The model number of smartphones from Apple has appeared "spade", but was presented with it and a smaller unit. New desktop computers, which are tired of waiting, could also surprise. And, of course, not without its updated line of the most popular tablets. But first things first.

iPhone 6

An updated version of the smartphone once again increased in size. Display size reached 4.7 inches, which is slightly impact on the ease of use with one hand. However, in Cupertino made it possible to lower the screen with icons and the workspace by double-tapu on the Home button to reach any interface element was convenient.

Moreover, the range disappeared apparatuses memory capacity of 32 GB. Instead, they appeared smartphone with 128 GB - Do not dream about it a lot?

iPhone 6 Plus

The elder brother with an even bigger screen. Reason to ridicule Android users that when the opportunity is not averse to recall that the devices based on their favorite platforms for sale for quite some time. Apart from the difference in the diagonal (iPhone 6 has whole Plus 5.5 inches) provided for the second smartphone and their distinctive features: optical stabilization chamber, and also slightly redesigned user interface, similar to the version for iPad - when you turn the device turn icons on the desktop, and applications become dilated capabilities.

Both smartphones are received by the NFC-chip, which, however, is used exclusively for payment system Apple PayWhich the company also introduced this year. All this, as well as on the work of the smartphone in general, can be found in our published review.

iPad Air 2

Logical continuation of the last year of the tablet from Apple. The most important innovation is, perhaps, the presence of the fingerprint sensor - Touch ID. The new version of the tablet has become even thinner (as they manage?), And the screen - better. For the most part in the operation is not very noticeable, until you become thoroughly compare the current and previous generation.

To the surprise of many, the tablet also got NFC-chip to work with Apple Pay, and for the first time increased the amount of RAM, which reached 2 GB. Not a bad update tablet.

iPad mini 3

Most ambiguous update the entire line of Apple products for 2014. The new tablet in fact turned out to be exactly the same as its predecessor, with the only a few exceptions, that it appeared the sensor Touch ID, and a better camera. Ordinary, unremarkable update a good product. However, the debate about the advisability of buying a new mini 3 instead of mini 2 still continues to this day.

mac mini

The long-awaited update of the available Mac. A lot of fans with bated breath waiting for this update and... disappointed. In addition to the fairly mediocre growth in the "iron" component in new computers from Apple is now not possible to replace the memory. In addition, the simplest model still comes with a conventional HDD, instead of at least Fusion Drive. Nevertheless, the results of the new Mac mini 2014 can be found in our review. As is the case with the iPad mini 3, no revolution occurred exclusively planned upgrade.

iMac Retina 5K

Even if it was not a big surprise, but the new iMac with 5K resolution still able to surprise. Appearance of monoblock remained virtually unchanged, but such a huge resolution received only an older model of 27 inches. Of course, such a computer is designed primarily to work with video and photography. Mounting clips in 4K resolution and photo editing on such a machine will be even more comfortable. A along with high performance holder new iMac feel real king.

Presumably, iMac 21,5 inch with the same resolution will be released only at the beginning of next year.

MacBook Air and MacBook Pro

Also this year, Apple updated and its most popular laptops. Nothing unusual in that there is no upgrade, it is a minor update. Holders of last year's notebooks do not worry, in the daily tasks of their computers are as good as the model update. Of interesting note, you can drive reading speed, which slightly decreased as compared to the laptops of 2013, but rose slightly recording speed. Nevertheless, to buy updated laptops need only to those who do not have them at all, or have models 4-5 years old.

"Overboard"

Of all the products that were left without updates, perhaps, it is worth noting Apple TV. From kupertinovtsy have long been waiting for a global upgrade that will transform their multimedia console almost a game console. On the other hand, you need to do? Support App Store da gamepad - and the beginning will be laid. Will the Apple what users want, or go their own way? The question remains unanswered.

That the coming year?

And the last, "mythical," a product that will change the picture of the television - TV from Apple. whether it is developed as a stand-alone product, or it will be a rethinking of Apple TV set-top box? whether it exists in the minds of engineers and drawings? We can only guess.
