MacBook Air with M3

Apple said on Monday that with the M3 chip, which it introduced in October in the MacBook Pro, the new MacBook Air is "up to 60 percent faster than the model with the M1 chip and up to 13x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air."

Chip aside, the new MacBook Air comes with new features like the ability to support two external displays and faster WiFi.

The 13- and 15-inch versions come in the colors midnight, starlight, silver, and space gray.

The 13-inch starts at $1,099, and the 15-inch starts at $1,299. They're available to preorder and will hit Apple Stores and begin arriving to customers on Friday.

With the introduction of the new laptops, Apple is discontinuing its 13-inch MacBook Air with the M1 chip and its 15-inch MacBook Air with the M2 chip.

The 13-inch MacBook Air with the M2 chip remains available and has gotten a price cut: It now starts at $999.

iPhone 15 cases

Besides the laptops, Apple added silicone cases with MagSafe charging capabilities for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The new colors are soft mint, light blue, sunshine, and pink.

Apple Watch bands

Apple Watch users will also see new options for band colors.

Apple introduced new colors for the solo loop, braided solo loop, sport loop, and sport band. The new colors are light blue, ocean blue, soft mint, sunshine, raspberry, and pink.

Apple also added new Hermès watch bands.
