Apple live-streamed its keynote event today and has released three new products along with a new subscription plan. The iPhone maker has released AirPods 3 and MacBook Pro models for its users at the event complete with new features and designs.

MacBook Pro

Two new models of MacBook Pro were released in today's event, a 14-inch, and a 16-inch model. The 14-inch version accompanies the M1 Pro chip, and the 16-inch model comes with an M1X chip. These chips are significant upgrades over the regular M1 processor, and Apple claims improved speed over the Intel-based models. Apple boasts "Liquid Retina XDR display, the best camera and audio ever in a Mac notebook, and all the ports you need" for its new MacBook Pro models.

Apple has announced its third generation of AirPods featuring spatial audio. The new AirPods comes after the release of its predecessor, AirPods 2, two years ago. The new generation AirPods feature improved design and features.

"By combining the power of the H1 chip with an Apple-designed acoustic system, the new AirPods use computational audio to deliver breakthrough sound with Adaptive EQ," claims Apple.  The most noteworthy feature of the AirPods 2 is that it is equipped with dynamic head tracking Spatial Audio support. This means that the earbuds can adjust the sound dynamically according to the movements of your head.

"Users can enjoy spatial audio featuring Dolby Atmos in Apple Music, movies, and TV shows, along with dynamic head tracking, across Apple devices," added the tech giant.  The AirPods are resistant to sweat and water and are fitted with a force sensor for easy and intuitive control of music and phone calls. The earbuds feature five hours of listening time with Spatial Audio enabled.

Voice Plan

Apple unveiled a new subscription plan for only $4.99 per month. You get full access to a massive library of songs from Apple Music. However, you can only control it with Siri. You want a dinner party playlist and Siri will customize a playlist for you. You can access varieties of playlists and every station across Apple Music with this new subscription plan.

All three new devices feature long battery life and superior performance compared to their predecessors.  A detailed review will only be possible later.
