Apple has unveiled a new $719 version of its budget-priced iPhone that’s capable of connecting to ultrafast 5G wireless networks, an upgrade that’s already been available on the company’s upscale models for more than a year.

The company also released a new desktop version of its personal computer called the Mac Studio, which will range in cost from $3,099 to $6,099 in Australia. A high-resolution 27-inch display screen designed for the Mac Studio starts at $2,499.

The company also rolled out the latest version of its lightweight tablet, the iPad Air, for $929. All those computing devices will be powered by Apple’s own in-house chips and be available from March 18.

Tech guru Trevor Long told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast that Apple had also accrued the rights to Friday night baseball in the US.

“The next five years of sports rights are going to be a battle for the ages,” Long said.

Stan, Optus, Kayo, Amazon and now Apple have all entered the sports rights arena of late.

“The big question for the AFL is whether they start to go down this route or whether they just stick with Seven and Foxtel/Kayo,” Parker asked.
