This is the MacBook Air 2022 with Apple M2 chip and more

We were secretly hoping for hope: Apple also announced the MacBook Air 2022 tonight. The wafer-thin laptop is powered by the M2, Apple’s (also) brand new chip. The M2 is much faster than the M1 processor, which powers the previous MacBook Air (from 2020).

Furthermore, the new MacBook Air has a refreshed design with much thinner bezels. There is also a notch available. Furthermore, an old acquaintance comes into play: MagSafe is making a comeback on the MacBook Air 2022.

watchOS 9 bets on health

watchOS 8 was a relatively minor update, but that doesn’t fly for watchOS 9. The new software update for the Apple Watch focuses on health. From now on, for example, the accelerometer and gyroscope are used to measure exactly how you exercise (and walk).

This is useful, because it makes your personal health statistics much more reliable. In addition, watchOS 9 introduces so-called sleep stages. These phases indicate which sleep phase you are in, such as REM or deep sleep.

macOS 13 is called Ventura and brings overview

Apple also took the opportunity to announce a new macOS version. We have now arrived at version 13, which is nicknamed Ventura. Ventura mainly focuses on multitasking.

Take the new Stage Manager feature. This feature allows you to better focus on the app you are currently using by putting it centrally. Other apps are moved to the left side of the screen.

iPadOS 16 is chasing the Mac

Apple closed the evening with iPadOS 16. The new iPad version focuses on collaboration. From now on you can, for example, directly share files with others from documents, or start a FaceTime call.

Also new is the Free Form app. This app can best be compared with an online whiteboard. Together with classmates or colleagues you can jot down ideas, fantasies and notes on a blank canvas (at the start).
