Apple hardware and software, from iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch to AirPods, Apple Pencil, and accessories.

The Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max delivers 40W with short 60W peaks and is the first charger to use the USB PD 3.2 SPR AVS spec. It is sold only in seven Type-A socket countries.
The Apple Watch 49mm Natural Titanium Milanese Loop retails for S$279, dropping to S$250.70 on Apple's EPP. Neither Lazada nor Shopee carry it, and with two titanium colours across three sizes, I picked the small to fit my 150mm wrist.
A look inside my travel gadget pouch, now a Peak Design Small Tech Pouch, packed for both me and Li Xiang. As iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch users, we each carry an Anker MagGo to charge all three devices.
My new iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) only supports the Apple Pencil Pro, so my old Pencil 2 won't work. Despite just four real differences between them, Apple gives no reason it couldn't support the older pencil, conveniently pushing the upgrade.
After seven years with my iPad Pro 10.5-inch, I upgraded to the iPad Pro 11-inch M4. My brother, a frequent flyer, bought it for me at Changi Airport's iStudio to save the 9% GST, with a guide to terminal prices.
The Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter retails for S$45, though a Singtel voucher brought mine down to S$30. It lets you connect Lightning accessories to a USB-C device such as the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Orange is my favourite colour, but Apple dropped the Orange Alpine Loop from the Apple Watch Ultra 2 lineup. I tracked one down on Shopee's authorised Apple store for S$101.76 after vouchers.
Apple's iPhone 15 Pro Max Clear Case holds the S$75 price, or S$68.04 on the EPP. I ordered on announcement day and DHL delivered the next. With the mute switch gone, the case loses that cutout.
More than five years after their US debut, the Apple HomePod (2nd Gen) and HomePod Mini finally arrived officially in Singapore, with orders from 30th March 2023. The HomePod retails for S$429 and the Mini for S$139.
The Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable comes in one 1.2m length, black or white, at S$49, though Amazon.sg had black for S$40. I needed it because my Belkin equivalent wouldn't work on AirPods Max.
The Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable retails for S$45, or S$37 at authorised resellers. With it out of stock everywhere, I spotted it listed on Amazon.sg Fresh, which tracks inventory separately.
During Shopee's 10/10 flash sale, the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) went for S$319 at an authorised reseller, with S$31.90 in coin cashback. Paying via OCBC Frank added another 6% back, making it a great deal.
The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max Clear Case with MagSafe is S$75, or S$67.41 on the EPP. I ordered on launch day and DHL delivered the next; it won't fit the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
The Apple MagSafe Battery Pack retails for S$139 and adds 40% to 70% extra charge. Its 1,460mAh cell charges wirelessly at 15W when plugged in, and it stops at 90% to protect battery health.
My last personal laptop was a 2008 MacBook Pro; since then I've used work machines and a hand-me-down. After 14 years, I finally bought my own again, choosing the base-model 14-inch MacBook Pro (2021).
The Apple iPhone Leather Wallet with MagSafe retails for S$89, dropping to S$69 during the 12/12 sale. I finally had a use for one after getting the UOB Absolute Cashback Card, which doesn't support Apple Pay.
My Apple Watch Series 3 is nearing end-of-life past the four-year mark, though Apple kept it alive another year. Rather than wait, I upgraded to the Apple Watch Edition Series 7 in 45mm Space Black Titanium.
The Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max Clear Case with MagSafe is unchanged from last year's, holding the S$75 price or S$67.41 on the EPP. Shipping was even faster, delivered the day after the iPhone 13 announcement.
Apple refreshed its set-top box at the 21st April 2021 event, keeping the Apple TV 4K name as the 2nd Generation. Given Apple TV's long product cycles, it's worth buying at launch.
The Apple AirTag Loop comes in two variants. The Polyurethane Loop offers four colours, including Electric Orange, for S$45 (S$40.66 on EPP), while the Leather Loop comes in Saddle Brown or Product Red for S$59.
The Apple AirTag Leather Key Ring retails for S$55, or S$49.22 on the EPP, in Baltic Blue, Saddle Brown, and Product Red. With a stainless steel ring and soft French leather holder, it feels premium, if pricey.
