At the iPhone launch in September, Apple brought a new generation of iPhone XS and XR series models, but other product lines were not mentioned. On October 30, Apple held a press conference in New York, the United States, which brought more new products. Are there any new products you want? Let's have a look.

Mac

As soon as the press conference came up, Apple brought a new Mac series product - the new MacBook Air (hereinafter referred to as MBA). The biggest change of the new MBA is that the "low definition" screen is finally eliminated and the Retina high-definition screen is replaced: the screen size is 13.3 inches, with a resolution of 2560x1600; The CPU is upgraded to the 8th generation dual core Core i5 processor, with the base frequency of 1.6GHz and the Remax frequency of 3.6GHz; Up to 16GB memory and 1.5T SSD are optional.

At the same time, the same Touch ID as the new MBP is added, but it exists in the form of a separate key, and the TouchBar is not added. Naturally, the T2 security chip also exists in the new MBA. In terms of keyboard, the third generation butterfly keyboard has been replaced and the area of the touch pad has been increased. However, as far as the performance of the first two butterfly keyboards is concerned, the reliability of the new MBA keyboard still needs time to test.

The interface part, like the new MBP, cuts down the old interface directly and only provides two ThunerBolt 3 interfaces and 3.5mm headphone interface; Compared with the old MBA, the volume is 17% smaller, the thinnest part is only 0.41cm, and the weight is only 1.25kg.

In terms of price, the minimum i5+8GB+128GB version starts at $1199, and the starting price of the Bank of China is 9499 yuan. It provides dark space gray, gold and silver colors, and will be available for booking immediately. It will be launched on November 7 (the Bank of China has not yet determined).

At the same time as the new MBA, there is also the Mac mini that has not been updated for many years. The appearance basically maintains the original square box design, but the built-in processors are finally upgraded to 4-core core i3, 6-core core i5 processors, and even 6-core core i7 processors, which are the latest eighth generation processors; In terms of memory, it supports up to 64GB. In terms of storage, it can be directly replaced with SSD, and it can support up to 2TB; T2 security chip is also included.

In terms of interface, Mac mini has too much conscience compared with the new MBA and MBP. It provides up to 10Gbps network cable interface, 4 ThunerBolt 3 interfaces, 2 USB conventional interfaces, HDMI and 3.5mm headphone interfaces, which are too practical.

The new Mac mini starts at $799, and the Bank of China starts at $6499. It only provides one color, deep space gray. Like the new MBA, it will start to make an appointment immediately and be launched on November 7 (Bank of China also has not yet determined).

iPad Pro

Consistent with the previous exposure, Apple also brought a new iPad - iPad Pro. The new features of the new iPad Pro are basically consistent with the exposure. The previous Touch ID is removed from the front and the same Face ID as the iPhone X series is replaced. It can be unlocked vertically and horizontally, which is more practical than the iPhone; There are 11 inch and 12.9 inch screens, with resolutions of 2388x1668 and 2732x2048, and PPI of 264. The proportion of screens has increased significantly; The SoC is equipped with A12X bionics, which is stronger than A12 bionics. The 8-core CPU (4-core+4-core)+7-core GPU design is very violent; In terms of storage, the highest 512GB of iPhone is doubled, and 1TB storage is supported; In terms of interface, I finally removed my own Lightning and replaced it with a USB Type-C interface, which can also charge the iPhone! But please note that the 3.5mm headphone hole is removed from the new iPad Pro as well as the iPhone.

In terms of accessories, Apple Pencil is updated to the second generation at the same time, which supports the magnetic link with the new iPad Pro; Smart Keyboard Folio was launched at the same time, but it is not clear whether it is compatible with the old iPad Pro; In order to show the performance of the new iPad Pro at the press conference, in addition to the regular game manufacturer platform, Adobe was also invited to develop PhotoShop and other kits for it. In the future, it will be more comfortable to use PS on the iPad.

In terms of price, Both iPad Pro sizes are available in four versions: 64GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. The 11 inch 64GB Wi Fi version starts at $799, while the 12.9 inch 64GB Wi Fi version starts at $999. The corresponding price of the Bank of China is $6499/8099. Like the new Mac product, the reservation will start immediately. It will be launched on November 7, and the Bank of China will wait for the approval of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It is estimated that it will be later.

Apple's sincerity in this press conference is still very strong. The Mac mini and MBA that have not been updated for many years have been greatly improved: Retina screens have been added and new processors have been added; Apple officially announced that the A12X equipped with the iPad Pro is comparable to the Xbox One S in image performance. The addition of Face ID has improved the screen share, and finally replaced with a new USB Type-C interface! If you have money, I really want to start with everything, but it's a pity that the final decision whether to cut hands or not depends on the thickness of your wallet.
