Apple's music experts have created new playlists. Apple Music DJ Zane Lowe used examples of playlists for dinner parties, getting ready for bed or going for a hike. The playlists are available just by asking Siri. 

There's also a new subscription for Apple Music. It's$4.99 per month and allows only one subscriber to use their voice and Siri to access the Apple Music library. 

In other words, it's a limited Apple Music subscription available to only one person and, it sounded like you could only use it via Siri. There are a lot of details we need to fill in on this.

New MacBook Pro laptops

Apple's latest MacBook Pro laptops are completely redesigned. So much so, there's even a notch - yes the same kind of notch the iPhone has - at the top of the display. Speaking of the display, Apple added ProMotion to the new MacBook Pro for a dynamic refresh rate based on what the user is doing at the time. Although, instead of implementing Face ID like the iPhone and iPad have, the notch only serves as a spot for an improved webcam. 

There's a new cooling system that's s boosted by feet on the bottom of the MacBook Pro, lifting it off of your desk. The MacBook's TouchBar was a fun experiment, but ultimately one that has ended with the new laptops. Instead, Apple is returning to the old row of function keys along with a Touch ID sensor. 

The MacBook Pro is also seeing the return of several ports. An SD Card reader, MagSafe and HDMI port are all back.

Inside the new MacBook Pro models are Apple's new M1 Pro and M1 Max Apple Silicon processors. Both processors have modest updates over last year's first M1 Apple Silicon chip. 

Both models areavailable to order today , with deliveries starting next week. The14-inch MacBook Pro starts at$1,999 . The 16-inch MacBook Pro$2,499 .
