2020 iPad Pro

The iPad Pro will ship in two sizes, including an 11-inch model and a 12.9-inch model, beginning next week. The 11-inch iPad Pro will start at $799 while the 12.9-inch model will start at $999.

The new iPads feature a lidar scanner that can be used to measure the distance to objects in a room. Apple says this will allow for "a whole new class" of augmented reality experiences on the iPad. Augmented reality allows you to place digital objects on top of the real world, and Apple has been investing a lot in the technology but has previously used cameras instead of lidar sensors to enable it. There are additional cameras, too, including a wide-angle lens that captures in 4K and an ultra wide angle lens with zoom that lets you fit more people and objects into a picture. These features are also on Apple's newest iPhones.

Apple's new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro will be available in May for $299 for the 11-inch model and $349 for the 12.9-inch model. It includes a trackpad for the first time, which will let people use a cursor, just like on a laptop, to navigate around on the display. A software update that includes support for the trackpad will be released on March 24, Apple said.

The new iPad has been rumored for months, but there have been recent questions about whether or not Apple would be able to launch it in the spring after suffering production slowdowns in China due to the coronavirus. Apple also took the unusual move of announcing the new iPad through a press release instead its traditional spring in-person event.

2020 MacBook Air

The 2020 MacBook Air has a redesigned keyboard.

Apple's new MacBook Air has a redesigned Magic Keyboard using the same style keyboard design that was introduced in the 16-inch MacBook Pro. It finally fixes lots of the issues people experienced with the keyboard, including jamming and accidental presses.

It starts at $999 and is available to order beginning Wednesday and will arrive in stores starting next week. But, unlike earlier models, Apple is doubling the storage from 128GB to 256GB on the entry-level models. That means you'll have more space for apps and movies than you normally would at the $999 price point.

Other features include improved microphones, again something we saw on the 16-inch MacBook Pro, so that you sound clearer when you talk online with other people, like over FaceTime. It also includes support for up to a 6K external display with new Thunderbolt 3 ports, new stereo speakers and support for up to 2TB of storage. It uses a Touch ID fingerprint pad, just like the other MacBook Air products, that you can use for logging in to the laptop or for making purchases online.

Apple Stores are closed

Apple's announcements come at a time when things are far from normal. As the coronavirus spreads, Apple Stores around the world are closed until March 27 and are closed indefinitely in the U.S. They're open in China. That means most customers who are interested in the products, at least for now, may not be able to go and try them before making a purchase.
