In the 178th episode, David and Donna recap everything Apple announced at its ‘Peek Performance’ event. From the iPhone SE and iPad Air with 5G support to the Mac Studio with the highest-powered chip available in an Apple computer, tune in for all the details!
Apple thrilled a lot of us during its March event with the debut of a new iPhone SE with 5G, a fifth-generation iPad Air with an M1 chip, and the powerful Studio Mac and Studio Display. Apple also teased the future release of an updated Mac Pro. The only thing that could’ve made the event more exciting would have been the confirmation of rumored updates to the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and the iMac. The iMac in particular could use an update since it's the only device in the Mac line that doesn’t have one of the newer Apple Silicon chips. Could newer versions of these three Macs make their debut in the late fall when Apple typically holds a Mac event? We’ll discuss the Macs that we didn’t see in today’s event and when we might be able to expect Apple to finally release them.

With improvements set to roll out with the fall 2021 release of iOS 15, Apple is aiming to change that.
