It also continues to offer tools for health and wellness, including an electrical heart sensor and ECG app and a blood oxygen sensor app.

Apple this year introduced AirTag, a small and elegantly designed iPhone accessory that helps keep track of and find the items that matter most with Apple's Find My app. Whether attached to a handbag, keys, backpack, or other items, AirTag taps into the vast, global 'Find My' network and can help locate a lost item, all while keeping location data private and anonymous with end-to-end encryption.

After the huge success of Apple's M1 chipset, the US-based tech giant Apple announced the launch of the new MacBook Pro powered by the all-new M1 Pro and M1 Max -- the first pro chips designed for the Mac -- in 14- and 16-inch models ever.

This year, Apple introduced the much-awaited third generation AirPods featuring spatial audio that starts from Rs 18,900 in India.
