From CNET: April showers might bring May flowers, but before that March brings the Apples. The company's first launch event of 2022 added an updated iPhone SE, the small but powerful Mac Studio, the Mac Studio Display and an upgraded iPad Air to Apple's portfolio.
There were a few short announcements before Apple showed off its products. We learned that Apple TV Plus will add new shows and movies, including MLB Friday Night Baseball with two live games. And the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro will each be available in a new variant of green.
Apple has upgraded the iPhone SE to use the A15 Bionic, the same chip that's in the iPhone 13, as well as 5G. It retains the home button and Touch ID, and has better battery life and an improved camera system thanks to the more powerful computational capabilities offered by the chip. It starts at $429 (£419, AU$719), $30 more than before. Preorders start Friday and it ships on March 18.
The all-new iPad Air is the first upgrade to the Air lineup since 2020, which brings Apple's powerful M1 chip, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera on the front, 5G connectivity and more, all in a similar design to the fourth-gen iPad Air. Pricing for the new iPad Air starts at $599 and preorders start on March 11.
The new Mac Studio is full of venting and a big cooling system, has six Thunderbolt 4 ports and can drive up to four Pro XDR monitors. It'll cost you $1,999 (£1,999, AU$2,499) to start or $3,999 (£3,999, AU$6,099) for the version with Apple's new M1 Ultra chip. You can order it today and it ships starting March 18.
