Apple has announced the release of new MacBook models and new headphones. As well as a new music subscription service at $5 per month.

Like previous recent Apple events, the Apple Unleashed event was virtual, broadcast from Apple Park. Apple returned with rumored products like the MacBook Pro 2021 (14-inch), MacBook Pro 16-inch 2021, AirPods 3 and the HomePod mini in new colors. With all the rumored devices that might materialize before the end of this year, exciting times are ahead for Apple fans. But it's a lot to keep track of, so we've outlined everything you need to know about what could be announced at the next Apple event.

Apple launched two new MacBook Pro models on Monday, as well as a new generation of its AirPods wireless headphones. The new MacBook Pro laptops with 14- and 16-inch displays are powered by new chips. These models eliminate the "Touch Bar", which had aroused the grumbling of Apple fans, and reinstate several connectors, including the company's "MagSafe" power connector which had disappeared in recent years, angering some users.

Apple said the 14-inch model will start at $1,999 and the 16-inch model will start at $2,499. Both computers will be sold from next week, Apple said its two new high-powered chips are called M1 Pro and M1 Max. These chips are said to offer better performance than the company's previous M1 chips, while consuming less power than competing chips from companies like Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. Apple chip manager Johny Srouji said the M1 Max chip uses up to 100 watts less than other high-end laptop chips, resulting in better battery life. "It is the most powerful chip we have ever built," Srouji said of the M1 Max. Plus, Apple's new AirPods are sweat and water resistant, so they can be used during workouts. In addition, they will come with some sound characteristics that were previously found in the higher-end AirPods Pro. Apple has clarified that the new AirPods will cost $179 and will also be sold starting next week. Apple's new AirPods can be ordered online in the United States and more than 26 other countries and regions. The headphones will be available in stores starting October 26.

Along with the new AirPods, Apple announced better integration of Apple Music into Siri. Apple has launched a new Apple Music subscription for $ 4.99 per month that only works with Siri. A new feature including playlists optimized for use via Siri, the Apple brand voice assistant. As part of this, the company launched a new Apple Music subscription at $ 4.99 per month that only works with Siri. That's half the price of the standard subscription of $ 9.99 per month. The announcement briefly weighed on the shares of music streaming giant Spotify, which bounced back quickly, however. Apple stock, meanwhile, gained 1.3% to 146.65 dollars.
