Thoughts on NEW Apple Watch and iPad Air

The New Apple iPad and Apple Watch Series 6 Announced: A Game-Changing Upgrade for Fitness and Productivity

The latest announcements from Apple have left many excited, particularly with regards to their new iPad and Apple Watch Series 6. The new iPad starts at $329 for the 32GB Wi-Fi model and $459 for the Wi-Fi plus cellular model, making it an attractive option for those looking for a high-performance tablet without breaking the bank.

The upgrade that matters most, however, is what's on the inside - a massive bump in processing power from the 2016 A10 Fusion chip to the more recent A12 Bionic chip. The new chip delivers 40% faster performance and twice the graphics capability, making the entry-level iPad up to two times faster than the top-selling Windows laptop, up to three times faster than the selling Android tablet, and up to six times faster than the top-selling Chromebook. This significant upgrade should provide a seamless user experience for those who need power and speed.

One of the most exciting features of the new Apple Watch Series 6 is its built-in blood oxygen sensor, which measures blood oxygen levels - a vital piece of information related to breathing and circulation. The feature is very relevant in today's times, particularly with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I recently purchased a portable device that measures oxygen levels on my fingers, upon the recommendation of my dad, who's a doctor. He says it's a good device to have around because it can warn for early signs of a respiratory disease.

The built-in altimeter in the Apple Watch Series 6 and its always-on display work together seamlessly, allowing users to display their elevation in real-time when they're on a climb. The display is also 2.5 times brighter than the previous model outdoors, making it easier to see in sunny conditions. Speaking of displays, the Apple Watch Edition will be available in new aluminum finishes, including blue and product red, which are my personal favorites.

For those who want an older Apple Watch without breaking the bank, there's now an official cheaper offering called the Apple Watch SE. It has elements of the Series 6, including fitness and health tracking features, but lacks the newer always-on display, ECG, and blood oxygen level monitoring capabilities. The Apple Watch SE is made from recycled aluminum, making it a more eco-friendly option.

Apple has also introduced a new kind of band called Solo Loop, which looks like the Sports Band but is just one continuous piece. There's also a Braided Solo Loop available, as well as a range of new watch faces, including the Memoji face that I think I'll rock next. Both Apple Watches are available starting Friday and can be pre-ordered starting today.

In addition to these hardware announcements, Apple has introduced several software updates, including iOS 14, iPadOS 14, WatchOS 7, and tvOS 14. These updates promise improved performance, new features, and a seamless user experience across all Apple devices.

Finally, Apple has announced two new services: Fitness+ and Apple One. The Fitness+ service is priced at $9.99 per month and includes guided fitness workouts from trained professionals. Apple One, on the other hand, bundles some or all of their popular services, including Apple Music, TV+, Arcade, and iCloud storage, and can be purchased for $14.99 per month or $29.95 per year.

Overall, these announcements have left many excited about what's to come from Apple in the world of technology. Whether you're looking for a high-performance tablet or an innovative smartwatch, there's something for everyone in this latest lineup of products from Apple.
