Last Thursday, Apple CEO Tim Cook took to social media to tease 'a big week ahead' for his company, and Apple has certainly delivered on that promise: we've seen six new products launched over the last few days, and they're all updates to major product lines.

If you've not been able to keep up with everything that Apple has announced — and even we've found it tricky — then let this be your one-stop catch-up for all the news. We've included the details for each new piece of hardware, and links if you want to read more.

It's fair to say there's something for everyone here, whether you're in the market for a mid-range smartphone or you're a creative professional who's after one of the best monitors money can buy. Without any further ado, here are the new devices...

1. MacBook Neo

We've long been hearing rumors about a more affordable MacBook — like an iPhone 17e but for Apple's laptops — and now it's finally here. The MacBook Neo runs on an A18 Pro processor (the same one found in the iPhone 16 Pro from 2024), sports a 13-inch screen, and is available in four colors: Apple is calling them blush, indigo, silver, and citrus.

The big headline here though is the relatively low starting price, which is $599 / £599 / AU$$899. That makes it the cheapest Apple laptop currently on the market by some distance, although there are of course some compromises along the way — if you want a keyboard with Touch ID integrated into it, for example, then you'll have to pay extra.

2. iPhone 17e

Apple continues to offer a more affordable option in its iPhone line, with the iPhone 17e now replacing last year's iPhone 16e and starting at the same price: $599 / £599 / AU$999 (although this time the base model offers 256GB of storage rather than 128GB). One of the key upgrades here is support for MagSafe charging, which the previous model didn't have.

Other improvements worth knowing about are the switch to the A19 chipset also featured in the iPhone 17 — so you're getting top-tier performance, even if this phone isn't much faster than the iPhone 16e. Networking speeds should be better, thanks to Apple's own C1X modem, and you can get this in soft pink as well as the standard black and white.
