The Cupertino tech giant on Tuesday unveiled a new 11-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro equipped with the M1 Mac chip, and a 24-inch iMac that looks conspicuously like an oversized iPad.

Apple released a number of new products and services during Spring Loaded – its first event of the year on Tuesday.
The National lists the five major announcements from the Cupertino-based company.
iMac with Apple’s M1 chip
The company’s iMac desktop underwent one of the biggest redesigns in recent years. For the first time, the iMac will be equipped with an Apple-made silicon processor, the M1, and not an Intel chip.
The 61-centimetre iMac – which will be available in seven colours – is also more compact, with the latest design reducing its size by up to 50 per cent. Apple has also made the size of the internal fans smaller to make the device quieter. Staring from $1,299, it will be available for pre-order from April 30 and delivery will begin in the second half of next month.

Apple s updated iPad Pro lineup will be available for pre-order on April 30, and while the new models look much like their predecessors, there are a lot of changes under the hood. We have yet to go hands on with the new iPads, but here s what you need to know about the 2021 iPad Pros before you spent $800+ on a new tablet. All three iPad Pros can be upgraded to iPadOS 14.
Design and Display

With the exception of the larger camera bump Apple introduced last year, the iPad Pro’s design hasn’t changed much since 2018. And at first glance, this year s model is more of the same.
