Grading all the new hardware Apple released in 2016

As 2016 comes to a close, we're looking back at the year in tech - and it's impossible to look at the industry as a whole without assessing its star player, one of the most valuable companies on earth: Apple.

Apple's financials are stronger than ever, thanks in large part to its booming iPhone business, but we thought it would be interesting to ditch the numbers for a moment and just focus on the products Apple released this year - specifically, all the new hardware. (Software is equally important, and worth an evaluation, but it's impossible to compare with hardware. They're apples and oranges. Let's move on.)

This year, Apple released a new iPad, a new Apple Watch, a couple of new MacBook Pro models, and for the first time, three new iPhone models in a single year. Let's take a look.
