<p>The first MacBook pro with an M1 processor has been today been announced by Apple. With a new custom ARM M1 Processor built with Apple silicon, the MacBook Pro takes a new twist unlike previous versions since the first 2008 MacBook pro, to the Retina and Intel versions.</p>



<p>However, just like all previous MacBook pro versions since 2016, the new MacBook pro follows the previous generation design with the same retina display, touch bar, and touch ID.</p>



<p>Built with Performance in mind, Apple notes the power of the new M1 processor as a multi-function powerful variant that gives the new Macbook pro to outperform any of its predecessors that run Intel processors.</p>



<p>By CPU performance the processor is 2.8 times faster, and 5times faster in GPU performance as compared to any other processor in the world as affirmed by Apple. </p>



<p>In comparison with the previous generation Macbook Pros, Apple confirmed that the new MacBook Pro can play 8K resolution videos in Davinci Resolve without buffering for a second. </p>



<p>With <a href="https://techpointmag.com/macbooks-that-can-run-macos-big-sur/" class="rank-math-link">macOS Big Sur</a> as the base supported operating system, the M1 processor-powered MacBook pro is faster to the dot with 4K and 8K resolution support. And so, this is a new trend for future releases that now have a benchmark trend to follow.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The new MacBook Pro: What Excites most</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="500" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/new-macbook-pro-ports.jpg" alt="new macbook pro ports" class="wp-image-12473" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/new-macbook-pro-ports.jpg 750w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/new-macbook-pro-ports-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/new-macbook-pro-ports-450x300.jpg 450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></figure>



<p>By hardware, Apple has maintained its previous generation design with dual thunderbolt ports on the Macbook pro and an alternate placed auxiliary port. But this is not just any usual ports, USB 4 is the supported port standard with 40Gbps of average transfer speeds.</p>



<p>Internally, a 3.3GBps 2TB SSD disk makes the new Macbook Pro a faster machine with better system response times. More so, with 16GB RAM smooth flow of application processes is facilitated from boot time.</p>



<p>But this time around, the <a href="https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/" class="rank-math-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">13-inch MacBook Pro</a> ships with an optional Intel i5 or i7 processor contrary to the previous generation trend of i5 processors equipped by all 13inch versions. More so, battery efficiency is a key point for the release with 20hours of constant battery life guaranteed.</p>



<p>On the other hand, the 16-inch Macbook Pro equips an Intel i7 or i9 processor, then levels its runtime memory with 64GB RAM and up to 8GB of SSD Storage with similar disk performance benchmark results of 3.3GBps.</p>



<p>Priced at <strong>$1299 </strong>for the 13-Inch Macbook pro, the 16-inch borrows a higher price tag of <strong>$2399</strong> with orders currently open through the Apple website. Nonetheless, here is a summary of the new Macbook Pro Specs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">13-Inch Macbook pro Specs</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="371" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/macbook-pro.jpg" alt="first macbook pro with an m1 processor" class="wp-image-12472" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/macbook-pro.jpg 750w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/macbook-pro-300x148.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></figure>

<p>IOS 14 is officially available for download on <a href="https://techpointmag.com/new-2020-iphone-se-unveiled/" data-type="post" data-id="9947">iPhones</a>. The new Operating system succeeds IOS 13 with a blend of new features to its successive code name. Widgets, better security, and broad compatibility with Apps, all match the new OS style.</p>



<p>For the first time in years since the initial IOS launch, IOS 14 offers a gateway to organizing home screens without any 3rd party Apps installed to accomplish the task.</p>



<p>Now, less frequent Apps can be pushed back to the Apple library, and upfront, more frequently used Apps take over the homescreen with the ability to display notifications and relevant information through Widgets.</p>



<p>Similarly, iPad OS14 is the latest mobile operating system designed for iPads. In 2019, Apple split IOS and iPad OS to guarantee a much better user experience for iPad users, and weigh on a good competitive scale as a full computer experience.</p>



<p>Just like IOS 14, iPad OS14 has a line up of fresh features including the ability to organize your home screen with ease, better search capabilities, and support for an external mouse or keyboard.</p>



