The American company Apple rolled out several new device and software updates on Monday.
According to Ukrinform reporter TechCrunch writes about it.
The first was the new Mac Book Air laptop with a 15-inch diagonal display, the largest of all the company’s laptops. At just 11.5mm thick, it’s the thinnest 15-inch laptop on the market. The new battery allows it to work independently for 18 hours. The device also has 6 built-in speakers and 3 microphones. It will go on sale in the US next week and will start at $1,299.
The Apple Mac Studio desktop has also been updated, receiving the latest M2 process making the computer 40% faster than before. Video bandwidth has also been improved, which now allows you to connect an 8K display with a high refresh rate. In the US, the price of this device will start at $1,999.
The new M2 processor is also integrated into the flagship MacPro, which should now run three times faster than before. At the same time, the device has not undergone any external changes. The price of this device in the US starts at $6,999.
Among the “operational” innovations presented, the new macOS 14 Sonoma stands out. Interactive widgets and a game mode have appeared in it, which will allow players to be less distracted and provide a more reliable connection with gaming devices. The operating system has also added several useful features for teleconferencing, including the ability to clearly separate the speaker from the dynamic background.
The software of the AirPods headphones has also been slightly updated. The new adaptive audio function can combine active combat against background noises with a “transparent” mode, which improves sound quality and allows the headset user to hear what’s going on around them while driving.
The new version of iOS17 smartphone software allows you to easily share contacts and photos with another iPhone user at close range. The new Journal app will use artificial intelligence to provide personalized journaling tips based on photos, music, sports and more. Also, Apple has slightly improved the iMessage messenger and added a special night function to the iPhone that will constantly display the time, alarm clock and other useful information on the screen at night. The text autocorrect function has also received an update that gets much smarter and learns faster. In addition, the Siri voice assistant will now be called with the phrase “Siri” instead of “Hello Siri” as before.
The update is also worth waiting for owners of iPad tablets, because the new operating system iOS17 will improve the work of widgets, offer a separate application for monitoring health indicators, improve the work of notes and introduce a number of other improvements.
The developers did not ignore the Apple Watch smartwatch, either. The new operating system OS 10 now analyzes hand gestures and provides recommendations for tennis players and golfers. If the smartphone is attached to the handlebar, the watch will now be able to connect to cycling accessories and display the readings on the iPhone screen.
