Tim Cook: Good morning!
Welcome to Apple Park! Today we're going to talk about
Apple Watch, AirPods, and
iPhone, and the profound impact
these products are making in our
lives.
Thanks to their advanced
technologies and seamless
integration of hardware, software, and services,
they deliver experiences
powerfully and intuitively, helping us stay
healthy, connected, productive,
and entertained.
For years, artificial
intelligence and machine
learning have been essential in delivering so many of the
features and experiences you
love. In June, we launched Apple
Intelligence,
our powerful new
personal intelligence system, which will have an incredible
impact. Today, we have exciting
announcements to share about
Apple Watch and AirPods.
And we are thrilled to introduce
the first iPhones designed from
the ground up for Apple Intelligence
and its breakthrough
capabilities. Let's start with Apple Watch.
Apple Watch has deeply impacted
the lives of millions of people
around the world. It's helped them stay active,
healthy, and connected right
from their wrist, and it's helped save
countless lives along the way.
I receive messages every day
from users telling me how Apple Watch makes their
lives better, in ways both big
and small. The impact Apple Watch has made
on so many people around the
world
is the result of constant
innovation. Every year,
we add features and capabilities that not long ago would have
seemed impossible to fit into a
single device,
let alone one small enough
to wear on your wrist! Today we're building
on the advanced technologies pioneered with Apple Watch
to make it even more useful,
essential, and intelligent. And we're doing it all
in this beautiful new design. ♪ ♪
♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Introducing Apple Watch Series
10,
with our biggest display
and thinnest design ever! Here's Jeff to tell you all
about it. ♪ ♪
Jeff Williams: Apple Watch is
an indispensable companion, and the display is central
to everything you do with it. From discreetly checking the
time, to scanning a
notification,
to a quick glance at your
workout metrics, how easily
you can read the screen is
crucial. That's why, for Series 10,
we developed the largest
and most advanced display ever
for Apple Watch. It's the biggest wearable
display we've ever built, even slightly bigger
than Apple Watch Ultra!
And compared to previous
generations, it has up to 30%
more screen area! With a larger screen, you can
increase the font size without
sacrificing content. And you can see an additional
line of text in apps like
Messages, Mail, or News.
It also makes it easier to type
a message, enter your passcode, or pause your workout. Both the display and the case
have more rounded corners
and a wider aspect ratio, which makes Series 10 appear
softer, sleeker, and more
streamlined. The front crystal of Series 10
is made of durable Ion-X glass,
and extends further down
the sides of the case, creating an expansive top view. Under the front crystal is
Apple's first-ever Wide-angle
OLED Display.
Each pixel has been optimized
to emit more light at wider
angles. Often, you look at your watch
from an angle, like while you're
walking, typing on a keyboard,
or when your hand is resting in
your lap.
So we made the display on Series
10 up to 40% brighter when viewed from an angle,
which improves visibility and makes it easier to read your
watch with a quick glance.
We also developed Wide-angle
OLEDs to be extremely power
efficient, which allows the display to
update once a second in
Always-On mode, instead of just once a minute.
Now, a ticking seconds hand is
visible even when your wrist is
down. It makes Series 10 feel more
alive, all of the time. You can see the effect on Flux,
a bold new watch face
that takes full advantage
of the large display, filling the screen with color
second by second. It was designed to complement
Series 10's new aluminum
finishes,
starting with Jet Black! It's our first-ever
polished aluminum finish for
Apple Watch. This deep, glossy black was
developed specifically for
Series 10.
The case is made
from our durable aluminum alloy and polished using silica
nanoparticles until the surface achieves
a reflective shine.
Then it goes through
a 30-step anodization process, which bonds organic dye to the
housing at a molecular level. Joining Jet Black
is a beautiful, warm Rose Gold,
along with our ever-popular
Silver aluminum. The comfort of Apple Watch is so
important because you wear it
day and night. For anything you wear
continuously,
comfort is a function
of size, shape, and weight. And on your wrist,
every millimeter and every gram
matters. That's why we pushed
the limits of technology
to make Series 10
the thinnest Apple Watch ever! At just 9.7 mm,
it's nearly 10% thinner than
Series 9, a significant reduction
considering how compact Apple
Watch already is.
Achieving this radically thinner
profile required further
miniaturization of several already tiny internal
modules like the SiP, Digital Crown, and
speaker.
The speaker system was
completely re-engineered to be
30% smaller without any compromise
to acoustic performance. And, for the first time on Apple
Watch, you can play media
like music or podcasts
directly through the speaker. It's great for when you don't
have your AirPods handy. Also contributing to Series 10's
thinner design is an innovative
metal back
that fully integrates the
antenna into the housing itself, combining two layers into one. A thin isolation split
encircles the metal back
for great cellular performance. And it's bonded to a watertight
layer that maintains 50-meter
water resistance, so you can still shower, swim,
and surf.
The new metal back also
accommodates a larger and more
efficient charging coil, making Series 10
the fastest-charging Apple Watch
ever! In just 30 minutes,
you can get up to 80% battery,
making it easier to charge your
watch whenever it fits into your
day. The smaller speaker, metal back,
and other innovations make Series 10 not only thinner
but also lighter weight.
Aluminum cases weigh up to 10%
less than the previous
generation. And we're introducing
another lightweight material in a gorgeous new finish,
polished Titanium. This year, Grade 5 Titanium
replaces stainless steel. With Titanium's remarkable
strength-to-weight ratio,
Series 10 weighs almost 20% less
than the stainless steel Series
9. The case is made
of aerospace-grade Titanium that's polished to a mirror-like
shine, then PVD-coated
in one of three stunning colors: Natural, Gold, and a dark Slate
Gray. And we've updated
the elegant Milanese Loop
and classic Link Bracelet
to perfectly match the Titanium
finishes. The uninterrupted lines of case,
back, and watch band celebrate the beauty of metal.
To complete the metallic look,
the Reflections face has an intricate, shimmering dial
that reacts subtly to your
movements and transitions gracefully
to Always-On mode.
The sleek shape, expansive
display, sapphire front crystal, and sophisticated finishes make
Series 10 the most refined expression
of Apple Watch yet.
Titanium Series 10 joins the
lineup as our next carbon
neutral product! It's made with 95% recycled
titanium and manufactured
with 100% renewable electricity.
And to reduce emissions
from transportation, we prioritize non-air shipping. Of course, inside Series 10
is custom Apple silicon,
which powers all the incredible
capabilities of every Apple
Watch. The new S10 SiP is designed
for performance, power efficiency, and
intelligence.
Its 4-core Neural Engine quickly
processes machine learning tasks and uses advanced transformer
models to power the intelligent
features you already use every day,
like double tap, on-device Siri,
dictation,
and automatic workout detection. Plus, it enables Crash Detection
and Fall Detection, which uses machine learning
to identify the motion
signatures
and impact forces that occur
during slips, trips, and falls. And, to improve phone calls,
Series 10 uses a new neural
network to suppress background noise,
so you sound clear and crisp
on the other end,
even in noisy environments like a crowded restaurant,
city street, or windy day. watchOS 11 brings
even more intelligence to Apple
Watch.
