Apple Announcement 4-20-21

Announcements include:

  • AirTags - tracks items not people
  • AppleTV+ new season of productions 
  • AppleTV 4K next gen with A12 Bionic chip with improved remote
  • M1 Macs (bold colors on back & accessories) 24" 4.5K retina thin bezel display 
  • M1 iPad Pro with retina display in 11" or 12.9" sizes 
  • and more ;-D 
A big change is the M1 Mac power adapter now includes an Ethernet port. This might be ideal but not convenient to where your router is located. 

Not included in today's announcement is we can expect iPad OS 14.5 and iOS 14.5 to be rolled out next week.  Mashable offers this review Apple will release iOS 14.5 next week. Download it for these new features


What we are excited about ... 
Tom mentioned that an iMac is a shared device and an iPad/iPhone is a personal device.

  • My pet peeve is how Photos does not let end users control how our Albums are listed. There are some ways to Search for photos but Apple could have a better way for us to show albums in alphabetical order, or most recent changes.
