Happy Anniversary To Sbeve
Apple had another product event ready to go earlier today, so soon after the launch of the iPhone 13, with the focus now being turned to refreshed AirPods and the MacBook.
The MacBooks slated to launch soon were revealed to have brand new chips that promised power and capabilities miles beyond models that had just come out late last year, as well as more than the one USB-C port on older models and new features, which the internet widely discussed throughout the day.

For the first time in five years, the MacBook Pro looks like it was designed by and for people who love computers.

While there was plenty of praise to be heaped on the MacBook, it was eventually met with equal criticism when the fated moment came: the price reveal. With hundreds of thousands watching with anticipation, the price points were shown and updated in the Apple webstore, allowing people to truly understand how expensive the newest line can be depending on the model.

Also of note is Apple once again being able to sell something for an astronomically high mark-up, with a cleaning cloth selling for $19 that reminded some of the infamous $999 Apple Pro Stand.
