Apple Inc has added 5G connectivity to its low-cost iPhone SE and iPad Air.
Apple also introduced a faster chip for its Mac Studio Computer as it moves to power its devices with microprocessors designed in house.
The new Studio desktop starts at $3,999 with the new M1 Ultra chip. The iPad Air also got Apple’s M1 chip that was developed for laptops.
Apple’s Mac Pro still runs on Intel Corp microprocessors.
Apple slightly raised the price on the iPhone SE to $429 from $399 for the previous model. The new phone starts shipping March 18, according to Reuters.
The iPhone SE comes with an A15 Bionic chip, which Apple says is the fastest among competition, a 4.7-inch retina display and a home button with touch ID.
The M1 Ultra is made by connecting two M1 Max chips and is eight times faster than M1 chips. Its first use will be in the creative professional-focused Mac Studio computer.
Apple will offer two versions of the Mac Studio, one with the M1 Max chip and the other utilizing the M1 Ultra chip.
Mac Studio pricing starts at $1,999 for the version with the M1 Max chip and $3,999 for the M1 Ultra loaded computer.
Apple also launched a new monitor called Studio Display that can be paired with any Mac, including Macbook Air and Macbook Pro models, and which is priced at $1,599.
