Apple just wrapped up their spring event, and today we're
going to unpack everything Apple announced at
peak performance, the first event of 2021, so I hope
you are ready.
What's going on, everyone?
One is Mike.
Welcome back to the channel.
I'm glad that you are back here today.
We're talking about peak performance, all the
products that Apple announced, and I hope you're ready because
we're starting with very first one, which is changes to
the Apple TV.
They're getting MLB Friday night games two games per week
that are available as out of market games on Friday nights.
Not really a big deal, but if you like baseball, you know
that might be important to you, but hopefully the
contract signed by the end of that time whenever
it starts next.
We're talking about new finishes coming to the iPhone
13 and the iPhone 13 Pro, which are going to emerald
green and Alpine green respectively, leaving the
colors being available in product red, starlight,
midnight blue, pink and that new green color, which to me,
I like the emerald green more so than the alpine green.
But I'm not someone who looking to pick up one of those phones
for my iPhone 13 I already have.
But if you've been waiting to upgrade for one of the
new colors, this is a good way for you to get into
that phone.
Pre-orders start this Friday, and it's available in-store
on March 18th.
Next up, we have a new iPhone SE E3 you the low cost leader
starting at four twenty nine, which is available in three
colors Midnight Starlight and Product Red.
The iPhone SE three has been updated to include the A15
processor that was found in the other iPhone 13
models this year.
You're getting an increase in battery life and includes
5G connectivity, but it's not really clear on whether or not
this can include the millimeter wave.
I don't think it does.
Apple's product pages are have been updated at this point,
but you know there's some information that gets updated
as the course of the week goes through.
The A15 is going to give you a one point two times faster
graphics performance than the second generation iPhone.
It's going to give you five times faster graphics
performance than the iPhone six if there's even any of those
still in the marketplace today, and some of
the neighborhood of about 2.2 times faster performance than
the iPhone eight and iPhone eight.
If you have an iPhone eight, let me know down
the comments below.
Now, the A15 processor is going to power advanced photography
features that are found in the iPhone 13, the iPhone 13 Pro
that give you that advanced image signal processor that
real crisp look.
Now you should get similar performance on the iPhone three
with the A15 and the advanced image signal processor that you
see on the iPhone 13.
With the exception that you only have one lens on the rear
of the device, it does support each year for in addition to
photographic styles, which is another feature that you see on
the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro.
The phone is going to be water and dust resistant IP67, and it
does come included with wireless charging.
Unlike the rumors we're telling you now, starting at four
twenty nine, the phone's available for pre-order this
Friday and then is available in stores on March 18th.
Next, we're going to talk about the iPad Air.
This device was recently updated in September, I think
2020 with the A14 processor.
So it's not like it's old, but Apple decided to go ahead
and increment this device.
iPad Air five Coming in five different colors, we have
space gray, blue, gold, starlight, pink and purple.
Now, I don't know about you, but I'm really caught between
the purple and the blue being my favorite color.
I want to know from you what your favorite color is.
Let me know down in the comments below.
The iPad Air five features the same ten point nine inch Liquid
Retina LCD display that it had last year, but it's been
upgraded to include the M1 processor.
Now this is the same M1 processor that you find in the
M1 iPad Pro, the M1 Mac Mini, the M1 MacBook Pro 13 inch.
So it's really hard to see how Apple sees this
device going forward.
I'd really like to know how Apple plans to differentiate
this device in the coming months in the coming years
because there tends to be a lot of overlap with these devices.
Now, the iPad Air five does have an upgraded front
facing camera, which is 12 megapixels and now supports
Senate Technology, which I'm a huge fan of.
I think it's great on the iPad Mini, and it does include
an upgraded USB-C port, which is capable of delivering
10 gigabits per second throughput for data.
Now that's up from five gigabits per second, which is
found on the previous generation iPad Air four or
even on the newest generation iPad Mini.
I don't know about you, but I don't think many people are
going to upgrade simply from the fact they want to get
faster storage on this device that you would actually be
compelled to upgrade to an iPad Pro opposed to an iPad
Air five.
Let me know what you think.
Now this also includes 5G connectivity, which was
previously missing from this device when it came out
in 2020.
Of course it did, because 5G wasn't even around, but it
still does have stereo speakers while you are in landscape
and Touch ID.
So there's no hope of this device getting Face ID.
I think Apple's going to continue to differentiate
between their pro line devices and their consumer line devices
for lack of a better term by having these features, such as
Face ID and faster throughput in the data connectivity port.
Now, starting at five ninety nine for 64 gigs, all up to two
hundred and fifty six gigs and you can add an additional one
hundred and fifty dollars on the device for 5G and each of
those storage tiers.
