With the end of this year's Apple Spring Conference, a large wave of "high-energy" products have been unveiled.
These include the new iPhone SE, the fifth-generation iPad Air, the M1 Ultra chip, the Mac Studio console, and the Studio Display display.
In addition, Apple has also brought new colors to some products, such as the green iPhone 13 series, colorful protective cases and different styles of straps.
However, the time of the conference is limited, and the details of some products apple did not announce in detail at this conference.
Today, Xiaoguo will take you to understand the product details that Apple did not announce at the conference, hoping to bring some help to your purchase of products.
New iPhone SE
The new iPhone SE has not brought about changes in appearance, mainly because it is equipped with A15 chips and supports 5G, while improving endurance.
In fact, this is not unusual, the design is not the main selling point of the iPhone SE.
The iPhone SE has always been the main focus of high performance and low price, and the high cost performance has also brought it quite good sales.
Recently, research institute Counterpoint released the 2021 smartphone sales list, of which the 2020 iPhone SE ranked eighth.
Even among the high-end models, the iPhone SE still has a place and sales are very impressive, which may be one of the reasons why Apple continues to update this product line.
As for the battery life problem that many small partners are very concerned about, the relevant data comparison can also be seen in the official website.
As you can see, the overall endurance of the new iPhone SE is stronger than that of the 2020 iPhone SE, but weaker than the iPhone 13 mini.
Compared with the price of 128GB gear, the new iPhone SE and iPhone 13 mini are 1300 yuan apart, and they are also single SIM card configurations, the processor is the same, and the battery life is slightly inferior.
In addition, according to the report of MacRumors, developers can understand through the string in Xcode that the running memory of the new iPhone SE has increased from 3GB of the old model to 4GB.
Xcode's data has accurately shown the shipping data of previous iPhones in the past, so this data is basically reliable.
In terms of price, it is also the point that many small partners complain about the most, and the price of the new iPhone SE has risen by 100-200 yuan compared with the previous generation.
But even so, the lowest price of 3499 yuan, but also support 5G, overall is still quite affordable, the new iPhone SE is still the cheapest 5G iPhone on the market.
Over time, the price of the third party will gradually decline, and the price will be within 3000.
If you think the official price is expensive, you can also wait for the price of the third-party platform to drop, and then buy at a cheaper price.
In addition, small partners who are not satisfied with the appearance of the iPhone SE do not have to worry.
At present, it is a matter of time before the iPhone SE series launches a full screen, and it may be the first to adopt the design of the iPhone XR, which will be seen as early as next year or the following year.
You can look forward to it.
Fifth-generation iPad Air
In addition to the iPhone SE, the fifth-generation iPad Air 5 also brings us a very significant performance improvement.
One of the biggest highlights is the first M1 chip, which further narrows the distance with the iPad Pro.
But at the same time, the iPad Pro still has the advantages that the iPad Air does not have, namely ProMotion adaptive refresh technology and face recognition.
Small partners who have a demand for these two functions can still consider the iPad Pro series first.
However, compared with the price difference between iPad Air and iPad Pro, the minimum price difference will also come to 1800-2100 yuan.
For most users, the lower-priced iPad Air can already meet most of the needs just for everyday use.
Mac
At this conference, Apple launched a new category Mac Studio for desktop Macs, and equipped them with a new M1 Ultra chip.
It is understood that the M1 Ultra chip, as the final version of M1, can be called a new generation of performance monsters.
Currently, the 28-core Intel Xeon W-3275M processor is the best processor in the Mac Pro, but it still lags behind the M1 Ultra chip.
Recently, the running score software Geekbench conducted a running score evaluation of these two chips.
Among them, the 28-core Intel Xeon W-3275M processor has a single-core run score of 1152 points and a multi-core run score of 19951 points.
The M1 Ultra's single-core run score is 1793 points, and the multi-core run is scored at 24055 points, leading the Intel chip in all aspects.
In addition to the performance leadership, the price of Mac Studio is also much lower than that of Mac Pro in the same configuration.
Among them, the price of the Mac Pro with only 28-core processor has reached 100499 yuan, while the Mac Studio with the new M1 Ultra chip is only sold for 29999 yuan.
Not only has stronger performance, but also a lower price, who to choose should not need to say more.
In addition, mac pro, as the only device that has not been updated to the self-developed chip, will also usher in a new upgrade this year.
At present, with the launch of the M1 Ultra chip, the M1 chip has been fully updated, and the Mac Pro, as the strongest desktop in the future, should be directly equipped with the M2 chip, or the updated M2 Pro / M2 Max.
Judging from Apple's preview at the conference, it is expected that the new and upgraded Mac Pro will be launched at this year's WWDC Developer Conference.
In addition, Apple has also launched a new Studio Display display, which can be seen as an "affordable version" of the Pro Display XDR.
At the same time, after the conference, Apple quietly removed the 27-inch iMac.
This may mean that Apple will not launch a large-screen all-in-one machine in the future.
