Apple’s Time Flies event may not have given us a look at the upcoming iPhones, but there was plenty to talk about on the hardware front. We got a couple of iPads and Apple Watches along with a new Apple One service that bundles Apple’s various subscription into one offering. We also know what chip the iPhone 12 series will utilise.

First up is the Apple Watch 6 series and the Apple Watch SE. The Apple Watch 6 features the same design as its predecessor but gets a ton of new sensors to allow for better sleep tracking and blood oxygen monitoring. The Apple Watch 6 start from USD 399, while the Apple Watch SE is priced starting from USD 279. The 8th Gen Apple iPad brings several improvements over its predecessor but maintains the same USD 329 price. The star of the show is the new Apple iPad Air and its 5nm A14 Bionic chipset. The new iPad Air will offer better performance than the iPad Pro and will start from USD 599. This is the second time Apple has introduced a new chip in the iPad Air before the iPhone.
