"Time Flies", Apple's most-sought launch event is officially underway and the online-only event is expected to focus on iPads and Apple Watches.

At the event we’re expecting not one, but two new Apple Watches -- Series 6 and a new budget-variant of the Watch. Apple might also announce a new variant the iPad Air, which may be inspired by the iPad Pro line-up.

Here are the highlights from Apple's 2020 Event "Time Flies".

New iPad Air launched

The all-new iPad Air is “designed to offer pro features at an affordable price”. Apple’s new iPad Air will use a A14 Bionic SoC, making it the second time that an iPad gets a new chip before the iPhone. It has a 10.9-inch liquid retina display with a 2360 x 1650 pixels resolution.

The new iPad Air houses the front camera on top in landscape mode -- huge cheer from WFH folks who us their iPad for video calls