Now, the Smart Stack
automatically adds new widgets
right when you need them. The new Photos face uses
machine learning to identify, score, and curate
the best photos from your
library.
And the Translate app
comes to Apple Watch, using machine learning
for speech recognition and rapid translation.
Of course, intelligence powers
many of the health features on Apple Watch as well. Here's Sumbul to tell you more.
♪ ♪ Dr. Sumbul Ahmad Desai:
With the compact design of
Series 10, plus the fastest charging ever,
it's so easy to wear your Apple
Watch day and night, unlocking insightful
and intelligent features for
your health. Your Apple Watch can remind you
to take your medications
and alert you to loud
environments that could impact
your hearing. It can also notify you if your
heart shows signs of atrial
fibrillation, and we hear stories nearly every
day
about the impact these irregular
rhythm notifications have had in helping users seek and
receive critical care. While you're sleeping,
Apple Watch can measure wrist
temperature
to detect when you likely
ovulated, identify changes
in your daily health status with the new Vitals app,
and determine how much time you
spend in each sleep stage. And now, Series 10 can also
alert you to a major health
condition that impacts over a billion
people worldwide:
sleep apnea. It's a potentially serious
condition where breathing stops
repeatedly and causes disrupted sleep.
Sleep plays such a vital role
in our overall health and
well-being, and people with sleep apnea can
experience excessive daytime
tiredness, have difficulties concentrating,
and be more irritable.
If left untreated,
sleep apnea can also have significant consequences on your
health, including increased risk of
hypertension,
type 2 diabetes, and cardiac
issues. But one of the biggest
challenges is that 80% of people with sleep
apnea are undiagnosed,
so they don't know
they have the condition. To detect sleep apnea,
Apple Watch uses the
accelerometer to monitor a new metric during
sleep called Breathing
Disturbances.
You can view your nightly values
in the Health app, which can also help you
understand the restfulness of
your sleep. Every 30 days, Apple Watch will
analyze your Breathing
Disturbance data
and notify you
if it shows consistent signs of moderate to severe sleep
apnea. As always, your data is secured
in the Health app,
which will tell you
when sleep apnea may have
occurred and provide education on the
importance of speaking with your
healthcare provider, plus a detailed report
to support that conversation.
The detection algorithm was
developed using advanced machine
learning with an extensive data set
of clinical-grade sleep apnea
tests. It was then validated in a
clinical study,
unprecedented in size
for sleep apnea technology. We are so excited about the
incredible impact this feature
can make for the millions of people
living with undiagnosed sleep
apnea.
We expect clearance from the FDA
and other regulators very soon, with availability in over 150
countries and regions this
month, including the U.S., Europe, and
Japan.
In addition to Series 10,
sleep apnea notifications will also be available on Series 9
and Ultra 2. Like health, fitness is
one of the core benefits of
Apple Watch.
To tell you more about what's
new, here's Julz. ♪ ♪ Julz Arney: Apple Watch helps
keep you active.
The Activity rings motivate
millions of people every day to take a walk,
hit the gym, or go for a ride. And the redesign of Series 10
makes it even better for
workouts.
Runners, cyclists,
and athletes of all kinds will appreciate the lighter
weight. And it's easy to read your
workout metrics on the bigger
display.
This year, Series 10 gets
a built-in depth gauge and a water temperature sensor, making it even better for
activities in and around the
water.
The Depth app launches
automatically when submerged, allowing you to see depth to 6
meters, or about 20 feet, along with water temperature,
which is also visible
in the Workout app
for pool and open water swims. These new capabilities make
Series 10 perfect for
snorkeling, a popular way to explore
the underwater world.
This year, Huish Outdoors is
bringing their Oceanic+ app to
Series 10 with features designed
specifically for snorkeling, like the ability to track time,
max depth,
direction, and other metrics
underwater. For activities like surfing,
fishing, or simply playing in
the waves, we're introducing the Tides app
in watchOS 11.
It shows seven days of
information including rising,
falling, high and low tides, sunrise and
sunset. And there's data for coastlines
all over the world.
For kayakers, canoers, and
rowers, the Workout app now shows
distance, speed, and gives you a
route map. And with the Paddle Logger app,
you can create a float plan
and rely on haptic feedback
from your Apple Watch to stay on
course. Series 10 is great
for all of your fitness
activities. And the addition of depth,
water temperature,
and the Tides app make it even
better for your aquatic
adventures, too. Now, back to Jeff. Jeff: That's Apple Watch Series
10!
It's the thinnest Apple Watch
ever, with our largest and most
advanced display in a sleek, lightweight,
all-metal case that comes in gorgeous new
finishes of aluminum and
polished titanium.
The design of Series 10 is
truly a milestone of
watchmaking. It has the powerful S10 SiP and a breakthrough new
sleep apnea feature.

Now, let's talk about AirPods. AirPods forever changed what we
imagined great headphones could
be. They are the most loved
and most popular headphones in
the world.
AirPods provide
an incredible audio experience and are magically easy to use. This year, we have significant
updates across the entire
lineup.
So let's start off
with the new generation of
AirPods. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
Introducing AirPods 4. Here's Kate to tell you more. ♪ ♪
Kate Bergeron: AirPods 4 build
on the original
industry-defining design loved by millions of people to set an entirely new bar
for fit and comfort.
The geometry of our ears
is unique to each one of us. And creating one shape that
naturally fits people around the
world is a significant challenge.
We used advanced modeling tools
like 3D photogrammetry and laser topography
to build an unparalleled data
set. We precisely mapped and analyzed
thousands of ear shapes,
generating over
50 million individual data
points. This helped us refine the design to create
our most comfortable AirPods
ever.
These also have incredible
technology powered by the H2
chip, which is the most advanced
in the industry, unlocking experiences
only Apple silicon can deliver.
That starts with a massive
improvement in audio quality thanks to a new acoustic
architecture. With richer bass and
crystal-clear highs,
these are the best-sounding
AirPods ever, in this open-ear design. And that includes
Personalized Spatial Audio,
which surrounds you with sound and transforms music, movies,
and games with our most immersive media
experience.
AirPods are also perfect
for taking calls hands-free, and machine learning makes
this experience even better. When interacting with Siri,
you can simply nod your head
"yes"
or shake your head "no"
in response to Siri
announcements. And for clearer call quality
for whomever you're speaking to, Voice Isolation instantly
removes the background noise
around you
no matter your environment. Siri: Call from Francis Luke.
Answer it? - Hey, just give me a minute.
Yeah, the girls are practicing
in the garage. - I hear you perfectly. - You're not hearing that?