<p>But, with a new user experience guaranteed when you upgrade to IOS 14 on your iPhone or OS14 on your iPad, does your device support the new Operating system family? We find out.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">List of iPhones compatible with IOS 14</h2>

<p>Apple Watch Series 6 is now official having lifted from the launch pad yesterday during the Time Flies Event hosted by Apple. The new Smart Apple Watch comes in a design similar to that of the <a href="https://techpointmag.com/apple-launches-iphone-xr-xs-xs-max/" data-type="post" data-id="5276">Series 5</a> that was launched last year (2019).</p>



<p>Headlining a shot of improved features and under the hood Internals, Apple Watch Series 6 brings to play a health sensor as its top best feature. The new health sensor measures oxygen levels by using your blood color to calculate current readings.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="500" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Apple-Watch-Series-6-Oxygen-Levels.jpg" alt="Apple-Watch-Series-6-Oxygen-Levels" class="wp-image-11729" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Apple-Watch-Series-6-Oxygen-Levels.jpg 750w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Apple-Watch-Series-6-Oxygen-Levels-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Apple-Watch-Series-6-Oxygen-Levels-450x300.jpg 450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></figure>



<p>Interestingly, the watch further captures background readings, this means, even if you sleep, you&#8217;re able to see your blood oxygen levels calculated throughout the night.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Best Apple Watch Series 6 features</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>New Health Sensor able to measure oxygen saturation</li><li>New GMT face with multiple time zones</li><li>A new bunch of Memoji Faces </li><li>Clasp-less bands</li><li>Cardio fitness alerts&nbsp;ie: use Vo2 max reading (maximum oxygen consumption during exercise )&nbsp; to monitor cardio levels and notify you when low</li><li>Real-time elevation (Track your fitness exercises)</li><li>New Colors, Same Design as the Series 5</li><li>Fitness Plus (Subscribe to guided daily Workouts)</li><li>Family Setup (set different Watches without an iPhone for each)</li></ul>



<p>Performance-wise, Series 6 comes with a new S6 system based on an A13 Bionic chipset––same chip equipped by the iPhone 11. The processor gives it a 20% boost faster than the S5 system equipped by Apple series 5.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="469" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/apple-watch-series-6-processor.jpg" alt="Apple Watch Series 6 Chipset" class="wp-image-11721" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/apple-watch-series-6-processor.jpg 750w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/apple-watch-series-6-processor-300x188.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /><figcaption>The S6 System setup that houses an A13 Bionic Chipset</figcaption></figure>



<p>With a new range of available colors, a stretchable band loop made out of silicone, and the ability to set up multiple Apple Watches with the Family Setup option. Series 6 is by features, a complete redefinition of Apple watches since their initial launch in 2015.</p>



<p>Retailing at <strong>$399</strong>, Apple Watch Series 6 is <a href="http://apple.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">currently available for pre-order</a> and availability starts on 18th September 2020. Having launched with an SE version (Lite edition), you can buy one at $279 as it shares the same pre-order and availability window with the Series 6.</p>

<p>macOS Big Sur is the latest Apple Operating system release designed for computers. Replacing <a href="https://techpointmag.com/adding-new-fonts-on-mac-with-font-book/" data-type="post" data-id="10693">macOS Catalina 10.15</a>, Big Sur is expected to launch with a pile of fresh features better than any macOS release ever developed.</p>



<p>In fact, Big Sur shares its launch path with IOS 14 for iPhones supporting the iPhone 8, X, <a href="https://techpointmag.com/iphone-xr-cheap-dual-sim-smartphone/" data-type="post" data-id="5294">Xr</a>, Xs, X max, and <a href="https://techpointmag.com/new-2020-iphone-se-unveiled/" data-type="post" data-id="9947">SE</a>. Contrary to IOS which ditches older iPhones, macOS Big Sur supports MacBooks as old as 2013 models.</p>



