What a great line up today from Apple’s latest announcements… A few highlights that caught my eye, and a desire for what I will be buying. They key thing is a ton of rumors have been provided to be true:<\/p>\n

1) New MacBook Air – with Retina display, fingerprint reader and T2 chip. This is allowing for better storage, faster SSDs, and more memory. Of course, it now has the butterfly keyboard just like all other macs, I guess Apple is all in on this. <\/p>\n

2) New Mac-Mini – this was a long shot by most rumors, but it has happened. They have again put the T2 chip in the design, allowing for Faster SSDs, and a whole lot of other options. Up to 64GB of Ram and 2TB SSDs.. a lot of ports, 4 USB-C and 2 USB-A, along with HDMI and Ethernet port. This will make a lot of people very happy. <\/p>\n

3) So now we have the iPad Pro, in two sizes, 11 inch and 12.9 inch, with the rumored USB-C adapter, FaceID, and edge to edge display. (Well not really edge to edge, but pretty close – as it is LCD display). Up to 1TB of Storage along with a new A12X Bionic chip. Of course with the new size and shape, they have a new Apple Keyboard (more of a full folio which allows for two viewing angles – so glad to see this), and a new Pencil. The new Pencil accepts a tap and double tap on the pencil to allow for additional shortcuts (programmed by new apps).<\/p>\n

4) Of course they showed off the new version of Photoshop for iPad (which will be available sometime next year. Also, 2K showed off their NBA release, pretty amazing graphics.<\/p>\n

Other than the software, all items are on sale today and available next week. They obviously were in the queue for the September announcement, but I am guessing they were delayed due to code in iOS 12.1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
