Apple just added new products and accessories you might have missed.

The company on Monday announced a new 13- and 15‑inch MacBook Air with its proprietary M3 chip. It's also rolled out several new colors for iPhone 15 cases and Apple Watch bands.

Here's a closer look at the newest additions to Apple's lineups:

MacBook Air with M3

Apple said in a press release Monday that with the M3 chip, which it introduced in October in the MacBook Pro, the new MacBook Air is "up to 60 percent faster than the model with the M1 chip and up to 13x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air."

Chip aside, the new MacBook Air also comes with new features like the ability to support two external displays and WiFi up to two times faster than the previous generation.

Both the 13- and 15-inch come in the colors midnight, starlight, silver, and space gray.

The 13-inch starts at $1,099, and the 15-inch starts at $1,299. They're now available for preorder and will hit Apple Store locations and begin arriving to customers on March 8.

With the introduction of the new laptops, Apple is discontinuing its 13-inch MacBook Air with M1 and the 15-inch MacBook Air with M2.

The 13-inch MacBook Air with M2 remains available and has gotten a price cut; it now starts at $999.

iPhone 15 cases

Besides the laptops, Apple also added new silicone cases with MagSafe charging capabilities for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The new colors are soft mint, light blue, sunshine, and pink.

Apple Watch bands

For Apple Watch users, you'll also see new options for band colors.

Apple introduced new colors across several types of watch bands: its solo loop, braided solo loop, sport loop, and sport band.

The new colors include light blue, ocean blue, soft mint, sunshine, raspberry, and pink. Apple also added new Hermès watch bands.
