WWDC 2017: New Apple releases!
All Apple lovers and fans are in for a treat!
The California tech-giant made waves for its 6 major announcements in the WWDC. We’ve got them all covered here! Read on for the rundown!
New Devices
New Tablets
Say hello to iPad Pro 10.5-inch! The previous rumors were quite right on the screen and tablet size. Screen size is 20% larger with less bezels. Plus the tablet has a new feature called ProMotion which can double refresh rate up to 120 Hz.
For those who love the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, don’t worry it was not left behind. They also gave updated internal specs which makes it on par with the 10.5-inch. The best news: you can already order both today.
New MacBook Pro and MacBook specs
All MacBooks are getting a refresh by upgrading the entire line to the Kaby Lake or 7th-gen Intel Core plus up to 50% faster SSDs. They’re all available for purchase today!
New iMac and iMac Pro
It’s desktops also finally got an upgrade since October 2015. The whole iMac line will be upgrading to the 7th-gen Intel Core and adding 2 USB-C Connectors which supports ThunderBolt 3 to name a few.
Apple showed they didn’t forget about their Pro users with the iMac Pro. Safe to say an intense upgrade was done on this machine. Price is at $4,999 and will ship on December.
HomePod
Everyone was in for a treat with the newest device from Apple: the HomePod. It’s competing with the Amazon Echo but has stronger privacy protection claimed by Apple. It will be available in two colors: White and Grey. It will start shipping in the US this December.
Other updates
iOS 11
By Fall this year, Apple will be releasing iOS 11 across iPhones and iPads as a free upgrade! There are several new features but the iPads will have the most perks.
