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. ♪ ♪
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.
Series 10 is our fastest-charging watch yet with all-day 18-hour battery life. New depth and water temperature sensors make it great for water activities.
It includes the intelligent new features of watchOS 11 and it looks fantastic with this year's watch bands, with bold colorways from Nike
and refined new styles from Hermès. We can't wait for you to experience how great Series 10 feels on your wrist.
Apple Watch Series 10 starts at $399. You can pre-order starting today, and it will be available on September 20.
Next, let's talk about Apple Watch Ultra. Ultra is the most rugged and capable Apple Watch, with all of the powerful and intelligent features
that help keep you connected, healthy, and safe, and it's also the ultimate sports watch. Here's Stan to tell you more.
♪ ♪ Stan Ng: Ultra is the perfect companion for athletes. It has great battery life to last through an Ironman,
an Action Button for precise workout control, and a depth gauge for scuba. Plus with dual-frequency GPS and advanced positioning software,
Ultra delivers the most accurate GPS in a sports watch. Ultra has the metrics, views, and experiences runners need like Custom Workouts, Heart Rate Zones, pacing features,
and even an industry-first automatic running track detection. And the new Training Load feature provides helpful insights to make it easier for you to smartly plan
when to push and when to recover, especially if you are training or preparing for a race. Ultra is also great for cyclists.
In addition to distance, speed, elevation, and heart rate, cyclists can easily view their workout as a Live Activity on iPhone or connect power meters to Ultra for more metrics and experiences
like cadence and Power Zones. Apple Watch Ultra helps you get the most out of your swim workouts with features like automatic stroke detection and lap count.
watchOS 11 brings Custom Workouts to pool swims. It tracks your intervals, guides you through your current segment,
and gives you a snapshot of what's next. Ultra is also perfect for hiking, whether it's a day trip or a long trek. Along with the advanced Compass app
that includes latitude, longitude, waypoints, and Backtrack, watchOS 11 supports offline maps, complete with custom route creation and turn-by-turn directions,
to use when your iPhone isn't nearby or powered on. And Apple Watch Ultra is the best sports watch for so many more activities,
like when you're out golfing, on the slopes skiing or snowboarding, or enjoying the ocean diving, surfing, or rowing.
It also delivers all of the other core features of Apple Watch that keep you active, healthy, connected, and safe. This fall, we're excited to bring a stunning new finish to Ultra.
This incredible deep, dark finish is achieved through a custom blasting process. The diamond-like carbon PVD coating was specifically formulated
to make the surface extremely scratch resistant and durable. Every Ultra case is made with 95% recycled grade 5 Titanium. It's the same material used by the aerospace industry.
And there is a beautiful matching dark zirconia back crystal. Completing this new look are updated bands with matching Black Titanium hardware.
We're also excited to introduce a new Ultra band, the Titanium Milanese Loop. Inspired by stainless steel mesh historically used by divers,
this new band is made from corrosion-resistant Titanium and designed for scuba. Titanium wire is woven, flattened, and polished
to create a smooth surface that wraps fluidly around your wrist. The parachute-style buckle has dual side-release buttons that close with an audible click.
And like all Ultra bands, it's designed to stay securely on your wrist. It's surprisingly lightweight,
and elegant enough for any occasion. Available in both Natural and Black, the Titanium Milanese Loop joins new colors of the Trail Loop,
Alpine Loop, and Ocean Band. And this year, we're extending our partnership with Hermès to Ultra. The new En Mer band is made of a high-density 3D knit,
with a Titanium buckle designed for water sports. And the exclusive Hermès Maritime watch face features high-visibility numerals,
and the Action button launches a sailing-inspired countdown timer. That's Apple Watch Ultra 2. Now back to Jeff.
Jeff: Apple Watch Ultra 2 is our most rugged and capable Apple Watch with a durable Titanium case and sapphire front crystal. Now in a stunning black with a matching Milanese Loop,
it includes the intelligent features of watchOS 11. Ultra is the ultimate sports and adventure watch, with powerful capabilities for runners, cyclists, swimmers, hikers,

and the popular Apple Watch SE. We couldn't be more excited about the Apple Watch lineup for 2024 and the continued impact it will have on users' lives.
And this year, any Apple Watch in any finish can be carbon neutral, giving you even more choice with a lower carbon impact. It's one more step towards Apple 2030,
our commitment to be carbon neutral across our entire footprint. Back to Tim. Tim: These are the most beautiful and capable watches we've ever created.
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.
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 Transparency mode,
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?
we've also added wireless charging to this charging case. You can use Apple Watch or Qi-certified chargers, and we've added a speaker to the case for help with Find My.
These new models are the best open-ear AirPods we've ever built, with game-changing audio performance powered by advanced machine learning

utilized 100% fiber-based materials, and reduced the packaging by more than 30% to help decrease our emissions from shipping
and move closer to our commitment of becoming carbon neutral by 2030. The next-generation AirPods 4 are just $129, and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are $179.
You can pre-order them today, and they will be available on September 20. Next, with an exceptionally crafted over-the-ear design,
there's AirPods Max, which people around the world absolutely love. Featuring the highest-fidelity sound quality
and amazing Active Noise Cancellation, AirPods Max deliver the ultimate personal listening experience. We're excited to introduce beautiful new colors
in Midnight, Blue, Purple, 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.

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.
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.
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 18. And built for Apple Intelligence from the ground up with A18,
Camera Control that enables visual intelligence, and a big boost in battery life. This marks a new era for iPhone.
Kaiann: iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are a huge leap forward. They still start at just $799 for iPhone 16 and $899 for iPhone 16 Plus.

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?
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-
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.
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.
