The colors ship with iOS 15.4, which offers the ability to use Face ID while wearing a mask, a new Siri voice option, expanded language support for Visual Lookup, new emojis and much more.

A new iPad Air


In addition to the new iPhone SE and iPhone 13 colors, Apple introduced a new iPad Air designed with its M1 chip.

The iPad Air has an 8-core CPU that delivers up to 60% faster performance and an 8-core GPU that delivers up to two times faster graphics performance compared to the previous iPad Air.

iPadOS 15 will allow users to multitask with features like Split View and Slide Over, share experiences with friends and family on FaceTime using SharePlay, collaborate on projects using Quick Note and work between their Mac and iPad using Universal Control.

The powerful and versatile new iPad Air comes in a stunning array of colors, and features the Apple-designed M1 chip, a new Ultra Wide front camera, blazing-fast 5G, and more.


Wi-Fi models of the new iPad Air start at $599 while Wi-Fi and Cellular models start at $749. In addition, iPad Air prices for current and newly accepted college students, as well as their parents, faculty, staff and homeschool teachers of all grade levels start at $549.

The new iPad Air is available in 64GB and 256GB configurations and comes in space gray, starlight, pink, purple and blue. Pre-orders will begin Friday, with availability starting March 18. iPad Air accessories include the second-generation Apple Pencil, the Magic Keyboard, the Smart Keyboard Folio and Smart Folio covers, which start at $129, $299, $179 and $79, respectively.

Mac Studio and Studio Display


The Mac Studio desktop, powered by Apple's M1 Max chip and new M1 Ultra chip, allows users to render massive 3D environments and play back 18 streams of ProRes video by delivering performance of up to 7.4 gigabytes per second. It also includes storage capacity of up to 8 terabytes, up to 64GB of unified memory on systems with the M1 Max and up to 128GB of unified memory on systems with M1 Ultra.

Mac Studio has four Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 10 gigabit Ethernet port, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, an HDMI port, an SD card slot, a pro audio jack for high-impedance headphones or external amplified speakers and built-in Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. Over the course of a year, Mac Studio will use up to 1,000 kilowatt-hours less energy than a high-end PC desktop.

Mac Studio puts essential connectivity within arm’s reach, with a wide selection of ports on the back, and two USB-C ports and an SD card slot on the front.

M1 Ultra chip


Apple's new M1 ultra chip basically doubles the size of the previous M1 chip using UltraFusion connection technology.

M1 Ultra is the world’s most powerful and capable chip for a personal computer.


M1 Ultra has 114 billion transistors, the most ever in a personal computer chip, and can be configured with up to 128GB of high-bandwidth, low-latency unified memory. M1 Ultra has a 64-core GPU — eight times the size of M1 — and up to 3.8 times faster CPU performance than the fastest 27-inch iMac with an 10-core processor.
