Tim Cook walking through the streets of Apple Park, shows us that spring has arrived, finally revealing all the news at Apple, not only with proposals and product updates but also with regard to services but let's see the news together.

Apple Podcasts Subscriptions is born

Among the first innovations presented during the Apple Spring Loaded on April 20, there is the Apple Podcasts Subscriptions, a series of subscription services curated by podcasters. For some time now there have been rumors about the possibility of such a service and, finally, the official status has arrived. Not only ad-free listening but also extra content, exclusive or preview access to new audio series.

The new Macs

Among the proposals there are certainly the new Macs, colorful and with a completely new design, in line with the explosion of colors of the season that has just begun. A new generation awaited for years, they have finally arrived. The devices are based on the new M1 processor (which has already revolutionized MacBook and MacBook Pro); 24-inch True Tone, 9.5-thick 4.5K retina with 11.3 million pixels with a completely redesigned camera, microphone and audio system, perfectly suited to this period of remote lectures and business meetings. Three different models, prices starting from 1,499 euros.

The iPad Pro that professionals like

As for the new iPad Pro, however, there are not too many differences from a design point of view. Two models, 11 inches and 12.9 inches, the second also features a new Liquid Retina XDR display. But the real change is inside. According to Apple, the new CPU is 50% faster and capable of supporting useful apps for those who work on it. A product that will prove useful for professionals not only for video editing, 3D modeling and graphics but also for music, sports, architecture, above all, with interesting perspectives for developers. Another feature that could not be missing is the compatibility, for models with cellular connectivity, with 5G networks together with support for the very fast Thunderbolt, via USB. Two different colors, starting from 899 euros.

What are Apple AirTags?

To arouse the curiosity of even the less passionate, however, there are them, the new AirTags. What is an AirTag? A simple device that, at least once in our life, we would have liked to have.

Have you lost your wallet? No problem with AirTag. Open the new Objects panel of the Where is app and play the speaker integrated into the AirTag. Or you can simply say: "Hey Siri, find my wallet"

Apple presents them to us like this, as a practical help for the most careless, with an elegant design, in line like all other products. Pre-orderable from April 30th, the price is 35 euros each while a package of 4 costs 119 euros.
