Apple virtual event announcement

iPhone 12 gets a new colour

The iPhone 12 has got a new colour that joins with the current Apple lineup. Black, white, green, blue and green are now joined with purple for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini phones. You can order the new colour from 23 April and expect shipping to start on the 30. But thats not all that was revealed for the iPhone. New cases are now available that works well with the MagSafe wireless charging.

Apple iPad Pro

It wasn’t a secret that a new lineup of iPads was in the works. The latest models have the same 8-core M1 chipset that you can find in the lates Macbook Pro and iMac lineups. You can expect a bigger internal storage – up to 2TB – Thunderbolt and USB4 support for the USB-C port – and of course 5G.

Apple iMac

The new iMac has a classic look to it. With its ranges of colours, it gives off a more futuristic style. You can find a 24.3-inch display with a 4.5k retina display. Like the rest of the Mac family, the iMac is also running on the new M1 chip. You’ll find an 8-core M1 processor, 8GM of RAM, 256GB storage but have either 7 or 8 core graphics.

Least I forget a new wireless keyboard with integrated Touch ID.

Apple TV 4K

The latest Apple TV 4K has an A12 Bionic chipset which was previously seen in the iPhone and 2020 iPad ( talk about using old tech). There has been a significant improvement from the older model due to the support for high frame rate video in 60fps. A new remote and new feature that works with your iPhone improves colour settings on your TV just by your Face ID camera. You can start ordering it from the 30 April in either 32GB or 64GB.

Shipping will start in May.

Apple AirTags

The direct competitor to Tile if there ever was one. It allows users to track, locate and find lost items. We knew it was coming, in fact there have been several “leaks” over the years but its great to see its existence and how it will now reshape the “find my item” market. They’re pretty small so they are easy to store away. As you can expect you will be able to use it with your Find My app which is preinstalled into iOS and iPadOS.
