Apple held it's annual event on Tuesday, but without the usual new iPhone announcements. Instead, the event focused on other hardware, including Apple Watches and iPads. Tomorrow, Apple will launch iOS14, iPadOS, and watchOS7.
One of the highlight's of the event was the new iPad Air, which was significantly updated and now resembles the iPad Pro. Apple resurrected the iPad Air last year as a mid-priced option between the regular iPad and the more expensive iPad Pro. The newer version comes with Apple's latest bionic chip, plus new colors and a revamped Touch ID.