'Cause they are loud. Oh, yeah. Kate: In addition,
with a quick press on the force
sensor,
you have even more control
to play or pause music, and to mute or end calls. To make these AirPods
even more convenient to charge
and carry with you everywhere
you go, the charging case has USB-C, and we've made it the smallest,
most portable case ever for
AirPods,
while delivering
up to 30 hours of total battery
life. Now, for those who are looking
for even more advanced
performance in this style of AirPods
we created a second model, inspired by some of the most
impactful features of AirPods
Pro. We're excited to bring
Active Noise Cancellation
to this AirPods design for the
first time. With upgraded microphones,
the power of the H2 chip, and advanced computational
audio,
these AirPods will help to
reduce environmental noise- like airplane engines and city
traffic- so you can have a great
listening experience
at even lower volumes, without sacrificing sound
quality. We're also adding
our industry-leading

which provides the most natural
way to hear the environment
around you, exactly as it sounds. With the introduction of
listening modes to these
AirPods,
it was important to include the
magic of Adaptive Audio, which automatically reduces
noise for you as the environment
changes, so you don't need to switch
modes
when you're moving from a quiet
area to a noisy one. And to make it even easier to
engage with those nearby while wearing AirPods,
Conversation Awareness will help
to seamlessly lower your media
volume when you start talking to
someone. - Hey, Javi. How's your morning
going?
- Hey, Michelle. - Um, can I get... Kate: And bring it back when
you're done.

Orange, and Starlight, along with USB-C, making AirPods Max
even more convenient to charge.
And with iOS 18, the listening experience gets
even better with Personalized Spatial Audio
for music, movies, and games.
AirPods Max are still $549. They can be pre-ordered today and will also be available
on September 20.
These are the breakthrough new
AirPods 4 and updated AirPods
Max. Now, let's talk about our most
popular and the single best-selling
headphone in the world,
AirPods Pro. This design with ear tips
provides an incredible audio
experience that includes pro-level
Active Noise Cancellation,
a crystal-clear Transparency
mode, and the longest battery life. And now, we're adding
profound new benefits
that can expand the role
AirPods play in our lives. Here's Sumbul to tell you more. Sumbul:
At Apple, we believe that
technology
can help you live a healthier
life. And we're excited to enable
incredible new health
capabilities for people around the world
with AirPods Pro.
Hearing is an essential part
of how so many of us communicate and experience the people
and the world around us. But hearing loss can
significantly affect these
important experiences
and relationships,
impacting your quality of life. The World Health Organization
estimates that more than 1.5 billion
people are living with hearing
loss.
If left unaddressed, this can
affect your short- and long-term
health, including increased risk
of cognitive decline, falls, and social isolation,
which contributes to depression. And all of these factors
can impact your longevity as
well. Over the last several years,
we've developed important
building blocks
in this space with the Noise app
on Apple Watch, headphone audio exposure on
iPhone, and the Apple Hearing Study-
with over 160,000 participants,
it's one of the largest studies
of its kind. Through this work
we've gained deeper insights into the issues
surrounding hearing health,
which inspired us to do even
more. So today, we're introducing
three major health features for AirPods Pro 2,
focused on prevention,
awareness, and assistance. Let's start with prevention. One in three people are
regularly exposed to
environmental noise levels
that could impact their hearing. To put this into perspective,
there are all kinds of sounds that can be concerning in daily
life.
Whether that's commuting, mowing the lawn at home, or when you're headed to that
next event.
The more you're exposed,
the more it can impact your
hearing. To help our users minimize their
exposure, we're adding Hearing Protection
to AirPods Pro,
on by default, across listening
modes. The ear tips help to provide
passive noise reduction. Whether you're attending a live
show or playing at the show,
machine learning on the H2 chip
actively reduces louder, more intermittent noise
at 48,000 times per second. Hearing Protection can help you
across a variety of loud
environments,
preserving the entire dynamic
range of what you're listening
to. Next, let's talk about
awareness. Because hearing loss
often worsens gradually,
it can be really hard to detect. And even with tests that are
available, 80% of adults in the U.S.
have not had their hearing
checked in the last five years. To give you insight
into your hearing health we're introducing
a clinically-validated Hearing
Test
with your AirPods Pro and
iPhone. It's a simple five-minute check
you can take from the comfort of
your own home. All you need to do is tap the
screen when you hear a series of
tones
at different volumes and
frequencies. The Hearing Test builds on
learnings from the Apple Hearing
Study, and was developed
using large-scale, real-world
data.
And it was validated
against the clinical gold
standard of pure-tone audiometry. Once you're done,
you'll see easy-to-understand
results
in a personalized hearing
profile. And like the rest of your health
data, these results will be stored
privately and securely
in the Health app,
where you can take regular
tests, learn more about hearing loss, and share your results
with your healthcare provider.
Learning if you have hearing
loss is a critical step to getting the hearing
assistance you need, which can often be challenging
due to high cost
and a limited audio experience. And global research shows
hearing loss often goes
untreated. In fact, the Apple Hearing Study
revealed
that a staggering 75% of people
diagnosed with hearing loss haven't received
the assistive support they need. So we are really excited to
announce that this fall
AirPods Pro will have a
clinical-grade over-the-counter
Hearing Aid feature. We're adding
this groundbreaking capability to help more than one billion
people living with mild to
moderate hearing loss.
After you take a Hearing Test, your AirPods Pro are transformed
into your a personalized Hearing
Aid- boosting the specific sounds you
need in real time,
like parts of speech
or elements within your
environment. This will allow you to hear
your surroundings better, to help keep you safe
and connect you with people
nearby
so it's even easier to hear
and engage in conversations. - [muffled] Happy birthday, Mom. [clear audio]
We're here to celebrate you.
And I am so proud to be called your son. Sumbul: And with the amazing
audio quality of AirPods Pro,
your hearing profile
is automatically applied to
music, movies, and phone calls
across all your devices without needing
to adjust any settings at all.
We are so excited for these
updates coming to AirPods Pro 2 delivering the world's first
all-in-one experience with active Hearing Protection,
a clinical-grade Hearing Test,
and an easy-to-use,
professional-grade Hearing Aid. Building on years of impactful
work, these innovations are driven by
our unique integration of
hardware and software
and are something only Apple can
deliver. We expect to receive clearance
from the FDA and other
regulators soon, with availability of the Hearing
Test and Hearing Aid features
this fall
in over 100 countries and
regions, including the U.S., Germany, and
Japan. These features will be available
in a software update
coming to AirPods Pro 2 and iOS
18 to help make hearing health
significantly more approachable
for so many people. Now, I'll pass it back to Kate.
Kate: These are the breakthrough
updates and category-defining
innovations that take the entire AirPods
product line to the next level. With the best open-ear audio
performance ever in AirPods 4,
a transformational, end-to-end
hearing health experience for
AirPods Pro 2, and stunning new colors
with USB-C charging for AirPods
Max. And now, back to Tim.
Tim:
I'm proud that we're continuing
to deliver on Apple's commitment to health
with a breakthrough experience that will enrich so many
people's lives.
With updates across the AirPods
lineup, we continue to take
the best personal audio
experience in the world even further.
