Apple’s spring loaded event

Throughout the pandemic, people have been turning to all kinds of ways to keep themselves entertained. One such way has been the humble podcast. Apple’s had a podcast app for some time, but they have decided to spice things up by adding a subscription option to allow podcasters to monetise their content. Alongside this new feature, the Podcast app has been redesigned to allow for easier access to new content, by including a Channels feature that recommends shows based upon your interests.

Apple’s latest accessory is a handy one. Combining visal, haptic and audio feedback, you are able to track down that set of keys you keep losing with ease. Similar tools such as the Tile have been around for some time, and the AirTags rumours have been circulating for at least a year. Still, it is nice that they’ve finally been released, and many people will be appreciative of their purpose.

AirTags can be purchased now for contactless delivery, and start at £29 for a single AirTag.

The iMac has been redesigned! Coming with a burst of colour options, the iMac has had a radical redesign that has allowed it to drop 50% of its volume. It’s a tiny 11.5mm thin. The display is 4.5K, meaning you can view images and videos in crystal clarity. The screen also boasts True Tone and an anti-reflective coating. The iMac features Apple’s proprietary M1 chip, two thunderbolt ports, 2 usb-c ports, and a magnetic rear power connector.

In addition to the iMac itself, it comes with a new Magic Keyboard that finally includes the Touch ID that everyone wanted. The keyboards are also available in the same range of colours as the iMac.

The new iMac can be ordered from the 30th April. It will become available in the latter half of May at an entry-level price point of £1,249.
