The same pre-order and availability dates apply to the latest 24-inch iMac that also comes with Apple M1 SoC and has been launched in seven colour options. It’s priced starting at Rs. 1,19,900.

iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are getting a brand new Purple colour option that will be up for pre-orders from April 23.

Lastly, Apple Podcasts are also getting an overhaul. Apple Podcasts subscriptions will allow listeners to pay podcasts creators a monthly subscription fee to access a range of benefits from ad-free episodes, additional content, and early access to episodes or exclusive series. Creators will get to decide the pricing as well. Podcast creators can also offer free trials and sample episodes so listeners can decide if they think it’s worth a fee. But creators will need to sign up for Apple Podcasters Program to access all of the tools needed to offer premium subscriptions. It costs Rs. 1,799 per year.
