Apple Event Summary | Finally, after a long wait, Apple held its September event with the slogan Time Flies. The event was held online and everyone was able to follow it.
The Cupertino-based company unveiled a series of its favorite gadgets at the event. Also, most importantly, at this event we saw the presentation of various options for Apple's shared services.
New Apple Watches
Apple unveiled two new Apple Watch models at the event. One of these models is the Apple Watch 6 Series, Apple's new premium smartwatch that will be available for $ 399. The most attractive new feature of this gadget is that it can analyze the amount of oxygen in the blood in 15 seconds. The event also saw the introduction of a cheaper model called the Apple Watch SE, which will be priced at $ 279 and will have no oxygen sensor. It is worth noting that the new Apple Watches will be available for purchase from Friday. It goes without saying that the Apple Watch 3 Series is still priced at $ 199.
Other new features of these gadgets include the ability to sync with children's Apple Watches (even if they do not have a phone). This allows parents to track their child's location as well as monitor the content their children are watching. Apple also offers a number of new straps with attractive designs and colors that enthusiasts can purchase.
Fitness Plus
Apple also introduced a new shared service called Fitness Plus that can stream professional sports training for users.
Exercises that are streamed in the Fitness Plus service include yoga, cycling, dancing, and you can watch these videos on your iPhone or TV. The data that the Apple Watch collects is also displayed on the screen so that the user can be aware of things like the amount of calories burned and other factors.
Apple says it has used its own experienced trainers for these sports classes, and the number of sessions is increasing every week. The Fitness Plus service will be launched later this year. The monthly subscription fee for this service will be $ 10, and those interested in purchasing an annual subscription must pay $ 80.
Two new iPads
Apple has unveiled a new model of its mid-range iPads. The eighth generation iPad is not much different from the previous generation. The most obvious change of this tablet is in the performance section. The tablet will be available for $ 329 starting Friday, but schools and students can purchase the gadget for $ 299.
But Apple has made the most attractive changes to the new iPad Air model. Apple has used a 10.9-inch display with a resolution of 1,640 x 2,360 for this tablet, which has very narrow margins around it. It should be noted that the Touch ID sensor is also integrated with the power button. It also has a USB-C charging port, just like the iPad Pro. But the most important feature of this tablet is its internal hardware, because the new iPad Air is the first Apple product to use the A14 Bionic chip. This is a six-core processor that is much more powerful and efficient than the previous model. The A14 Bionic is also the world's first chip to feature a 5nm architecture. Certainly, in 2021, more devices will be available with 5-nanometer chips. The new iPad Air will be available next month for $ 599.
