The products released today are appetizers or have already entered the dinner.
In the evening of March 18, Beijing time, Apple launched three new products in a low profile: the new iPad Pro, the new Macbook Air, and the new Mac mini.
According to previous practice, some hardware products will be released a few days in advance of Apple’s spring conference. On the one hand, Apple’s conference four times a year is not enough to carry all hardware products. On the other hand, launching these products in advance can also play a role in warming up subsequent conferences.
These low-key online products are equivalent to the appetizers of a large meal. But this year’s situation is special. According to foreign media reports, Apple’s spring conference was cancelled due to the impact of the epidemic. Therefore, it is difficult to say whether the products released today are appetizers or have already entered the dinner.
The new Macbook Air is priced at RMB 7,999, which is lower than the previous generation. Students who meet the requirements of the Apple Store start at RMB 7,199, but each customer is limited to 5 units. The new Macbook Air restores the old-fashioned scissor keyboard design, replacing the less experienced butterfly keyboard. Using the latest 10th generation Intel Core processors, up to 4 core processors can be selected, and the performance of the central processing unit can be increased up to twice. The starting capacity of solid-state hard disks reaches 256G, which can be increased up to 2T.
At the same time, the new iPad Pro is also available. The new iPad Pro is equipped with an A12Z bionic chip, adding a 10-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, which starts at 6229 yuan.
It is worth mentioning that the new iPad Pro finally began to support the trackpad, which has also been a wish of iPad users for many years. The cursor is also redesigned to match the touchpad. It can intelligently adjust the shape according to the current content. When pointing to a button, app icon or text, it will automatically become the appropriate tool. And for those tasks that require more granularity, such as creating spreadsheets or editing text, it is especially suitable. Users can also use intuitive touchpad gestures to quickly perform various operations within iPadOS.
The iPad Pro has been released recently, and the accompanying wonderful control keyboard will be released in May.
In addition, Apple also brought the new Mac mini.
