There’s also a new and interesting update to the iPad Pro, if you’re looking for a device that straddles the line between laptop and tablet. Everyone knows that the iPhone is the crown jewel in Apple’s lineup of products, but its second wave of announcements was nothing to sneeze at, either. Here’s the rundown. Finally, a new Macbook Air The Macbook Air, Apple’s less-powerful but ultra-light laptop, is one of the few computers tech fans and critics have continued to talk about years after Apple stopped keeping it current.
