Google PlayWith Apple’s latest event, this time carrying the title “Peek Performance,” fans of the Cupertino-headquartered iPhone crafters were once again met with a plethora of potential upgrade options.
Ahead of Tuesday’s livestream, which marked the first Apple event of the year, rumors had stacked up about what, exactly, could be given attention from Tim Cook and company this go-around. Among the potential reveals speculated on in recent weeks were an iPhone SE (with 5G capabilities), a new iPad Air, and more.
Below, we take a look at a few highlights from the latest Apple Event, which did indeed include unveilings of new SE and Air devices.
As expected, Tuesday’s proceedings kicked off with comments from Cook, who opened the event by running through some of the team’s recent Apple TV+ accomplishments. Cook then shared a compilation clip showing previous Apple releases, like the Oscar-nominated Coda, as well as upcoming projects including Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds’ Spirited.
On the TV-focused announcement front, Cook then detailed the new Friday Night Baseball feature, which will allow fans to tune in for exclusive games. “Apple is the ideal partner to bring Friday Night Baseball to fans around the world,” Noah Garden, MLB’s chief revenue officer, said in a subsequent statement.
Per a press release, fans will also be able to watch MLB Big Inning, a live series airing on weeknights during the regular season.
Orders for the new Air begin this Friday, with in-store availability starting March 18. WiFi models of the new Air start at $599, while WiFi/cellular models start at $749. Users can choose between 64GB and 256GB models in colors including space gray, pink, starlight, blue, and purple.