Now, let's talk about iPhone. iPhone continues to make
a profound impact on all of our
lives. Its power and capability
enable us to get so much done,
so quickly and so easily. Like connecting
with our family and friends, staying productive on the go,
and capturing life's special
moments. Apple Intelligence will
supercharge these experiences
and so many more. It puts powerful generative
models right at the core of your
iPhone,
making it even more useful and
delightful. The next generation of iPhone
has been designed for Apple
Intelligence from the ground up.
It marks the beginning
of an exciting new era. And here it is. ♪ ♪
♪ ♪ iPhone 16 raises the bar
for what an iPhone can do. Here's Kaiann to tell you more.
♪ ♪ Kaiann Drance: iPhone 16 has
a vibrant new look. It is made from beautiful
aerospace-grade aluminum
with 85% recycled content
in the enclosure. iPhone 16 celebrates color
in an unparalleled way. We evolved the process

in-app functionality,
like unlocking and locking your
car with the FordPass app. iPhone 16 introduces the
all-new, innovative Camera
Control. The Camera Control
provides instant, easy access
to the Camera with just a click. It allows you to adjust various
camera features simply by
sliding your finger. Its convenient design
ensures it's always within
reach.
And with iPhone 16, the Camera becomes even more
important, now serving as a powerful tool
for intelligence.
The Camera Control offers
instant access to a set of
visual intelligence features. iPhone 16's beautiful design
is joined by powerful
performance inside. Every experience on iPhone is
powered by Apple silicon.
With industry-leading processing
power and efficiency, Apple silicon is at the heart
of new capabilities starting with Apple
Intelligence.
Here's Sri to tell you all about
it. ♪ ♪ Sri Santhanam:
Running powerful experiences
like Apple Intelligence
on-device needs a chip
with substantial
high-performance compute. It needs memory to store large
models and bandwidth to access
them quickly.
And of course,
phenomenal energy efficiency. So we're bringing
our latest breakthroughs, and jumping two generations
ahead-
from A16 Bionic in iPhone 15 to
A18, our brand-new chip,
created specifically for iPhone
16. A18 features an upgraded,
16-core Neural Engine
that is optimized
for running large generative
models. This Neural Engine is up to
two times faster for machine
learning. And it's not just the Neural
Engine.
We also upgraded A18's memory
subsystem, including 17% more
system memory bandwidth. This is critical to give the
chip the fastest, most efficient
access
to our generative models, as well as drive the performance
of Apple Intelligence. A18 is built using
second-generation 3-nanometer
technology.
This 3-nanometer technology
has even smaller transistors that are faster and more energy
efficient. A18 has our latest generation
6-core CPU
with two performance cores
and four efficiency cores. These are critical as they're
used in nearly every experience
on iPhone including Apple Intelligence.
It is up to 30% faster
than the CPU in iPhone 15, and up to 60% faster
than the CPU in iPhone 12. And thanks to our design
and the latest transistors,
the CPU is more energy efficient
than A16 Bionic, and can deliver the same
performance using 30% less
power. This CPU is faster
than all the competition,
challenging even high-end
desktop PCs. A18 also features
our latest desktop-class GPU
architecture. This new 5-core GPU plays a huge
role
in everything from Apple
Intelligence to camera features
and graphics-intense games. It is up to 40% faster
than the GPU in iPhone 15
and up to two times faster
than the GPU in iPhone 12. The GPU is also more efficient
than A16, delivering the same performance
using 35% less power.
A18 is in a class of its own, built with our latest silicon
innovations to power experiences
like Apple Intelligence on
iPhone 16.
Over to Craig to tell you more
about Apple Intelligence. ♪ ♪ Craig Federighi: Your iPhone is
the most personal product in
your life.
It's part of so many things
that make you, you- like your relationships and
messages, your photos and memories,
your calendar, notes, and more. Now, we're bringing together
that personal context with the power of generative
models
to deliver intelligence
that understands you. And we're doing it in a way
that protects your privacy. Apple Intelligence
is the personal intelligence
system
at the heart of the iPhone 16
line-up with the ability to understand
and create language as well as images,
and take action on your behalf
to simplify daily tasks. And each of these powerful
capabilities is grounded in your
personal context. This is only possible thanks to
our unique integration of
hardware and software.
Apple Intelligence draws
on the immense power of our
silicon to run multiple generative
models on the iPhone in your
pocket. These models are built by Apple
and fine-tuned
for your everyday iPhone
experiences. And they adapt dynamically
to your current activity. For more computationally
intensive tasks,
Apple Intelligence can unlock
even more intelligence with Private Cloud Compute. Private Cloud Compute maintains
the privacy and security of your
iPhone,
while giving you access
to generative models much larger than what fits
in your pocket today. It runs on servers we have built
especially with Apple silicon.
Protecting your personal
information when accessing
server-based intelligence requires a fundamental
breakthrough in how these
systems are built, and Private Cloud Compute
delivers just that.
When you draw on Private Cloud
Compute your data is never stored
or shared with Apple. It's used only to fulfill your
request.
And in a first for the industry, independent experts can
continuously verify this privacy
promise. This is an extraordinary step
forward for privacy in AI.
Plus, Apple silicon servers
deliver world-class energy
efficiency. And like all our data centers, they run on 100% renewable
electricity as part of Apple
2030,
our commitment to make Apple
carbon neutral across our entire
footprint. Apple Intelligence is integrated
throughout the system, across so many of the apps
you use day to day.
Let's take a look at four ways
that Apple Intelligence will transform so much
of what you do with your iPhone, like how you communicate
and express yourself.
Starting with Writing Tools. We're deeply integrating them
into iOS, making them accessible
virtually everywhere you type.
So you'll be able to rewrite
hastily written notes into a polished dinner party
invite, adjust the tone of that Slack
message to your boss
to sound a little more
professional, or proofread your latest review
on Goodreads before posting it
to your fellow book worms.
Though sometimes,
the best way to get your point
across isn't with words,
it's with emoji. And you'll be able to create new
emoji simply by typing a
description,
giving you the perfect response
for your group thread. With endless possibilities,
you can let your imagination run
wild. Or create fun, original images
with Image Playground.
Along with a new dedicated app
on iPhone, it'll be integrated
right into apps like Messages. Next, iPhone holds so many of
your photos,
and Apple Intelligence
will give you brand-new ways to relive precious memories. Suppose you've got a photo in
mind that you took ages ago,
but can't remember exactly when
or where. Just describe it, by typing
something like "Shani dancing in
a red dress," and Apple Intelligence
will find it for you.
It even works for getting
straight to a specific moment in
a video. You'll also be able to create an
entire movie to revisit a
favorite memory, just by typing a description
of whatever you have in mind,
like "the kids learning to
crochet with Aunt Fiona." Apple Intelligence will
automatically find relevant
photos and videos and smartly arrange them into a
storyline.
We hope you'll enjoy
building your own collection of
movies that you can share and relive
for years to come. Now, let's talk about how
Apple Intelligence on iPhone 16
will help you prioritize and
focus on your most essential
communication. In Mail, it'll be easy
to quickly survey your inbox. Instead of seeing the first
couple lines of your emails,
you'll see summaries that convey
the most useful information. Your notifications will be
summarized too, helping you quickly get the
gist.
