Apple issued a software update for iPhones on Monday (June 6). The IT titan also introduced a buy-now, pay-later program. Furthermore, the firm showcased a Macbook Air equipped with its newest M2 processor. The announcements were made at the Worldwide Development Conference (WWDC 2022). It is Apple's second big yearly event of the year.
Apple Pay Later, a new feature offered by the company's payments infrastructure, allows consumers to break purchases into subsequent installments. Users will be able to split any Apple Pay purchase into four equal payments over six weeks, with no added interest or fees, using the Buy Now, Pay Later service.
When using Apple Pay, users will be given the option to buy now and pay later. The purchase page will state the amount of each payment and when it is due.
Apple announced several new software upgrades at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), including iOS 16, watchOS 9, iPad 16, and macOS 13 or macOS Ventura. Apple also revealed the new M2 processor, which will power the newly updated MacBook Air as well as a 13-inch MacBook Pro, among other gadgets.
Apple released the M2 CPU after the M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra CPUs. Apple believes that the M2 is more powerful and will result in considerable performance gains.
Apple's M2 is constructed on Apple's Arm silicon and has 20 billion transistors, which is 25% more transistors than the M1. As a result, Apple promises that the M2 will feature an 18% faster CPU and a 35% faster GPU than the M1. According to Apple, the M2 is 1.9 times quicker than the "latest 10-core PC laptop CPU."
