Are to planning to buy a latest hardware-powered Apple device, then it’s a good news for you as the Cupertino-based Apple has recently confirmed that their latest and refreshed product line-up is now already made available for purchase in India. As a reminder, iPhone maker introduced their upgraded line-up of iPads, MacBooks, iMacs and latest iOS 11 operating system last month at the company’s annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in San Jose. Now, almost one month later, Apple has started shipping units of its new 10.5-inch iPad Pro and refreshed MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMacs at the e-commerce platforms and Apple retail stores across the country.