The device is available for pre-order starting this Friday
and is in stores next Friday, March 18th.
Now, I don't know about you, but I do have an iPad Air for
which I plan to replace with this device.
I want to see how I can push it if you're interested in that
type of content.
Let me know that by subscribing to the channel so you can see
that content when it comes out next week.
Next up, we have changes coming to the Mac line up in terms of
the Mac studio now.
This really broke yesterday that there was an incremental
device coming that was a cross between, I'd say, a Mac
Mini from a size perspective and a performance of maybe even
a Mac or iMac Pro.
This device pushes the M1 Macs architecture further with the.
M1 Ultra, which is really two M1 Macs that are fused together
at a certain connection point, the Mac studio starts at
nineteen ninety nine for the M1 Macs and thirty nine ninety
nine for the M1 Ultra is three point three inches high,
seven point seven inches wide and has a ton of connectivity.
Four Thunderbolt ports in the back and HDMI port has
a power port.
Obviously, it does have two USB-A ports and in the front it
has two USB-C ports, which are also Thunderbolt four ports.
There's an SD card reader, which I think is right now.
It's just you have to have.
That's table stakes.
It is capable of pushing for 6K displays at a single time
and a TV.
Additionally, through the HDMI port, that is a lot
of friggin pixels.
Now, performance is 2.5 times faster than the iMac,
50 percent faster than the Mac Pro.
From a CPU standpoint, when you have the M1 Ultra
configured now, when you compare this to some of Apple's
most recent desktops, you're getting 2.5 times faster
performance than the iMac and 50 percent faster than the
MacBook Pro when it's configured with the
M1 Macs chip.
But if you double that chip and go to the M1 Ultra, prepare to
have your mind blown because this is going to be crazy.
It's 2.5 times faster than the iMac is 50 percent faster than
the Mac Pro from a CPU perspective.
From a GPU perspective, it's three point four percent
faster and this is available to order starting today,
available in stores starting next week on March 18th.
Now the performance on this device is simply ludicrous.
I don't know who this device is for, but I'm sure that there
are people out there.
It can be configured with 128 gigs of unified memory.
It's capable of delivering 7.4 gigabytes per second for read
write speeds on the SSD, and you can have up to eight
terabytes natively on that device for SSD.
That is a lot of storage and a lot of compute power.
If you are planning to buy this, please let me know.
I love to know what you do because I can't push my M1 Macs
hard enough to think about getting the M1 Ultra,
but that's just me.
And last but not least, we have Apple returning to the display
game with the Apple Studio display.
This is a $1499 display that looks like an iMac without any
the compute power into it that is available in 5K 600 nits,
which is an extremely, extremely bright HDR display.
Now this display that I have right here to my right.
This is an LG ultrafine display.
This is the one that they sell only in the Apple stores.
This display is capable of hitting 500 nits
of brightness, which is still pretty bright six
hours into brightness.
That's a full 20 percent brighter than that is,
so I'm really excited.
I actually prefer this display.
I'm going to get it next Friday.
So if you want to see that, make sure that
you are subscribed.
But this display is capable of hitting 14 million pixels at
27 inches, and it's 218 pixels per inch again 600 its
brightness supports True Tone supports P3 color gamut,
and there is a nano texture option available.
I think it's $300 additional if you want to get that.
I did not opt for that.
I control the brightness in my studio as much as I want.
Now what is interesting is that the display actually has an A13
Bionic built into the display to power a few
different things.
There is a 12 megapixel camera in this device that allows it
to sport center stage, so you are going to get that nice
centering view when you're on a video call.
In addition to having a three array mike for video calls,
in addition, you have a six speaker system, and I am really
excited to hear what this sounds like now in terms
of connectivity, there are four ports on the back three USB-C
ports at 10 gigabits per port and one Thunderbolt four port,
which is capable of delivering 96 watts of power.
It can really power any laptop that you have, including the M1
Macs that I have here, and it's even fast charge a 14 inch
MacBook Pro if you have that.
Now there are a few things that Apple did not talk about
on stage, including one we're going to receive the software
when it would be made public.
You know, Mac OS, iPad OS 15 for iOS 15, not for Watch OS
and the new accessory colorways for the iPhone, the iPad,
the Apple Watch, all those things that Apple kind of
subsequently releases every spring and every fall,
which people tend to get excited for.
I don't know about you, but I have a lot of watch bands.
I love watch bands.
Now I want to know from you what is the thing that you are
most excited for today?
Is it the new Mac studio?
Is it the new Apple Studio display?
Maybe your time for the iPhone SE?
See, I don't know.
Let me know down the comments below.
My name is Mike.
This is Tech 24-7 TV.
I will talk to you in the next one.
