Apple is having quite the month. The Cupertino giant has been on a quiet but relentless product blitz - rolling out a refreshed MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Air, and the brand-new MacBook Neo, all while dropping the budget-friendly iPhone 17e for entry-level buyers who want a piece of the Apple ecosystem.
