Apple hosted its April product launch event from Copertino, California with many new products, product updates and even some changes to existing services. During its April 20th announcement, Apple primarily focused on updates to Apple iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, iMac and introduced a new accessory line called the Air Tag. While this event didn’t announce new iPhone models (just a new iPhone 12 Purple), there were some significant product announcements. Here are our highlights from the Apple launch event:
