An eventful, important year is about to begin for Apple. Even more so than the, uh… rather eventful 2020 which started with the Apple reporting all-time record Q1 quarterly revenue of $91.8 billion, delivering a new redesigned Maps for all users in the United States, unveiling the new iPad Pro with LiDAR Scanner and trackpad support in iPadOS, and an updated MacBook Air with faster performance, the new Magic Keyboard, twice the storage, and a new lower price of $999.

Next, Apple revealed the second generation iPhone SE, a powerful new iPhone featuring a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, Apple and Google partnering on COVID-19 contact tracing technology, a major update to Logic Pro X, and a new 13-inch MacBook Pro featuring the new Magic Keyboard with double the storage.

In June, Apple announced the momentous Mac transition to Apple silicon, previewed macOS Big Sur, iOS 14, iPadOS 14, watchOS 7, and tvOS 14. Apple then unveiled their roadmap to achieve zero carbon for its supply chain and products by 2030, the allocation of more than $400 million to combat the California housing crisis, the expansion of Apple’s iPhone repair service program in over 700 new locations in the U.S., a major update to the 27-inch iMac with improvements to the display, camera, speakers, and mics, and Phil Schiller advancing to Apple Fellow.
