A couple of launches took place. Here are some highlights of each product launched.
Apple Watch:
The Series 6 Apple Watch was launched in the Time Flies Event. As always, the specs here justify it to be the best smartwatch on the planet. It is powered by the S6 chipset based on the A13 Bionic, which is on the iPhone 11. It also has an always-on-display, increased accuracy in fitness tracking and Apple has also continued the legacy of SOS in the watch. The software here also is an upgrade: WatchOS 7. This time, Apple hasn\’t missed out on the SpO2 Sensor (Blood Oxygen sensor) as well.
Along with the Series 6, the more affordable Apple Watch SE was also launched. This has almost the same, very handy features as the Series 6, but with a little lighter chipset, the S5.
The prices of the Series 6 and SE are $399 and $279 respectively, which is really good pricing considering how much they provide. However, the price becomes less exciting in India, due to import duties.

iPad:
The 8th Gen iPad along with the new iPad Air was launched in the event. The latest generation iPad is powered by the highly-capable A12 Bionic Processor, which has a 6-Core CPU and a 4-Core GPU, making the performance phenomenal. This along with iPad OS and the accessories (Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard) makes it a great productivity house.
We also got to see the new iPad Air, which will surely blow anyone\’s mind. This machine is powered by the latest A14 Bionic Chipset, which has amazing CPU and GPU performance. Not just performance, it has also got a full-screen display, making the experience much more immersive. And guess what, Apple has also retained the Touch ID, which is now integrated with the power button. For now, this RULES the productivity segment.
The prices of the 8th Gen iPad and the new iPad Air are $329 and $599 respectively. Special mention: The 8th Gen iPad costs $299 for students (Education).
