While 2020 has forced Apple to move the way it works with many employees working from home for most of the year, Apple has yet to get a long list of new products to be released over the past 12 months. went away, updating most of the devices in its line and introducing new software.
In our latest YouTube video, we made our top five results in 2020. While there were many to choose from, there were several standouts like the M1 Macs, the iPhone 12 lineup, the iPad Air, the AirPods Max, and the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro.
Magic Keyboard
It may seem like a long time ago, but back in March 2020, Apple unveiled new iPad Pro models with updated camera technology that incorporates LiDAR Scanner for the first time, and along with the new models iPad Pro, Apple introduced the Magic Keyboard.

Apple previously had a Smart Keyboard for its iPads, but the Magic Keyboard is the best iPad keyboard designed by Apple to date. It has a scissor hardware keyboard that is similar to the keyboard used for Apple Macs, and for the first time, it has a trackpad.
The trackpad makes the iPad more like a laptop than ever before, and Apple iPads are now compatible with mice. The Magic Keyboard also has a nifty floral design that allows the display to change, and even works well in a lap.

On the downside, the price starts at $ 300, which is quite expensive for a keyboard, and it doesn’t fold back so you can’t use it as a normal case when you don’t need it. keyboard.
On iPad
Introduced in September 2020, the iPad Air is Apple’s first device to have a full-screen display and Touch ID, with Touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the power button.

It also got a faster A14 chip before the A14 chip came to the iPhone 12 (even though Apple released the iPad Air and the iPhone 12 line at the same time), and it comes in a range of new colors not previously used for iPad.

Compared to previous-generation iPad Air a models, it got a iPad Pro stoidhle-style display with down bezels, and with its A14 chip, Touch ID, and new design, it’s a solid deal at the starting price of $ 599 aige.
iPhone 12
Apple released four new iPhones this year, including a 5.4-inch iPhone mini, its smallest iPhone in many years designed for fans of smaller devices , and the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max, the largest iPhone to date.

All the new iPhones feature a new freshiPad Pro-style design with square edges removed that marks a departure from the rounded edges we saw in the iPhone line from the iPhone 6.

All iPhones feature OLED displays even at the low end, and have A14 chipsets that are very fast. They all have great cameras, but the iPhone 12 Pro Max has the highest camera setting, although both Pro models feature the same LiDAR Scanner that was first introduced in the iPad Pro.

IPhone 12 models are also equipped with a ring of internal magnets that make them compatible with a new technology called MagSafe, which is used to attach chargers and magnetic devices. With MagSafe, iPhones are able to charge wirelessly at up to 15W, an improvement over the maximum cost of 7.5W.
M1 Macs
At WWDC in June, Apple confirmed that it was working on the Army – based Apple Armicon chipsets, and in November, Apple ‘s first silicon Mac was unveiled with “M1” chipsets. The M1 Macs are, without a doubt, the most exciting new products that Apple has come up with in the Mac line in years.

Prior to its launch, no one knew for sure what to expect from the M1 Macs, but Apple surprised everyone directly unbelievable performance. When it comes to single-core CPU speeds, the M1 Macs outperform every other Mac on the market, and in multi-core performance, they are on par with some desktop devices high-end at Apple.

Apple has added its M1 chip in the MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini, and despite the speed advantages introduced by these chips, these are the low end Macs, with even more powerful chips expected for the 16-inch MacBook Pro, iMac, and other devices in 2021.
AirPods Max
We didn’t expect the AirPods Max until 2021, but Apple introduced them as a December surprise. The AirPods Max are Apple’s first over-the-ear headphones, and they turned out to be more expensive than anyone expected at $ 549.

The AirPods Max feature aluminum ear cups, mesh ear cushions, and mesh headbands, and while they are heavier than many other headphone options on the market due to the price increase, the bulk is -some people have been comfortable.

AirPods Max has all the features you expect from AirPods such as quick pairing, fast device switching, and great range, as well as Active Sound Off, Adaptive EQ, and Audio Space. They sound great, as they should for $ 549, and have proper battery life at 20 hours.
The only real downside is the Smart Case, which has a weird design, doesn’t offer any protection, and is usually seen as one of the worst cases covered by a set of headphones high.
