Apple has announced its latest lineup, which includes major rollouts for the iPad Air, MacBook Air, and Mac Studio. Packed with new chips, enhanced AI capabilities, and improved efficiency, these devices are designed to handle everything from intensive gaming to creative projects. Whether you’re a content creator or power user, there’s something for everyone in this release.
Beyond performance, Apple is also prioritising sustainability by incorporating recycled materials and transitioning to 100% fibre-based packaging to eliminate plastic. As part of its Apple 2030 commitment, the company is working on reducing its environmental footprint across all products. If you’re considering an upgrade from your old version, here’s everything you need to know.
iPad Air
The iPad Air is now available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes, powered by the M3 chip, offering nearly twice the speed of the previous M1 model. Whether you’re editing photos or multitasking, you will notice a big performance boost thanks to Apple Intelligence. This includes AI-driven features like the Clean Up tool in Photos, Genmoji, handwriting recognition, and much more.
Plus, it supports the new Magic Keyboard, a great laptop alternative, along with the Apple Pencil Pro for precision and creativity. The 13-inch model has a larger display for more workspace, while the 11-inch remains ultra-portable, making them both great options for students and professionals. Pricing starts at RM2,799 for the 11-inch and RM3,699 for the 13-inch.
MacBook Air
MacBook Air just got a serious update with the M4 chip, delivering a faster and more efficient laptop. Expect smoother performances for tasks like coding as well as video editing, all while maintaining its impressive 18-hour battery life. Also, the addition of a 12MP Centre Stage camera ensures clearer video calls, keeping you perfectly framed during any meetings.
And the big aesthetic change? The new Sky Blue colour has a metallic light blue finish that shifts depending on the light. This joins the existing colour options, including midnight, starlight, and silver. At lower prices, the 13-inch MacBook Air starts at RM4,499, while the 15-inch model starts at RM5,499. Customers can order it soon in-store, online, and in the Apple Store app.
Mac Studio
Apple’s most powerful desktop yet, the Mac Studio is now equipped with M4 Max and the brand-new M3 Ultra chip. It delivers insane performance for 3D rendering, AI research, as well as data processing–all within a compact, quiet design. It also integrates Apple Intelligence, allowing for seamless AI-enhanced productivity with Siri improvements and Writing Tools.
For professionals who need some serious computing power, it also features Thunderbolt 5 connectivity for high-speed data, supports up to 512GB of unified memory (the most within a personal computer), and 16TB of storage. This makes it the perfect choice for engineers, photographers, filmmakers, or anyone with demanding workflows. Prices start at RM8,999.