And priority notifications
will be placed at the top of
your stack so you won't miss
a last-minute invitation. All throughout our day, we turn
to iPhone to help us get things
done.
And a great way to accelerate
everyday tasks is with Siri. Apple Intelligence marks the
start of a new era for Siri, and makes it more natural,
more contextually relevant,
and more personal to you. With richer language
understanding, Siri will follow along
if you stumble over your words.
- Hey, Siri, who was the
architect behind the museum of- wait, no, not the museum. The Palace of Fine Arts?
Siri: Bernard Maybeck designed
the Palace of Fine Arts. Craig: And you'll always have
the option to type to Siri- great for those times
when you want to make your
request
a little more discreetly. With its new, expansive
knowledge about features and
settings, Siri will give you step-by-step
guidance
on how to do something on your
iPhone, like deleting duplicate photos
from your library. This will be great for everyone,
and especially for anyone new to
iPhone. And there's so much more to
come. Siri will be able to tap into
your personal context
to help you in ways
that are unique to you, like pulling up the
recommendation for the TV show that your brother sent you last
month.
And Siri will gain on-screen
awareness, so when your friend texts you
about a new album, you'll be able to simply say,
"play that."
And it will be able to take
hundreds of new actions in your
apps, like updating a friend's contact
card with his new address or adding a set of photos
to a specific album.
With Siri's personal context
understanding and action
capabilities, you'll be able to simply say, "send Erica the photos
from Saturday's barbecue"
and Siri will dig up the photos
and send them right off. With new ways to express
yourself and relive memories, along with tools to help you
prioritize and focus so you can
get more done,
Apple Intelligence is going to
transform so much of what you do
with iPhone. Apple Intelligence will be
available as a free software
update. The first set of features
will be available in beta next
month,
with more features rolling out
in the months to come. We're starting with U.S. English
in most regions around the
world. We'll add localized English
for Australia, Canada,
New Zealand, South Africa,
and the UK in December. We're working to expand Apple
Intelligence to more languages like Chinese, French,
Japanese, and Spanish,
and will be rolling these out
next year. And this is just the beginning. As we look ahead, we'll continue
to bring more personal
intelligence
to the apps and experiences
that you use every day. Now, I'd like to show you
something really cool that we've created
especially for iPhone 16.
Your iPhone is with you
everywhere you go, and we wanted to give you the
ability to instantly learn
about everything you see.
Visual intelligence
is just a click away with iPhone 16's new Camera
Control that Kaiann introduced earlier.
Let me show you. Suppose you're out for a stroll
and you stumble upon a
restaurant you haven't been to before.
Just click and hold the Camera
Control and point your iPhone. With just a click- boom, your iPhone instantly
pulls up restaurant hours,
ratings, and quick options to
check out the menu or make a
reservation. And you can learn more with just
a tap. Awesome.
And say you come across a flyer
for an interesting event. Just click! And you can add it to your
calendar.
Details about the event title,
time and date, and location are automatically
entered for you. And then there's that cute
little puppy you see at the
park.
What kind of dog is that? Click! And now you know.
All of this is done privately, using a combination
of on-device intelligence and Apple services
that never store your images.
And there's more. The Camera Control is also your
gateway to third-party tools, making it super fast and easy to
tap into their specific domain
expertise.
So if you come across a bike that looks exactly like
the kind you're in the market
for, just tap to search Google
for where you can buy something
similar.
And if you're studying notes
from your college lecture and get stuck on a particular
concept, just use the Camera Control
to ask ChatGPT for guidance.
Nice. Of course, you're always in
control of when third-party
tools are used, and what information is shared.
So that's visual intelligence, enabled by the new Camera
Control on iPhone 16, helping you learn about your
surroundings
and get answers to your
questions faster than ever
before. It's coming to the Camera
Control later this year. The Camera Control also elevates
the camera experience on iPhone
16.
To tell you all about it, here's
Piyush. ♪ ♪ Piyush Pratik:
iPhone is the world's most
popular camera.
It has profoundly impacted the
world by making it effortless for everyone to capture amazing
photos and videos. Let's start with a closer look
at the Camera Control.
It's designed
for an amazing camera experience that brings you new ways to
capture your photos quickly and
easily. The Camera Control is easy to
use in landscape or portrait.
It's flush to the surface, covered by a sapphire crystal
with a smooth texture, and surrounded by
a color-matched stainless steel
trim.
The Camera Control elegantly
blends hardware and software. When you click, it launches the
Camera. And once in the Camera,
you don't need to adjust your
grip to take a photo. Just click again,
so you don't miss the moment. With a click and hold,
you can do a quick video
recording.
The Camera Control
is packed with innovation. A tactile switch
enables the click experience. A high-precision force sensor
interacts with the Taptic
Engine,
ensuring responsive haptic
feedback like in a mechanical camera
shutter. Additionally,
a small multi-pixel capacitive
sensor
and signal processor
under the sapphire crystal recognize touch gestures. Thanks to this innovative
design,
the Camera Control can
distinguish between a full click
and a lighter press. While you click to take a photo, a lighter press reveals
an all-new clean preview
that dissolves other UI
elements, helping you focus on framing the
shot. A light press also brings up a
new overlay
that allows quick access
to useful camera functions. By sliding
your finger on the Camera
Control, you can adjust controls, like
zoom.
When you press lightly twice, you can see other controls. Then simply slide to the control
you want,
and press lightly again to
select it, like the depth of field
to compose a stunning portrait. Apps like Snapchat
are also leveraging the Camera
Control
to create new experiences, like quickly sharing the moment
with your friends or groups. And that's the new Camera
Control on iPhone 16,
making it even easier to capture
memories and access visual intelligence. iPhone 16 also has a phenomenal
48MP Main camera,
that offers incredible
flexibility. You can maximize resolution
with a 48MP photo, with four times more resolution
than the camera on iPhone 14.
So you can capture fine details
in the scene, like this rocky coastline. The Main Camera image pipeline
can also fuse a super-high
resolution image
with an image that's been
optimized for light capture by grouping every four pixels
into a larger pixel. The result is a 24MP photo
that balances image quality,
light and detail, and a smaller
file size that's great for storing and
sharing. Computational photography
also allows us to flex this Main
camera
beyond its fixed lens. We use the middle 12 megapixels
of the sensor to deliver a 2x Telephoto option
with full-resolution photos.
This 2x Telephoto option
has a faster aperture than any previous dedicated
2x Telephoto camera on iPhone, and can capture
up to 1.6 times more light.
The capability to capture 48MP
photos and optical-quality 2x telephoto
images makes this Main Camera
a 48MP Fusion camera.
This 2x Telephoto even has even
has a separate image pipeline that delivers incredible quality
with Deep Fusion, zero shutter lag,
and great low-light performance.
And it captures 4K60 video
in Dolby Vision HDR with optical
quality. iPhone 16 also has
a new Ultra Wide camera, now with autofocus.
