Yesterday was a big day for Apple. Work nights? Did you happen to miss it? Well, if so, read along as we dive into the Apple Spring Loaded Event Recap.

Apple unveiled updates for the iPad Pro, iMac, its AirTag item trackers, and much more. The company held its first event this year with a tagline of “Spring Loaded” that was sure to impress any Apple fanatics in attendance.

Apple kicked things off with an update on its Services products. First, for Apple Card, the company announced a new “Apple Card Family” feature that lets users share their credit with family members. This means spouses can have joint access to one card, or parents could use it as a tool to teach their kids about how spending wisely builds good habits they’ll carry throughout life!

One of Apple’s announcements is not a new product but rather an update to their iOS app. Beginning in May, users will be able to support podcasters directly through subscriptions they make within Podcasts! The future for podcasts just got brighter, and it looks like we are going on this journey with them.

Apple’s latest announcement may have been about their podcast subscription service available starting next month.

Apple is looking to up its game and offers its customers a wider range of colors. From the traditional black, white, blue, green (PRODUCT)RED, Apple has been adding more great color options for consumers, with purple being added as an option in the iPhone 12 lineup!

Apple announced that the new purple iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 would be available for pre-order on Friday, April 23. The first orders start shipping a week later, on April 30.

Apple AirTag | Apple Spring Loaded Event Recap

Following the purple iPhone announcement, Apple shifted its focus to the Find My application and finally introduced their AirTag item tracker.

AirTag is your one-stop-shop for all of life’s little necessities. The small, lightweight device features a precision-etched polished stainless steel design and IP67 water resistance to keep you on the go without any worries! It comes with built-in speakers that will play sounds to help locate it while also coming equipped with an easily removable cover – so if anything goes wrong, swap out the battery instead of purchasing new AirTags altogether.

And when traveling internationally, there needn’t be any concern about losing valuable items like keys or luggage because AirTag has got this covered too: bring close enough proximity between them, and they’ll connect automatically using wireless technology! You can even give each item its name, such as “Keys” or “Jacket.
