Apple Sure Does Have A Lot Of Product News To Share This Week

There’s no doubt that Apple is among the tech industry’s heaviest hitters — so when it promises a week of exciting announcements, fans and influencers alike are bound to take notice. Product updates began rolling out yesterday, and we’ve got a breakdown of the biggest confirmed news and rumors.

• All about AI: Like almost all of its Big Tech rivals, Apple has been pursuing an artificial intelligence strategy that will offer users an array of useful and clever features. A suite of tools including writing assistance and photo editor are currently being implemented in a beta version on iPhones, iPads, and Macs, and users are required to join a waitlist before the platform is implemented on the device.
• iMac updates: If you’re in the market for a new iMac, it might be worth waiting for the latest version, which boasts a powerful M4 chip, an 8-core CPU, and as much as a 10-core GPU. There are a lot more color options available now as well as an array of accessories. Prices start at just under $1,300.
• Other notable news: Insiders say the new MacBook Pro is expected to receive the latest M4 chip, though Apple hasn’t confirmed that yet. There’s also a big redesign in the works for the Mac Mini, which is expected to become more compact than ever. And say goodbye to the Lightning Port because Apple confirmed it is replacing all of its accessories with more common USB-C ports.

Whether you’re a long-time Apple loyalist or simply curious about what the company has in store, this week should be a great opportunity to find out the latest about what is already here and what you can expect in the near future. And next month, even more product launches are slated to be announced.
