Tim Cook: Hello, and welcome back to Apple Park
for our first event of 2021.
After the challenges of this past year,
we're optimistic that brighter days are just in front of us.
As we move forward, we feel it's important
that Apple continues to make a difference
in people's lives,
through our products and our values.
So we're glad you could join us today
for some exciting updates and announcements.
This week marks the annual Earth Day celebration
and I couldn't be more proud of the environmental initiatives
and commitments we are making at Apple.
Today, Apple is carbon neutral
for our global corporate operations,
with all of our offices, stores, and data centers
running on 100 percent renewable energy.
And by 2030, Apple will be 100 percent carbon neutral
across our entire end-to-end footprint,
including our supply chain and the use of our products.
This month, we launched the Restore Fund
in partnership with Conservation International,
and Goldman Sachs.
This pioneering new investment fund will provide returns
that are measured not only financially,
but by the tons of atmospheric carbon removed
by each investment.
Our goal is to remove
more than one million tons of carbon every year.
At Apple, our values and principles make us who we are.
They drive us to create products and services that are better,
easier, and more enjoyable.
Now I'd like to turn to some updates on our services,
beginning with Apple Card.
With Apple Card we set out
to completely reinvent the credit card
and enable people to live a healthier financial life.
Our customers are loving all the benefits of Apple Card
and we believe it's the most successful
credit card launch ever.
One of the things that became apparent to us in the beginning
was a lack of fairness
in the way the industry calculated credit scores.
When there were two holders of a credit card,
one got the benefit of building a good credit history
and the other did not.
We want to reinvent the way this works too.
So today, we're happy to announce
that Apple Card will allow spouses and partners to share
and merge their credit lines,
have equal rights on their account,
and build credit equally.
This solution helps deliver financial equity,
and it's a game changer.
And Apple Card can now be used by anyone in your family
over the age of thirteen,
with optional spending limits and controls for kids.
We call this set of features Apple Card Family.
These benefits reflect our ongoing mission
to reinvent the credit card
and help you and those closest to you
experience a healthier financial life.
Now let's talk about Apple Podcasts.
As you know, Apple helped launch the podcast industry
15 years ago.
And this is what it looked like.
The day we launched Podcasts in iTunes,
we had 3,000 shows in the directory.
Today, there are millions to choose from,
and Apple Podcasts is the best place to listen
to all your favorites.
And we're making the biggest change
to Apple Podcasts since its debut.
This starts with a newly designed
Apple Podcasts app.
Every show and episode has a beautiful new page
making it easy to follow, listen, and share.
We're also introducing Channels to help you find new shows
from your favorite creators.
And you'll get recommendations for new channels to explore.
We're also introducing Apple Podcasts Subscriptions,
which enables you to unlock new content
as well as additional benefits, like ad-free listening,
early access, and much more.
So now you can help your favorite podcasters
build their business and fuel their creativity.
Apple Podcasts Subscriptions launches in 170 regions
and countries next month.
These major updates will make listening to podcasts easier
and more enjoyable than ever before.
Now let's turn to iPhone.
iPhone 12 is the most popular smartphone in the world,
and people love its amazing features:
Super Retina XDR displays with Ceramic Shield,
incredible camera systems, and 5G.
And, of course, they love the stunning design
and selection of beautiful colors.
And we have another beautiful color,
perfect for spring.

We're so excited to introduce a new, gorgeous purple.
It looks stunning with the precision-milled back glass
and new design.
It has elements of sophistication and brightness
with the color-matched aluminum edges.
It's absolutely beautiful.
Purple joins the iPhone 12 lineup
for pre-order this Friday,
and it will be available on April 30th.
One of the things that customers love about the iPhone experience
is Find My,
and we have some exciting news to share.
Here's Carolyn to tell you more.

♪ I can see ♪
♪ I'm caught up Drifting in your rainbow eyes ♪
[ECHOING]
♪ And I can see Every color in me ♪
♪
♪ I can see every color in you ♪
Carolyn Wolfman-Estrada: One of the most helpful features
we pioneered is finding your iPhone through Find My.
Over time, we made Find My even more powerful.
Find My includes a vast end-to-end encrypted
and anonymous network
approaching a billion Apple devices,
that can help locate a missing iPhone,
Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac even when it's offline.
We also opened the Find My network
so you can use Find My to find third-party products.
And this is just the beginning!
Today we're adding to this growing ecosystem
with a new iPhone accessory
that makes finding things even easier.
Keys.

Carolyn: This is AirTag!
The next time the couch eats your keys,
AirTag will help find them.
AirTag uses the Find My network
so iPhone can help you keep track of
and find your things.
You can personalize your AirTag to make it your own,
even with emoji.
AirTag is easy to use by itself,
or with beautiful accessories we've designed.
So you can attach it to just about anything,
like your backpack, luggage,
or whatever else you have.
You can keep track of your AirTag right in the Find My app.
Any iPhone with our U1 chip, like iPhone 12,
uses helpful overlays to guide you directly
to a lost item when it's nearby.
We call this Precision Finding.
As you move,
Precision Finding uses our U1 chip
to get the precise distance to your AirTag.
iPhone fuses that data with input from the camera,
accelerometer, and gyroscope
to give you visual, haptic, and audible feedback,
guiding you right to your AirTag.
[LOW TONE]
[BRIGHT CHIME]
At Apple, we believe privacy is a human right,
and that's why we designed it into AirTag
and the Find My network.
With the Find My network everyone can participate
without sharing their location to anyone, including Apple.
AirTag is designed to track items, not people.
So we included safety features to discourage unwanted tracking,
like unwanted tag detection, rotating identifiers,
and audible alerts from unknown tags.
These capabilities are an industry first
and are driven by our commitment to privacy.
So that's AirTag.
AirTag is just $29,
and because you likely have more than one important item
in your life, a 4-pack is just $99.
Orders start this Friday,
and AirTag will be available April 30th.
We also worked with Hermès
on a special handcrafted leather collection,
a bag charm, luggage tag, and key ring,
each including an AirTag etched with an Hermès signature.
With AirTag and the Find My network,
iPhone can now help you find even more things.
And now, back to Tim.

