Mac

Ever since the famous Bondi Blue iMac debuted in August 1998, Apple's all-in-one desktop computer has been setting standards in gorgeous design and powerful performance. Apple's innovation was clear back then as it is today - the iMac was the first Macintosh to drop the floppy disk in favor of USB, and its colorful aesthetic set it apart as a playful pretender in a world of staid beige boxes. The entry-level 21.5 inch iMac is unchanged from 2017. Intel processors in the other models range from a quad-core, eighth-gen Core i3 up to a six-core, ninth-gen i5 as standard. There's a ninth-gen core i9 option available on the mid- and top-of-the-range 27 inch models. All but the entry-level iMac have a Retina 4K or 5K display with a wide P3 color gamut, a fast and capacious Fusion Drive, and Radeon Pro graphics processors. Optional Vega upgrades are offered only on the most costly 21.5 and 27.5 inch models. Apple has also refreshed its high-end iMac Pro, which starts at £4,899.

iPad

In March 2019, Apple introduced a new 7.9 inch iPad mini and 10.5 inch iPad Air, each with retina display, True Tone, A12 Bionic chip and(first gen) Pencil support. They sit between the 9.7 inch iPad mini and iPad Pro. The 9.7 inch iPad features an A10 Fusion chip and M10 motion coprocessor, and comes in 32GB and 128GB storage sizes. The touch sensor in the display has a higher resolution than older versions, allowing it to support the Apple Pencil. It's also got an 8MP rear camera and a 1.2 MP front-facing camera. On the software side, the iPad's multitasking features are a boon for productivity. You can slide a second app over the right side of the one you're working in, then you can dismiss it to get back to work. Picture in Picture enables you to watch video in a corner of the screen. There's also Split View, which lets you work on two apps side by side.

iPhone

When Apple introduced the iPhone X, it said it was unveiling the future of the smartphone. Now, it's taken the next step with the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR. The iPhone XS comes with a 5.8 inch Retina OLED display, Face ID and a dual-lens camera. Its A12 Bionic Chip is the first 7-nanometre chip in a phone, and its machine learning capabilities have improved on those of the iPhone X. If you love Apple's Plus-size iPhones but want even more screen space, the iPhone XS Max is for you. It comes with a massive 6.5 inch display, an A12 Bionic chip, and its battery life lasts up to 1.5 hours longer than the iPhone X. Rounding off the new range is the iPhone XR, which delivers features like Portrait Mode, Face ID and the A12 chip for a much more affordable price. The iPhone 7 and 8, including the Plus models, are still available.

Apple Watch

The number one watch in the world has been updated to Series 4 and now comes in two new sizes - 40mm and 44mm - which are also thinner than their previous iterations. As well as that, Apple has increased the Watch's display size, bringing it closer to the edges. That allows you to see more detail in the apps you use, and add more complications to the watch face. There's a new 64-bit S4 chip inside, the Digital Crown has been remade to feature haptic feedback, and Watch;s heart health features have been expanded upon. The Watch can take an electrocardiogram, a feature that;s available in the UK when you update to watchOS 5.2 or later.

Spectre Camera

Take iPhone shots to the next level

Spectre Camera enables you to create images with light trails, dreamy-looking water or shots which appear to have no people or traffic in them. Rather than your iPhone's camera running a single exposure for a long time, it shoots hundreds of exposures for your chosen time, then blends them. You just compose your frame, press the shutter and let it go to work. You can cycle through shutter speeds, and on-screen stabiliser uses a device's accelerometer to let you know when the camera is fairly stable. The developer claims that it can be used to shoot long exposures handheld. Spectre Camera is easy to use, affordable, and fulfils its purpose well. If you're looking to elevate late-night photographs or shots with moving objects, this app is definitely for you.

Capsicum

Planner, notebook and tracker

Capsicum combines a daily planner with a habit tracker and notebook. The Planning section allows you to view events, to-do list items, notes and a weather forecast for the day. And tabs along the top of the screen make it easy to swap to weekly or monthly views. Swap to Habit Tracking and you can add items like exercise or meditation, and set alerts for each. The Loose Leaf section allows you to add lists or notes. You can create multiple notebooks, customise covers, and change font and text colour. You can also create Siri Shortcuts to log habits. Things then get a bit muddled. While you can add to-do list items in Loose Leaf or Planner, those you add in Loose Leaf don't show up in Planner. You must also choose the correct notebook before viewing what's lined up for the day. The cover and font options are also a bit cheesy, and the iPad version doesn't make good use for the additional screen space. Capsicum is a very useful app and we recommend it to you.
