Compiler Error

1 - March of 2020 saw the release of many new updates, including the Powerbeats: a low cost wired version of the Powerbeats Pro and an upgrade to the Powerbeats 3.
2 - The Mac mini was updated not once, but three times in 2020, offering lower-priced storage options back in March, a limited release Developer Transition Kit in June, followed by the much-anticipated M1 transition in November.
3 - Also updated twice in 2020, the March update of the MacBook Air did away with the rose gold color option, but replaced the keyboard, introducing TouchID without a TouchBar for the first time.
4 - In true Mac Pro fashion, Apple kept it’s promise and released Apple Fitness+ before the end of 2020, completing Apple’s Apple One offering, announced back in September.
