- A true revolution is presented on the iPad. The iPad Pro. With the smart keyboard and stylus it would become a necessary device for developers.

2019. We reached the end of the decade.
- AirPods Pro. Although they are an evolution of the AirPods, they are on this list because they have been an advance in relation to their predecessors. The noise cancellation, its resistance to water and the interchangeable ear pads, have been its hallmarks.
- Mac Pro. Lose the i from iMac. But it is the only thing that loses, because this new computer it is a beast in technology and power. A true long-awaited evolution.
- New Apple Services. Apple TV + focused on the quality of its productions. Apple Arcade, with its flat rate for video games for all devices. The business of the future for Apple.
