The radical new Mac Pro, with its unique cylindrical design, will go on sale in December, priced from £2,499, Apple has announced.
The base model is powered by a 3.7GHz quad-core processor with 12GB of RAM, 4GB of graphics memory, and 256GB of solid-state storage. Users needing more power can increase the specification to include a massive 64GB of RAM, 6-, 8-, or 12-core Intel Xeon processors, up to 6GB of dedicated graphics memory, and up to 1TB (terabyte, 1,000GB) of solid-state storage.
Apple has announced the new iPad Air, featuring a faster processor, and slimmer, lighter design. The new iPad's screen bezel is much smaller than the previous model, and thickness is down 20% from last year's model to 7.5mm.
Described as "the biggest step yet" for the range, the new fifth-generation iPad goes on sale in the UK on 1 November, priced the same as before, starting at £399 for the 16GB Wi-Fi-only model.
Apple has announced the new iPad mini, with a high resolution Retina display and quad-core A7 processor, but rumoured Touch ID fingerprint scanner is missing.
Maintaining the same 7.9in screen size and overall appearance, the new iPad mini now has a resolution double that of last year's model, up to 2048 x 1536 - the same as the larger iPad. Giving both tablets the same resolution makes app developers' lives easier, as they don't need to rescale their applications to fit a new resolution. The new tablet will go on sale sometime in November, starting at £319, a £50 premium over last year's model.
The new iPad Air has an improved design, faster processor and less weight, but should iPad 4 owners upgrade?
The iPad mini now has a high-resolution Retina display and quad-core A7 processor, but will this be enough to tempt consumers to upgrade after one year, and pay the increased £319 starting price?
