple to the new computers it closed in 2024.
M4 MacBook Air
THE MacBook Air is one of Apple’s most popular laptops, so it is natural that he has the last M4 chip. Fortunately, this additional power did not come to the price of a more expensive computer. A 13 -inch MacBook Air is now starting at $ 999, the 15 -inch model being at $ 1,199, down compared to the $ 1,099 that you had to pay to get an M3 MacBook Air. The new laptops are also delivered with an improved 12 MP central webcam and a new metal color option nicknamed “Sky Blue” from Apple. It is not the most exciting announcement, but a new laptop which is twice as powerful as Apple M1 computers at a lower price is welcome.
Mac Studio
Apple update to Mac StudioAnnounced alongside the MacBook Air, is even more a pure specification bump. No cosmetic modification has been made to the studio: the short and robust computer always has USB ports and an SD card reader at the front, with even more I / O options available at the rear. What is different are the chips that feed the Mac studio inside. Apple offers an M4 Max with a processor of 16 cores and a 40 -core GPU or a new Ultra M3 chip, which gives the studio enough room for maneuver to manage most of the creative professional workloads. With the M4 Max, you can get up to 128 GB of unified memory, but if you opt for the M3 Ultra, it can go up to 512 GB. However, all this power will cost you. The Mac studio with the M4 Max starts at $ 1,999, while the M3 Ultra version starts at $ 3,999.
M3 Ultra
The M3 Ultra is the really new part of the Mac Studio update. The late arrival chip fulfills the first place in the Apple M3 range, with a 32 core processor (24 of which are performance hearts), up to a GPU with 80 cores and a 32 core neural engine. Apple claims that the M3 Ultra is more than twice as powerful than the M1 Ultra, probably because it is technically of two MAX M3 chips connected with the “ultrafusion” architecture of the company. The new chip also supports Thunderbolt 5 for faster and specific connectivity with up to 512 GB of unified memory. Currently, the M3 Ultra is only available on the Mac studio, which strangely leaves the Mac Pro out of the loop. Apple’s most expensive Mac may be updated, or maybe there is an even more powerful chip in the wings.
M3 iPad Air
The same week that Apple updated the MacBook Air and the Mac Studio, it also changed the iPad AirGiving the 11 or 13 inch tablet a new M3 chip, and an updated version of the magic keyboard with a slightly larger function line and trackpad. The iPad Air was already capable of Apple Intelligence and a lot quickly with The M2 chip he received in 2024So Apple’s announcement mainly competitive, unless you are interested in tracing the shelves, which is certainly offered in certain console games that have been worn on the iPad. The new iPad Air starts at $ 599, while the new magic keyboard begins at $ 260, and strangely comes only in white.
ipad
Apple changes to entry -level iPad are even smaller. It has been improved from an A14 bionic chip to an A16, which means that the tablet is faster, but still not capable of Apple’s intelligence. The new tablet also starts with a larger amount of storage. Rather than the frankly lamentable 64 GB apple that offered at the bottom of the range, you cannot now get an iPad without at least 128 GB of storage. It is not bad, even for the slightly expensive starting price of $ 349 from Apple. However, in addition to acting as the essential option for families looking to buy a tablet for their children or their grandparents, Apple’s basic iPad seems to be a way to drive people to a more expensive option.
iPhone 16th
The wait for a replacement of the iPhone 2022 was long, and in the end, the direction that Apple wants to take the idea is a bit unexpected. The company began the year by transforming the SE into iPhone 16thA new low -end for the company’s range of smartphones. The iPhone 16th is a strange mixture of old and new iphones. It has the A18 chip, which means that it can manage the little intelligence of Apple which currently has to offer, it looks like an iPhone 14, but with a singular camera. And for any reason He has no Magsafe. For $ 549, the iPhone 16th Does not feel exactly like an agreementBut is cheaper, and more important, interesting, like the first of Apple phones to present its personalized C1 Modem C1.
M4 Mac Mini
Small computers are always pleasures of the crowd and even more compact M4 Mac Mini Apple released at the end of 2024 is no different. The Mac Mini update looks much more like a large Apple TV than the flat shape of the DVD player of the older models of Apple and it also has frontal ports. For as little as $ 599, the Mac Mini gives you access to the last M4 chip and up to 64 GB of unified memory, a Small fairly powerful machine. With the possibility of placing in a pro M4, it can even be your battle horse. The Mac Mini represents the other side of the recent Apple accent on specifications. A 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.
Imac M4
Imac Go to M4 was much less overhaul than the Mac Mini. Apple has changed some of the color options, added a 12MP webcam and introduced an optional nano-texture finish on the screen, but it is also the same old all-in-one computer. Curiously, the largest news in the refreshment of the iMac could have been its accessories. After going to USB-C ports on essentially all its devices, Apple finally got rid of the lightning port on the magic mouse and the magic keyboard. The mouse always invoices upside down, but at least you can use the same cable for everything. Maybe it’s representative of the new iMac as a whole: He has the same quirks, but it is certainly better than before.
M4 MacBook Pro
THE M4 MacBook Pros were published shortly after Apple introduced the iPhone 16 and the new laptops were mainly a vehicle for the introduction of the M4 chip family as a whole. Apple has not really changed the design of the MacBook ProI just gave him more RAM, more Thunderbolt ports and a slightly brighter screen. The MacBook Pro is available in 14 inch and 16 inch varieties, with a M4, M4 Pro or M4 Max chip. The cheaper side of things, the M4 chip has a CPU with 10 hearts and an 8 -core GPU, while the high -end M4 max has a CPU with 16 cores and a GPU with 40 cores. The M4 MacBook Pros have launched the wave in cascade of specification bumps introduced by Apple in recent months, as well as the focusing of the company’s AI: the M4 chip has an NPU or a larger neural engine to finish AI tasks, whatever the version you get.
