US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru.

Apple Spring Loaded launch event livestreams tonight: New iPad Pro, iMac, AirTags, and more

If you are an Apple fan, today is likely to be a mega day for you. The Apple Spring Loaded event is scheduled later tonight and there are lots of expectations for newer versions of iPad, Macs and more. Rumours are abuzz with the arrival of the much-anticipated Apple AirTags trackers as well as next-gen AirPods. A generational upgrade to the iMac is also expected.

Apple is yet to hint at any of the launches and that makes it exciting to wait for the launch event later tonight. Similar to the last few Apple events in 2020, the Spring Loaded event will be livestreamed on Apple’s YouTube channel and you can catch it in India at 22:30 hours (10:30 pm). Apple users can also watch the event via the Keynote app on their iPhones, iPads and Macs.

Apple Spring Loaded expected launches

There’s always a sea of rumours surrounding Apple and for this event, a lot of newbies are expected to break cover. The most anticipated one is the AirTags, or Apple’s version of the Tile tracker. The AirTags has been long in the rumours and is said to join Apple’s “Find My” ecosystem by helping users track their products.

The AirTags is expected to rely on the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) chip to help users locate certain products, similar to the Tile tracker. The UWB chip is present in iPhone 11 series and iPhone 12 series, and hence, is likely to limit the usage to users of these phones.

There are rumours of the third-gen AirPods getting revealed at the event. The new AirPods are said to take design cues from the AirPods Pro but ditch the latter’s noise cancellation system.

The biggest launches are said to be related to the iPad and Mac lineup. There’s a new iPad Pro rumoured to launch today, utilising a pumped version of the A14 Bionic chip and a new miniLED display tech. The miniLED display tech is expected to upscale the viewing experience.

Apple is also expected to announce new Macs at this event. Rumours of a next-gen iMac broke out a few days ago, complete with a revamped design inspired from the Apple Pro Display XDR. Leaks suggest that the new iMac will have a bezel-less design and a flat rear. The iMac could get the Apple Silicon treatment as well as new colour options.
