At first it was thought that yesterday at Apple's “Spring Vorward” event only the new Apple Watch would be presented. But now Apple has introduced something else: a new MacBook and iOS 8.2.
MacBook
Let's start with the new MacBook. Apple really wanted to reinvent the notebook, and according to Cook, they have now done so.
This is what the new MacBook looks like.
The new MacBook has a larger keyboard that goes to the edge and a larger touchpad. The new MacBook is 24% thinner than its predecessor MacBook Air. The housing is made entirely of metal, so a fan is no longer necessary. The new keyboard also has LEDs that illuminate the letters.
The display is 12 inches and has a resolution of 2304 x 1440 pixels. Apple says this is the best display ever built into MacBooks.
The new touchpad is also something special, it has force sensors. There is also a “hard click” (force click) for “left-right-click”. For example, if you mark contact details or an address on a homepage, the Force Click will display a business card or a card, for example. Not that bad! If you watch a video in Quicktime you can - the harder you click - fast forward or slower forward.
There is also something special about the new MacBook: there is no fan! Yes, that saves a lot of space. That’s why there’s a motherboard, the trackpad, and other things under the hood? ... only batteries! More precisely, there are 6 batteries under the hood.
The battery should last for a long time. 9 hours of web surfing, 10 hours of video watching on iTunes. There is also a new connection for electricity. … no, one connection for everything! How should you charge your Mac and connect it to the projector? Using an adapter?
During the keynote, Apple also said that the new successor is the most environmentally friendly laptop Apple has ever made.
The model with a 12″ display, 1,1 GHzProprocessor, 8 GB of RAM, Intel HD 5300, 256 GB of memory are available for $1299. The second model is $300 More double the memory and faster Proprocessor. The thing will be in stores from April.
Apple Watch
The long-awaited smartwatch has finally been introduced. More details are available now!
You can configure the Apple Watch as you want. Like a classic watch, or digital, full of information, simple or elegant. You can always add or switch off additional information if required.
As with other smartwatches, there are different watch faces, including a Mickey Mouse Face 😀
The functions include: viewing the calendar, accepting calls and also making calls via the watch, sending SMS, operating Siri, ...
With one press of the button you can select a friend who also has an Apple Watch.
You can even draw something to friends who also have an Apple Watch, and the other person will see what the other person is drawing straight away. You can also transmit your heartbeat and the other will feel it.
With the Apple Watch you should also be more active. The watch reminds you to exercise, exercise, or go running. For example, if you are in the office and sit for a long time, the clock tells you that you should move for a short time.
Apple Pay is also integrated into the smartwatch. You just hold the watch up to the reader in the shop and you've paid. There are even dedicated apps for the smartwatch. This can be transferred to the watch using the Apple Watch app on the iPhone.
Now we almost get to the most important part: the battery life. Apple has also ensured a good battery life, which lasts for 18 hours.
The Apple Watch should be available in silver or gray. The smaller version starts at $ 349 and the large version starts at $ 399. The watch will be available from April 24th. Also in Germany.
