Apple Launch Week: New iPhones, M5 Macs, and a $599 MacBook Neo
"The week kicked off on Monday, March 2, with the iPhone 17e, the most affordable model in the iPhone 17 family. Apple positioned it squarely for people who want a current-generation iPhone without paying current-generation flagship prices. The A19 chip powers the device and includes Apple's C1X cellular modem, which the company said is twice as fast as the C1 modem in iPhone 16e."
"For the first time in the "e" lineup, iPhone 17e includes MagSafe support for wireless charging up to 15 watts and accessories. The device also includes the Action button, previously available only on Pro models, which users can customize to access the flashlight, camera, or other features. The base storage is 256GB, double the starting storage of iPhone 16e, at the same $599 price."
"Over three days, the company announced seven new products under the banner of its spring #AppleLaunch, touching everything from its cheapest laptop ever to the most powerful chips it has ever built for a notebook computer. Whether you're a student counting every dollar or a filmmaker rendering 8K footage, Apple has something new to put in front of you."
Apple's spring launch event introduced significant updates across its product lineup. The iPhone 17e brings MagSafe support, doubled storage at 256GB, and the A19 chip with improved cellular modem speeds to the affordable segment. The device features a 48-megapixel camera with 2x telephoto capability, Ceramic Shield 2 for enhanced durability, and satellite connectivity features. The iPad Air now incorporates the M4 chip, delivering improved performance. Additionally, Apple introduced the MacBook Neo as its most affordable laptop option, while also unveiling more powerful chips for professional notebook computers. These announcements target diverse user segments from budget-conscious students to professional content creators.
