137: Apple Announces NEW Macs and iPads!

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through all of Apple's latest announcements for the iPhone (macrumors.com/guide/iphone), iPad (macrumors.com/roundup/ipad), and Mac lineups.

Now that the iPhone 16e (macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-16e) is available, we explore first-hand impressions of the device, including its design, camera, display, and custom modem. Apple this week unveiled a new iPad Air (macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-air) featuring the M3 chip, a refreshed entry-level ‌iPad‌ with the A16 chip, and a redesigned Magic Keyboard for the ‌iPad Air‌. The MacBook Air (macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air) now offers the M4 chip and an all-new "Sky Blue" color option, now starting at just $999. Meanwhile, the Mac Studio (macrumors.com/roundup/mac-studio) has been refreshed with M4 Max and M3 Ultra chip options.

We take a look at why the ‌iPad Air‌'s refresh is relatively small and who should buy it, the entry-level ‌iPad‌'s peculiar omission of Apple Intelligence (macrumors.com/guide/apple-intelligence) support, and differences between the ‌iPad Air‌'s Magic Keyboard and that of the iPad Pro (macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro). We also discuss thoughts on the ‌MacBook Air‌'s unexpected new finish, as well as the unusual chip generation difference among the new ‌Mac Studio‌'s options.
