The new slim iMac and iPad Pro are the highlights! Apple’s spring release event, “SpringLoaded,” took place at 1 am Hong Kong time at the Apple Park in the US last night, bringing a total of 9 new products, including iMac, iPad Pro, and new colors for the iPhone 12.
First, let’s briefly introduce the iPhone. There are no new models or sizes, but Apple is bringing a new color – purple – to the iPhone 12/iPhone 12 mini, with the same specifications as the originally offered 5 colors. The new color will be available for pre-order on Apple.com this Friday at 8pm, and officially on sale on April 30th.
As for the key new products, the two new products equipped with the top-notch M1 chip are the iMac “Color Series” and the all-new iPad Pro. The 24″ iMac, with a slim body of only 11.5mm, features a 4.5K Retina display and introduces seven color options for the first time: blue, green, pink, yellow, orange, purple, and silver. Its 8-core M1 chip improves CPU and GPU performance by 85% and 2 times respectively compared to the previous generation, ensuring smooth processing for graphics and 4K/8K video editing. As for the iPad Pro, it also comes with the M1 chip, offering at least 40% faster overall performance than the previous generation, along with a 12.9″ Liquid Retina XDR display, a new ultra-wide front camera, 5G support, and storage capacity of up to 2TB.
It is worth noting the latest AirTag accessory that has been released. A personal item safety tracker that, when paired with Bluetooth and the “Find My App,” can track different important belongings, including various Apple products, keys, jackets, and more. When the AirTag and the paired item enter a specified range, users can use the phone to activate the sound function to locate the item. Surprisingly, Hermès has already introduced keychains, handbag charms, and luggage tags designed for the AirTag, making it seem like the AirTag could become another fashionable tech accessory.
