There’s a powerful new Mac, a big ass Studio Display screen, a budget smartphone, and an iPhone in green.
Apple hosted its “Peak Performance” live-stream event and revealed a whole host of new products aimed at creators and those living on a budget. There were also some smaller announcements for folks who can’t get enough of their Apple TV+ subscriptions, plus a new highly anticipated phone color for iPhone users. The i Phone SE has been updated to include 5G connectivity, along with the best parts of the iPhone 13’s capable camera system. The iPad Air also got a refresh and a new set of specs, all at a price point that rivals Android’s best mid-range tablets. For Mac users, there’s the new Mac Studio, the ultimate Apple machine built into a relatively small aluminum box and available with the new M1 Ultra chip configuration. The Studio Display pairs nicely with this new Mac, and so does the green iPhone 13 if you haven’t already upgraded. That’s the top-line stuff. But h ere’s a look at everything Apple announced at its event. This might not seem like big news compared to Apple’s flagship iPhone. But the iPhone SE has made it easier for folks to switch from Android, which is why it was one of the first devices that Apple trotted out. The small and mighty iPhone SE 5G is the first from the budget-friendly lineup to feature a 5G antenna. It also has the iPhone 13’s stellar processor and capable camera system. And if you miss smaller, pocketable phones, this 4.7-inch delight, available in three colors, might be more to your liking among all the honkers out there. The iPhone SE 5G starts at $430. If you’re thinking about getting a new tablet, you’re probably considering an iPad. Apple packed the new one with the MacBook’s M1 chip. And while the same processor is already in the iPad Pro, you’ll probably like this one’s price point a little better.