People love the Ultra Wide
camera for its versatility, from capturing more of the
scene, to creative framings
such as taking your own picture
with it,
which is so easy now
with the Camera Control. With a larger aperture and
bigger pixels, the new Ultra Wide camera can
capture up to 2.6 times more
light
for even higher image quality, especially in low-light
situations. The new Ultra Wide camera
also enables macro photography.
So you can get really close to
the subject and capture
impressive details like on this frog's skin and this mantis
that looks so majestic in macro.
With macro and the 2x Telephoto
zoom enabled by the 48 MP Fusion
camera, iPhone 16 users will get the
equivalent of four lenses in
their pocket. And we're pushing things further
with spatial capture on iPhone
16.
The new camera design enables us
to get stereoscopic information from the Ultra Wide and Fusion
cameras for capturing spatial videos.
And, for the very first time on
iPhone, we can also capture spatial
photos! It's so powerful to preserve
your precious moments
with spatial photos and videos like your kids' first steps
or a family vacation, and relive them for years to
come on Apple Vision Pro.
iPhone 16 also makes audio
quality better. Using powerful
machine learning algorithms, we can reduce unwanted wind
noise from your videos.
- Hey! I'm getting that classic
San Francisco breeze. Sorry if it's loud. I'm having a great trip.
I miss you guys! I'll see you when I get back. Piyush:
Once you've captured your
moments,
the true magic is enjoying them
later. And we're elevating
the entire experience with iOS
18. The redesigned Photos app
can automatically organize your
library
into beautiful and useful
collections like groups of your favorite
people, trips, and so much more.
Because everyone's library is
unique, the Photos app is now
customizable. So you can reorder collections
and pin the ones you access
frequently.
With Clean Up coming
with Apple Intelligence, you can easily remove
distracting objects in photos, even their reflections and
shadows.
iPhone 16 features so many
exciting camera upgrades- Camera Control,
48MP Fusion camera, the equivalent of four lenses
including macro,
spatial capture, and more. Now, back to Kaiann. Kaiann: A18 drives Camera
and Apple Intelligence features.
Our amazing silicon
also benefits world-class
gaming. We pair the powerful performance
and efficiency of A18 with new system optimizations,
including our thermal design. We updated the main logic board,
centralizing the chip placement and optimizing
the surrounding architecture.
We also added a thermal
sub-structure to dissipate heat, made from 100% recycled
aluminum. As a result, iPhone 16 delivers
up to 30% higher sustained
performance for gaming.
A18 also supports
hardware-accelerated ray
tracing. This is used by games
such as War Thunder Mobile, to more accurately represent
the reflection of the sun on the
water.
Hardware acceleration can run
ray tracing at up to five times higher frame
rates than with software-based ray
tracing
allowing A18
to run these graphics smoothly. Here, ray tracing is used to
create realistic shadows and
reflections. These techniques aren't possible
to run in real time
without hardware acceleration. iPhone 16 will also support the
AAA games that were previously
only available for iPhone 15 Pro,
like Resident Evil 7 Biohazard that launched earlier this year and Assassin's Creed Mirage.
They run great on iPhone
and work seamlessly with
controllers. And today, we're incredibly
excited to introduce the next-generation
leading game from Tencent-
Honor of Kings: World. This is the latest installment
into this massive franchise that boasts hundreds of millions
of players worldwide,
and is one of the most popular
games in the world. Players will be amazed
by the ultra graphics mode optimized for iPhone 16.
It offers an unparalleled
visual experience with higher resolution,
advanced lighting effects, powerful global illumination
technology,
and expanded viewing distance. iPhone 16 will provide
the ultimate mobile experience for Honor of Kings: World,
elevating gaming on a smartphone
to new heights. Get ready for an incredible
journey in Honor of Kings:
World, coming to iPhone next year.
These join other console-level
games for iPhone, that take mobile gaming to the
next level. Powerful workloads
like gaming and Apple
Intelligence
demand great battery life. So we gave iPhone 16
an even bigger battery, which together
with the energy efficiency of
A18
and the advanced power
management of iOS 18, delivers a big boost in battery
life. iOS 18 brings even more to
iPhone 16.
Including new ways to customize,
new text effects, and Maps
with detailed trail networks and
hikes. iOS 18 also makes our safety
capabilities even more helpful.
With Emergency SOS Live Video, you can share a live video feed
or photos with participating 911
dispatchers.
Visual context can help them
better assess the emergency, and enable prompt medical
triage. iOS 18 includes Messages via
satellite,
building upon
our amazing satellite
capabilities. You can send and receive
messages and Tapbacks to stay connected with your
friends and loved ones
while enjoying that hike off the
grid. Messages via satellite will be
available along with our other
satellite features, starting in the U.S. and Canada.
We've extended our satellite
service to more locations to help you stay connected and
safe when cellular and Wi-Fi
aren't available. Emergency SOS and Find My via
satellite
are available in 17 countries
and regions across four continents. And Roadside Assistance via
satellite, launched last year in
the U.S.,
will also be available
in the United Kingdom. And that's iPhone 16! With incredible camera
experiences including the 48MP
Fusion camera,
macro, and spatial capture. Deep customization abilities
with the Action button and iOS

made from 100% recycled
aluminum, which is bonded to the titanium
frame using solid state
diffusion. It's combined with a graphite
clad aluminum sub-structure,
creating an innovative
architecture that enables up to
20% improvement in sustained performance. This is crucial for efficiently
running advanced on-device
features
like Apple Intelligence
and high-performance gaming. Battery optimizations, larger
batteries, advanced power management,
and the remarkable efficiency
of Apple silicon provide fantastic battery life. In fact, iPhone 16 Pro Max
has the best iPhone battery life
ever.
iPhone 16 Pro is built from the
ground up for Apple
Intelligence. All the Apple Intelligence
capabilities you heard about
earlier enhance the Pro experience
like never before.
We all rely on multiple apps
to get work done and collaborate with our team. If you need to quickly find
an important detail,
but can't remember where it was
shared, Siri will use your personal
semantic index to quickly locate the
information you're looking for.
If you record a meeting,
Apple Intelligence will generate
a summary from the transcript. And when it's time to update
everyone on the latest status,
you'll be able to use it to help
rewrite your note in a more
professional tone. And Siri's new action
capabilities will be awesome for
pros. Like for photographers,
who will be able to ask Siri
to pull up a specific shot
from their library and then apply the edit
to the photo in Darkroom. And when scouting a location
for a photoshoot,
photographers will be able to
use the Camera Control to
quickly get suggestions on how to enhance the space
and achieve their vision. Apple Intelligence will allow
you to accomplish even more
while on the go.
And this is just the beginning. Apple silicon unlocks an amazing
set of features found only on
iPhone 16 Pro. Let's go back to Sri to hear
more about our remarkable new
Pro chip.
Sri: Just like A18 is key
to enabling iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro's unique
performance and feature
requirements demanded a new Pro chip.
