Apple Inc. today announced a raft of new products during its “Spring Loaded” event, including a new M1-powered iMac, a new iPad Pro, a new Apple TV and AirTags.
Two of the new products are powered by Apple’s powerhouse M1 chip. It features an eight-core CPU and is by far the highest-performance CPU Apple has built so far and represents a “system on chip” design. The M1 is featured in the new 24-inch iMac, as well as the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
The new Apple TV features a brand-new Siri remote, numerous apps and Apple device integration. And AirTags are an accessory connected to Apple’s Find My network, which helps people locate lost items, such as keys and handbags, using their iPhones.
Apple Debuts New iPads, Macs and AirTags
Apple has announced a new line of iMacs, the first to feature the M1 “Apple Silicon” chip, as well as TouchID and a 4.5K Retina display.
Apple on Tuesday held its first big product event of 2021, after holding three of them throughout the fall of 2020. Like those, the event was held at Apple Park, presumably recorded, and featured Tim Cook and other Apple executives touting new products as they stood outside the company’s headquarters.
The “Spring Loaded” event featured product announcements across several product categories, most notably the iMac and iPad lines.
Apple has confirmed it will release its new software update, iOS 14.5, next week – complete with a controversial feature called App Tracking Transparency.
App Tracking Transparency is a new anti-tracking feature that aims to crack down on apps that track iPhone users, such as Facebook and Google.
The feature will require all phone apps to get the user s permission before tracking their data across websites or apps owned by other companies.
It will let users go to their Settings and see which apps have requested permission to track them, and make any changes as they see fit.
The update, which was delayed last year, is a blow to Facebook and other digital services with apps that depend on such data surveillance to help sell ads.