<p>But unlike macOS Catalina that initially supported all Macs from 2012 &#8212; present. <a href="https://www.apple.com/macos/big-sur-preview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Big Sur support</a> is trimmed to Retina display MacBooks that rose to popularity in 2013, and here is a full list of MacBooks that can run Big Sur.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MacBooks that can run macOS Big Sur</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Your MacBook run macOS Big Sur</h2>



<p>Well, If your MacBook is not a 2013,2014,2015,2016,2017,2018,2019,2020 or latest model, then it can&#8217;t run Big Sur. This is due to the operating system&#8217;s minimum hardware requirements that are dedicated to only newer models.</p>



<p>So, If you own an older MacBook, the best path is running <a href="https://techpointmag.com/take-screenshot-on-mac-os-catalina/" data-type="post" data-id="9259">macOS Catalina</a> or Mojave that rank as great Big Sur alternatives with slightly fewer features than the new Apple OS. Nonetheless, once BigSur is rolled out, we shall publish some of its most exciting features brought to play.</p>

<p>Apple has officially launched the cheapest iPhone on its current supported devices list, the 2020 iPhone SE is an affordable entrant priced at a catchy price tag of $399 (Approx UGX 1,500,000) away from the regular Apple pricing where the <a href="https://techpointmag.com/iphone-xr-cheap-dual-sim-smartphone/">iPhone Xr </a>was the brand&#8217;s last release with an attractive price tag.</p>



<p>With a 4.7 inch screen, Wi-Fi 6, a physical home button, Touch ID, an A13 bionic chip and a single camera model. The 2020 iPhone SE is the definition of a budget-friendly iPhone.</p>



<p>As per the launch pad, the 2020 iPhone SE is the long-awaited iPhone 9 with a different code name, this is due to the fact that it replaces the iPhone 8, and brings to play a physical home button with Touch ID that was ditched on the iPhone X and iPhone 11 series.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2020 iPhone SE Specifications</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-table is-style-regular"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Announced</strong></td><td>April 15 2020</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Display</strong></td><td>4.7 Inch, Retina HD</td></tr><tr><td><strong>IOS Version</strong></td><td>13.0 &#8211; current</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Rear Camera</strong></td><td>12MP, w/ 4K up to 60fps</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Front Camera</strong></td><td>7MP, w/ 1080 up to 30fps</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Storage</strong></td><td>64GB, 128GB, 256GB</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Available Colors</strong></td><td>Black, Red, White</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Price</strong></td><td>$399 $499 $549</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>With an A13 Bionic chip stated as the fastest chip for a Smartphone, the iPhone SE is perfect for mobile photography, gaming, and AR experiences just like the iPhone 11 and 11 pro that house the same chip.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The 2020 iPhone SE Availability </h3>



<p>In the US, the 2020 iPhone SE will be available for pre-order starting April 17th, and orders will start shipping on 24th April 2020. For International customers, the iPhone SE will as well start shipping on the same date.</p>



<p>In Uganda, the iPhone SE will be available on <a href="https://techpointmag.com/jumia-anniversary/">Jumia</a> by May since it raves as the fastest e-commerce service at the moment alongside Amazon and eBay drop shipping services like <a href="https://techpointmag.com/amazon-shipping-africa-dhl-eshop/">DHL eShop</a>, bazebo and Masikini.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apple is working with Lg to get foldable phones to its line as We&#8217;re still awaiting the first OLED iPhone to ship with the iPhone X in less than a month, and new rumors are surfacing about a future iPhone with a foldable display.And now apple working with LG definately proves the net Iphone maybe foldble.</p>
<p>According to The Bell, Apple is working with LG and not Samsung to create an iPhone with a foldable OLED panel.</p>
<p>Apple currently relies on Samsung as its sole supplier of OLED displays used in the upcoming iPhone X, although the company is working on adding LG to the mix in an effort to increase production and lower cost.</p>
<p>As for flexible OLED panels, the report notes that Samsung may introduce its first smartphone to use the technology as soon as next year while Apple doesn&#8217;t expect to bring the technology into production through LG until 2020 which may mean a 2021 launch.</p>
<p>Apple has also been said to be considering Japan Display for the future iPhone technology, although we&#8217;re still very early in the development process for such a product.</p>
