Apple Event March 2022 Summary - New iPhone 13, iPhone SE, iPad Air, M1 Ultra

 

Let me summarize the Apple Event that happened on 8 March 2022... with my own opinion. 

1. Apple TV's new upcoming shows - I am not interested. Netflix and Disney Plus shows are more interesting. 
2. New iPhone 13 colors! 
• iPhone 13 Bold Green
• iPhone 13 Alpine Green
• Green? Great for camouflaging in the jungle. 
3. New iPhone SE - Smaller iPhone at a cheaper price. 
• Same A15 Apple Silicon chip as iPhone 13. 
• 3 colors - black, white, and red.
• Glass and aluminum body.
• 5G for faster internet connection.
• 12MP camera. 
• iOS 15. 
• Starts from $429. 
• Maybe I should get this instead of iPhone 13. 
4. New iPad Air - for students, content creators, and gamers.  
• M1 chip.
• 12MP ultra-wide camera.
• 5G internet connection. 
• Accessories - keyboard and pen.
• iPadOS 15. 
• New release of iMovie - new storyboard feature... templates?
• Starts from $599.
5. M1 Ultra - New most powerful Apple Silicon Chip.
• Here's the lineup now - M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra. 
• It will never end. I guess the next one is M1 Ultra Plus.    
6. Mac Studio and Studio Display - A new Mac computer.
• Powered by M1 Max or M1 Ultra
• It's better than Mac Pro... so we don't need this anymore? 
• Just a 7.7 inches square box.
• No monitor, keyboard, or mouse. 
• 4 thunderbolt ports.
• 10GB ethernet port
• 2 USB-A ports
• 2 USB-C ports - Thunderbolt 4

• headphone jack
• No mic jack?
• Wifi and Bluetooth
• Studio Display is the new monitor with the same iPad 12MP ultra-wide camera. Six speaker sound system. Powered by A13 chip. 3 USB-C and 1 thunderbolt port... why don't they put the computer inside too? 
• Mac Studio M1 Max starts at $1999.
• Mac Studio M1 Ultra stars at $3999.
• Studio Display starts at $1599.
