New iPhone, iPad and processor: Apple held its first presentation in 2022

Apple has unveiled an updated "budget" iPhone SE with 5G, a new version of the iPad Air tablet and a new processor.

Earlier, the company suspended sales and new deliveries in Russia in response to Russia's "special operation" in Ukraine, and also restricted the use of its services, including Apple Pay.

Apple organized its first presentation in 2022, showcasing several updated products.

Third generation of the cheapest iPhone in the Apple line is the iPhone SE. The model received an A15 Bionic processor and supports next-generation 5G networks. The design is almost the same as the second-generation model, but it still looks like the iPhone 8: a 4.7-inch screen, large bezels around it, and a Touch ID button. The cheapest configuration price with 64GB of internal storage starts at $ 429 in the US.

The new version of the iPad Air tablet has an average price category on the Apple line. The 5G device also supports its Apple M1 processor, which has been used on more expensive iPad Pro tablets since last year, and they first appeared on Macs in 2020. The new iPad Air starts at $ 599 in the US.

The M1 Ultra processor is the next generation of Apple processors. It was the fourth for the company after the previously released M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max.

As The Verge explains, Apple was able to combine the power of two M1 Max on a single processor. According to Apple, the M1 Ultra processor is eight times more powerful than the “normal M1” processor. Mac Studio is a new Apple device and an addition to the line of Mac computers. The Verge called it similar to the Mac Mini, yet much more powerful. The computer has an Ethernet port for Internet connection, two USB-A ports, two or four (depending on configuration) USB-C ports, HDMI and a headset, as well as an SD card slot.

Apple Studio Display is Apple's new 27-inch 5K monitor.