This is A18 Pro. It's even faster
and more efficient than A18, and it enables many of the
features that are unique to
iPhone 16 Pro.
A18 Pro is also built with
second-generation 3-nanometer
transistors. Our chips are the first
smartphone chips in the world to use these smaller transistors
with better density,
performance, and efficiency. A18 Pro also has
the new 16-core Neural Engine that powers amazing on-device
performance for Apple
Intelligence.
This incredibly powerful Neural
Engine excels at generative AI
workloads. Compared to the Neural Engine in
A17 Pro, it's faster and more efficient,
and is supported by a 17%
increase in total system memory
bandwidth. It's designed hand in hand
with Apple Intelligence for even better performance.
Combined with
the increased memory bandwidth, Apple Intelligence features
run up to 15% faster than on A17
Pro. The updated memory subsystem
improves graphics performance as
well.
When paired with the new,
faster 6-core GPU of A18 Pro, this helps the GPU to run
up to 20% faster than A17 Pro. This takes AAA games even
further with A18 Pro.
Thanks specifically to new
enhancements to the GPU
architecture, hardware acceleration
can perform ray tracing up to two times faster than A17
Pro.
A18 Pro has the highest
performance implementation of
our latest 6-core CPU with two performance cores
and four efficiency cores. The new CPU
is up to 15% faster than A17
Pro,
and is capable of delivering
the same performance using 20% less power compared to
A17 Pro. Compared to A18,
it's backed by larger caches
for better performance
in the most demanding apps and
games. This is the fastest CPU in any
smartphone. The new CPU also has
next-generation ML accelerators
that help power Apple
Intelligence. They're now directly
programmable for
high-efficiency, high throughput,
and low-latency computations.
A18 Pro also has advanced media
features that are available only on our
pro models, like the new advanced display
engine for ProMotion and
Always-On.
A18 Pro also enables faster USB
3 speeds and ProRes video
recording. Additionally,
A18 Pro has a new video encoder and a new image signal processor
which together,
process two times the amount of
data for super fast encoding
and improved efficiency for
video. As you can see, we designed A18
Pro
to enable all the advanced
capabilities of iPhone 16 Pro. It also powers
never-before-seen camera
features. Here's Della to tell you
about some incredible
advancements.
♪ ♪ Della Huff: iPhone 16 Pro
empowers creativity across
photos and videos, thanks to the tight integration
of hardware, software, and
intelligence.
First, let's talk about
photography. Our Pro models push the limits
of how we capture the world
around us, and iPhone 16 Pro brings more
resolution,
control, and customization than
ever. iPhone 16 Pro has a new 48MP
Fusion camera and an innovative Apple Camera
Interface
that delivers fast and efficient
data transfer from the sensor to
the chip. The new 48MP Fusion camera
has a second-generation
quad-pixel sensor that can read data two times
faster,
enabling zero shutter lag for 48MP ProRAW and HEIF photos. So you can capture this flowing
dress at the exact moment
with uncompromised detail or even when your subject
won't stay still. We know that high-resolution
matters in a variety of scenes,
so we're introducing
a new 48MP Ultra Wide camera. It has a new quad-pixel sensor
for high resolution shots with
autofocus. You can capture so much more
detail in wider-angle shots
or when you want to get up close
for a gorgeous macro shot. The 5x Telephoto camera, with our longest focal length,
is a huge hit.
It lets you get closer
even from far away with stunning
quality. And now
you get the innovative
tetraprism design on iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone
16 Pro.
Along with the new 48MP Fusion
and Ultra Wide, iPhone 16 Pro gets three new
cameras. With the Camera Control,
you can quickly open the Camera
app
and slide between lenses
for the perfect shot, like with the 5x Telephoto. Plus, there's nothing like
having a dedicated, go-to
control
for your camera. It makes the Pro camera system
more versatile than ever, letting you stay immersed
in the capture experience
while you dial in the depth of
field and exposure. Camera Control will be updated
later this year with a two-stage
shutter that can automatically lock
focus and exposure on the
subject.
Just press lightly to reframe
the shot without losing subject
focus. We're also making it effortless
to bring your creative vision to
life. Our latest generation
of Photographic Styles
lets you express your creativity
like never before. They begin with advancements
that go deeper into the image
pipeline. We can understand skin tones
and locally adjust color,
highlights, and shadows, all in
real time, which allows us
to push the creative range
further. So now you can personalize
how you or your subject appears
in photos
with incredible nuance. This is not just
a one-size-fits all approach. The powerful imaging upgrades
also enable more creative
styles.
These provide different moods and are based on past and
present photography aesthetics. The adjustments are applied
to specific colors,
like this gorgeous style, and don't just add
one shade to the entire scene. There are stunning
black-and-white options
that look great in a studio or
outdoors. And this natural look
with dramatic, rich tones, and many more.
You can further personalize
all of the styles with a new, simple control pad that simultaneously adjusts
tone and color-
something that can be
challenging to edit even with
pro workflows. You can also change the style
after capture, a big step up
from original Photographic
Styles.
And with the Camera Control, you can slide through all of the
styles to find the right one for
your shot. With the power of A18 Pro,
you can see the style applied
during live preview, so this is like professional
color grading in real time. We also have
some exciting updates to video.
To tell you all about it, here's
Paulom. ♪ ♪ Paulom Shah: iPhone continues to
lead the industry in smartphone
video,
with stunning dynamic range,
gorgeous colors, and great low-light performance
and stabilization. We took a tremendous leap
forward last year
when we introduced game-changing
video capabilities like Log
recording, and were the first to enable
support for the Academy Color
Encoding System. Together with powerful yet
easy-to-use features like
Cinematic mode in 4K
and Action mode, iPhone enables
people to tell their story like
never before. Creative flexibility is key
to getting the perfect shot, and higher frame rates enable
dramatic slo-mo effects,
for whatever story you're
telling. Take a look. ♪ ♪
- [slowed]
Why are we walking so slowly? - [slowed]
It makes this scene feel more cinematic.
♪ ♪ [normally]
This? Not cinematic.
- No, I get that. It's just, when there's a giant
explosion behind us, maybe it's not the best time
to walk in slow-motion.
- It's the only time
to walk in slow-motion. ♪ ♪ [slowed]
Don't look back.
It ruins it. ♪ ♪ Paulom:
Introducing 4K at
120-frames-per-second,
delivering our highest
resolution and frame rate yet
for incredible slo-mo. It's made possible by the faster
sensor of the new 48MP Fusion
camera and the high transfer speed
of the Apple Camera Interface.
And with the new ISP of A18 Pro, we can do frame-by-frame
cinema-quality color grading at 4K120 in Dolby Vision.
You can also capture 4K120
ProRes and Log, directly to an external storage
device, for pro editing workflows
requiring both high frame rate
and color grading control.
You can use 4K120 in Slo-mo or
video mode. And now you don't have to make
that upfront decision on frame
rate. You can adjust the playback
speed after capture in the new
Photos app.
