The boss of the tech giant usually leads around an hour and a half from product to product at the traditional event in September.

Then there is a casual “One more thing” and the crowd breaks out in loud cheers.

Apple Keynote 2020: The new products

But Corona does everything differently.

Instead of a live event, there is streaming, instead of a show stage, there has to be a long walk in the snazzy new company headquarters and instead of tension there is a clear announcement: "The event", Cook warned the Apple adepts who were connected around the world right from the start. revolve "exclusively around the

Apple

Watch and the

iPad

".

The

iPhone

,

eagerly awaited by many disciples, was now

off the table.

But like many other corporations,

Apple

is also having

delivery problems due to the corona pandemic.

After all, the Californians have their hardware largely built by the Chinese contract manufacturer

Foxconn

.

And he had to close his plants completely in the spring.

So iPhone fans will have to wait a few more weeks.

And with what Apple presented on Tuesday, most of them will probably get around to some extent.

We have compiled the most important announcements, the expected prices and the estimated availabilities.

Apple Watch 6

The announcement of the latest generation of the globally dominating smartwatch was considered safe in advance by practically all augurs.

With the new version, the company provides a function for measuring

oxygen saturation

in the blood

with a constantly active altimeter

.

Put simply, sensors in the bottom of the housing determine the light reflected by the blood.

A special algorithm then calculates the oxygen content in the blood.

Apple

has had the reliability of the data checked in extensive medical studies.  

In addition to aluminum cases in the previously known options of silver, space gray and gold, the

Apple

Watch Series 6 should

now also be available in blue and red.

There are also the stainless steel models in graphite and yellow gold.

The company also announced a variant with a titanium case in black or the corresponding titanium gray tone.

There are also numerous new tapes.

Prices start at 418.15 euros for the GPS version and 515.65 euros for the variant with a mobile phone connection and can be ordered immediately.

The delivery should start on Friday (September 18).

Apple Watch SE

With the new entry-level variant, the company is primarily targeting the younger target group and older people who do not

have

an

iPhone

.

For this purpose,

Apple has developed

a special family configuration.

It makes it possible, for example, to trigger an emergency call at any time.

The prices should be at 291.45 euros (GPS) and 340.20 euros (Cellular).

Orders can also be placed immediately; delivery will start on Friday (September 18).

Apple iPad Air

As expected, the

new

iPad Air has

a completely new design.

In addition, there is a slightly larger display at 10.8 inches.

The home button is omitted.

Apple

has

integrated

the corresponding

Touch ID

sensor

into the top of the housing.

In addition, the new iPad Air has a rear camera drilled to 12 MP and a 7 MP

FaceTime

HD front camera and a USB-C port.

#Apple has unveiled its latest addition to the #iPadAir lineup.

Apple has given

the iPad Air the brand new

A14

chip, which is currently the fastest processor.

In the past few years, the hippest semiconductor was actually always

reserved for

the

iPhone

.

But in view of the delay in the iPhone 12,

Apple is

now stepping on the gas with its popular tablet.

In addition to the well-known silver, space gray and rose gold, the iPad Air will also come in green and sky blue.

The prices start at 632.60 euros (WiFi) and 769.10 euros (Cellular).

iPad 8

With the

iPad 8

,

Apple

is targeting

the entry-level segment.

It has a 10.2 display and should be available in the colors silver, space gray and gold.

Thanks to the somewhat older

A12

chip, it should be significantly faster than the comparable predecessor model.

Prices start at € 369.40 (WiFi) and € 505.90 (Cellular), and you can order now.

Apple One

In addition to the turbo chip for the iPad Air, the new subscription service is probably the biggest surprise of Tuesday evening.

According to the plans, users can subscribe to all services of Californians future in a package from

Spotify

-Konkurrenten

Apple Music

on the TV service

Apple TV +

and the Spieleabo

Apple Arcade

,

Apple News +

to the online storage service

iCloud

and also first introduced on Tuesday sports

.

Depending on the scope, the different subscriptions should be between 14.95 dollars (individual) and 19.95 dollars (family).

The new

Apple

Fitness +

offer in particular

could change the market.

With the service, which can also be booked individually, the Group intends to regularly deliver new training plans in the future.

For providers like the

Freeletics

app,

which is also popular in Germany,

Apple

's entry into the market is likely to be

a heavy blow.

At launch, the service will initially be available in the USA, Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
