This is a different year for Apple, for its events and even for its products. COVID-19 has created some confusion in the productive chains and this was seen in the event that took place yesterday.
At a time when it is normal for new iPhones to emerge, Apple limited the news and focused only on 2 types of products. The Apple Watch was king, but there was no more to show.
The Apple event, called Times Flies, took place yesterday and brought to the public all the news that the brand has been preparing in recent months. The news was not certain, but the rumors turned out to be true and true.
Apple Watch Series 6, a new watch
The first big news that was presented was the new Apple Watch Series 6. It presents some important news, many focused on the hardware and what it is capable of offering users.
With a new processor, which makes it faster and more efficient, this watch can now measure users' blood oxygen levels. These levels will be recorded and will ensure active monitoring.
A novelty is in the new Solo Loop straps. These do not require any type of closure and adapt to the wrist of any user. Available in various colors and in various sizes, which are a novelty that did not yet exist on the market.
Another novelty is that now the Apple Watch dispenses with the iPhone to pair. With Family Setup, any home watch can be paired, set, and used without its owner having an Apple phone.
Also on the watch faces Apple decided to invest. Now there are even more proposals, some adapted to various time zones and that change with geographical location.
The new Apple Watch Series 6 arrives in Portugal on September 18 and will have a base price of 439 euros.

This new watch combines the dual-core S5 SiP processor, being 2 times faster than the Apple Watch Series 3. It allows you to make calls, send messages and is equipped with several sensors.
This version includes an accelerometer, heart rate sensor, compass, gyroscope, motion sensors, fall detection. In the field of the screen, it has what now equips the new 6 Series.

Apple One: service package that joins Apple's offer
Services are now an essential part of Apple's offering. These have grown and increased in the number of proposals. Therefore, the company decided to create a subscription package that adds them.
It includes the popular services Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, Apple Arcade, Apple News Plus, and iCloud. Of course, it also adds the Apple Fitness Plus, which many were expecting.
With three levels of offer, it goes from the individual user to families with a maximum of 5 users. The prices are more attractive and affordable.
In Portugal, there will only be the Individual and Family plans, for up to 5 people, with a cost of € 11.95 and € 16.95, respectively. The Apple One arrives in our country in the fall.

iPad 8: one of the fastest tablets on the market
In addition to smart watches, Apple also focused this event on its new tablet. The iPad 8 is renewing an increasingly interesting proposal that has more and more processing power.
This feature is now based on the A12, which is 40% faster than its predecessor, the A11. This evolution places this tablet above the competition and makes it even more interesting in the field of performance.
According to Apple, the iPad 8 was created to provide users with an even more complete user experience by offering maximum performance. There are no changes in design compared to the previous model (the iPad 7).
The size of the IPS LCD screen is also 10.2 ″. The home button supports TouchID, which brings security and privacy to this new device.
Apple revealed that this iPad offers a battery life of 10 hours. Apple has incorporated an 8 MP FaceTime camera which will be important for video conferencing. As for the colors, Apple has not made any disclosures.
The iPad 8 will be priced from 399 euros in our market. The tablet can be ordered today and availability will begin on Friday.

iPad Air: a complete makeover of another tablet
The last proposal Apple revealed was the iPad Air, which was also totally revamped and now has a much closer look to the iPad Pro. With the same size, it is now possible to have a larger usable area.
The presence of Touch ID in this tablet changes the paradigm of Apple. It begins to roll to the side, leaving the normal position next to the screen. This is naturally improved and is faster and safer.
Another change that was revealed was the SoC of this tablet. The Bionic A14 manages to be more powerful and faster. This is then reflected in everything you can give to users. Improvements in this field are immediately visible.
Something that many expected for the iPad Air finally happens. Its connection port has finally migrated to USB-C and it's even faster. In addition to this, we also have all the accessories that we are used to seeing on the iPad.
This new Apple tablet arrives next month and has an entry price of 679 euros in our country.