There's a quarter-speed
playback, a new half-speed option that really adds a wonderful,
dreamy effect,
or you can bring it back to
normal speed. There's also a one-fifth speed
option that corresponds
to 24-frames-per-second
playback.
These playback speed controls
are great for easy, on-the-go
editing. And with Camera Control,
you can quickly capture 4K120 in
HDR. Video capture apps like Kino
are also creating unique Camera
Control experiences like grid
composer. This lets you frame the shot
based on rule of thirds, grid,
social media formats, and even a director's view
finder. This is a powerful video upgrade
that takes storytelling on
iPhone 16 Pro to the next level. Back to you, Joz. Joz: These amazing hardware
and software innovations
take the creative power
of iPhone 16 Pro further than
ever. We're also taking a big leap
forward with audio performance. iPhone 16 Pro brings new
hardware, software,
and intelligence innovations
previously unseen on
smartphones. iPhone 16 Pro has four
studio-quality mics for higher quality audio
recording.
They provide a much lower noise
floor, which means you get more
true-to-life audio with reduced
noise. This is great
for vocal and acoustic
recordings.
And it makes everything that
uses the microphone simply sound
better. We're also enabling Spatial
Audio capture during video
recording for a more immersive experience
when listening with AirPods
or watching your spatial videos on Apple Vision Pro,
or even your home theater setup. The new studio quality mics
and Spatial Audio Capture
enable creative sound editing
with our new Audio Mix feature. This is an industry first, and it's powered by advanced
intelligence.
Audio Mix uses machine learning
to identify and separate background elements from speech and lets you choose
from three voice options.
Say people off-camera
are talking during the capture. - No, it's your grandma's bundt
cake.
- Pancakes times two. - Okay. That's very funny.
- Enjoy.
Joz: The In-frame mix isolates
the voice of the person
on-camera so you don't lose that perfect
take. - No, it's your grandma's bundt
cake.
- Yeah, okay, that's very funny.
All right. Joz: Studio Mix gives the effect
of recording in a professional
studio, complete with sound-dampening
walls, effectively eliminating
reverb.
- No, it's your grandma's bundt
cake.
- Pancakes times two. - Yeah, okay, that's very funny. All right.
- Enjoy.
Joz: And Cinematic Mix handles
voices like in movies, with the vocal track
positioned in the front... - Is that what I think it is?
- No, it's your grandma's bundt
cake.
- Pancakes... Joz: And environmental noises
in the surround. We also have a really cool
update to Voice Memos coming
later this year.
Many musicians already use this
app to quickly capture song
ideas. Well, now, you can layer another
track on top of an existing
recording- like if you want to sing
over a previously recorded
guitar track.
Just tap to layer another track,
and hit record. ♪ ♪ Voice Memos plays the guitar
track through the iPhone
speakers,
while simultaneously recording
your voice. ♪ ♪ When you're done,
Voice Memos uses advanced
processing
to isolate your new vocal
recording, and cancels the background
music- giving you
a professional-sounding
recording
without the need for headphones. Musicians are going to love
being able to layer ideas, and capture high-quality
recordings right when
inspiration strikes.
From studio-quality mics
to new sound editing, these audio capabilities are not
found on any other smartphone. It's an awesome combination
with the new video and photo
features.
Now let's take an exclusive
first look at how iPhone 16 Pro
is used to bring The Weeknd's new song
and music video to life. ♪ ♪
Erik Henriksson:
I'm Erik Henriksson. I'm the cinematographer,
and we're on the set with The
Weeknd, shooting his music video
on the new iPhone 16 Pro.
- Okay, Abel, we're gonna do
a super fast song. Try to sing on it.
Try to sing on it. Hey, Erik, 120, right?
- Yep. Erik: When we were told that the
iPhone can now shoot in 4K, 120-frames-per-second,
we wanted to do a music video
shot in slow motion. Shooting 4K, 120 really helped
us to slow down reality.
To slow down the elements. Slow down The Weeknd's movement. You didn't have to think like,
"Oh, it's just an iPhone."
We just pushed it
as far as we normally do, really creating epic shots. - Will there be wind and all
that?
- Yeah, we're going to have
a bunch of wind. A little bit of stuff flying
behind you. - Okay.
Eddy Chen:
Abel's a super cool character to
shoot. I've worked with him before
on different sets. It's hard to miss with him.
I love shooting portraits on the
iPhone. You can get really close to the
subject. Becomes really intimate.
And with the new photo styles, you could dial back contrast and you could punch it up if you
need,
so it's super helpful to just
see it as you're shooting. - Whoa! Wow, I did not expect it
to look like that.
Eddy: Yeah. I really think the Ultra Wide
captures such a cool and unique
perspective. I definitely get sharper detail
with the Ultra Wide lens
because of the new 48MP. And with Camera Control,
it allows anyone to just access so many of the features-
you know, your exposure,
your focal lengths, photo styles. - Do you want it to go darker?
Do you want to adjust the
exposure?
- Yep. With just a few taps in Camera
Control, I can make technical decisions
in real time.
And if a moment comes up
in between takes, we just took up the phone, and we just started shooting.
- It's a moment of energy,
you don't want to break it. Erik: We can get those moments
when we see them, and it won't be just a memory.
Two, one, action. And shooting with Apple Log
means we have more flexibility to explore color in post.
The new camera features
on the iPhone 16 Pro make it a filmmaking powerhouse. Great take.
Great take. Great take. You stop thinking about it
being an iPhone, and you treat it like a normal
camera.
Joz: These creative capabilities
are only available on iPhone 16
Pro and they help us enhance
storytelling like never before. We also have an update
to our MagSafe ecosystem.
First, we have new Clear and
silicone MagSafe cases for the iPhone 16 lineup that work seamlessly
with the Camera Control.
They feature a sapphire crystal
coupled to a conductive layer to communicate the finger
movements to the Camera Control. We also have a new MagSafe
charger for even faster wireless
charging-
available in two lengths,
one and two meters. The iPhone 16 lineup also
supports Qi2, for improved charging
efficiency,
magnetic attachment,
and broader compatibility. We're also making
significant packaging updates to help meet
our environmental commitments.
The packaging
for the entire iPhone 16 lineup is now 100% fiber-based, made from renewable
and sustainable resources,
which further reduces
our carbon footprint. Additionally, it is slimmer,
which helps reduce shipping
impacts. And that's iPhone 16 Pro.
With Apple Intelligence, A18
Pro, a beautiful Titanium design, larger displays, Camera Control,
and innovative features
across photo, video, and audio, this is a huge step forward. iPhone 16 Pro gives users
the best of iPhone
that will have a meaningful
impact in their daily lives. These are the best iPhones
we've ever made. They start at just $999 for
iPhone 16 Pro
and $1199 for iPhone 16 Pro Max. We also have amazing offers from
Apple and our partners, including up to $1000 off in the
U.S.
when you trade in an iPhone 12
Pro or newer. All new iPhone 16 models will be
available for pre-order on
Friday and will be available in stores
next week on September 20.
With Apple Intelligence on