Tim: Ted Lasso returns this July, and I can't wait.
And of course, the best way to enjoy it,
and everything on Apple TV+,
is with Apple TV 4K.
To tell you more about what's new with Apple TV 4K,
here's Cindy.
♪ "Carrera" by Brokenstra & YADAM ♪
♪
Cindy Lin: What makes Apple TV truly unique
is its deep integration of Apple hardware,
software, and services.
Apple TV is built on the same world-class Apple silicon
we put into iPhone.
And it runs tvOS,
the most powerful TV operating system.
Giving Apple TV all this power,
power that smart TVs just don't have,
lets you magically transform your living room,
so you can get in your morning workout
with Apple Fitness+,
show off your school project using AirPlay,
battle it out on Apple Arcade,
and even sneak in a late night movie with AirPods.
The ability to do all of these things and so much more
is why we've put so much power into Apple TV.
And it's why I'm so excited to share with you
the next generation of Apple TV 4K.
Apple TV 4K is now built with the A12 Bionic,
bringing a new level of performance
that will be a massive upgrade to your TV.
Delivering the highest visual quality possible
has always been core to Apple TV.
It already supports High Dynamic Range formats,
such as Dolby Vision,
revealing more realistic colors and greater detail.
And with the A12 Bionic,
the new Apple TV 4K can now play HDR in high frame rate.
This allows video to play more smoothly
and appear more lifelike than ever before,
which will be great for fast-moving action, like sports.
We're working with leading providers across the globe
as they begin to stream in high frame rate HDR.
And it's not just professionally-produced programs
that will look amazing.
For those of you with an iPhone 12 Pro,
you can already record in Dolby Vision
at 60 frames per second.
And to enjoy all these moments in the best quality
on the new Apple TV 4K,
we've enhanced AirPlay to support high frame rate HDR.
We want everything you watch on Apple TV to look amazing,
but because every TV's settings are different,
it's challenging to know if you're getting the best picture,
until now.
With our new Color Balance feature,
Apple TV will work with your iPhone
and its advanced sensors
to improve your TV's picture quality.
Your iPhone uses its camera and proximity sensor
to guide you to an onscreen target.
Color measurements start automatically.
Apple TV uses the light sensor in your iPhone
to compare your TV's color balance
to the industry-standard specifications
used by cinematographers worldwide.
Using this data,
Apple TV will then automatically tailor
its video output to compensate for any inaccuracies
in your TV's picture settings.
So you'll now see much more accurate color
without you ever having to adjust your TV.
The results can be dramatic,
with more natural colors and improved contrast
making your TV look better than ever.
Of course, the way you interact with Apple TV
is with the Siri Remote.
So this year, we completely redesigned it
with new functionality and controls.
It starts with a new one-piece aluminum design
that fits perfectly in your hand,
and with contrasting controls
you can easily find and hit just the button you want.
We also have a brand new clickpad,
with five-way navigation for better accuracy,
and the entire clickpad is touch enabled,
preserving the fast directional swipes users love.
And we did something pretty cool with the outer ring.
We've given it a new circular gesture
that turns it into a jog control.
Perfect for finding just the scene you're looking for.
We've also made it the only remote you need
for your TV.
It now has a Power button
that controls your TV's power,
and another for Mute.
And we've moved the Siri button to the side,
just like on your iPhone.
The enclosure is made from 100 percent recycled aluminum
joining Apple TV 4K and all of our products
in furthering our commitment
to reducing our environmental impact.
So that's the new Apple TV 4K.
It'll be available for $179 with 32GB,
or $199 with double the storage capacity,
perfect for enjoying even more apps and games.
You can order on April 30th,
and they'll be available in the second half of May.
With the power of A12 Bionic,
the realism of High Frame Rate HDR,
and a totally redesigned Siri Remote,
the new Apple TV 4K brings the absolute best
entertainment experience to your home.

Wired called M1 "a Mac revolution."
M1 delivers incredible performance,
custom technologies,
and revolutionary power efficiency.
With a giant leap in performance per watt,
every Mac with M1 is transformed
into a completely different class of product.
This isn't just an upgrade.
It's a breakthrough.
Our customers agree,
as Mac continues to lead the industry
in customer satisfaction.
And our Mac business has never been stronger.
Our M1 products have continued to fuel
the Mac's incredible growth
and now represent the majority of our Mac sales.
Today, M1's profound impact on the Mac continues
as we are about to take another exciting step forward.
To tell you more, here's John.
♪ "Carrera" by Brokenstra & YADAM ♪

John Ternus: M1 has been a gigantic leap forward
for the Mac.
It has redefined the MacBook Air,
MacBook Pro, and Mac mini,
shattering expectations of what each of them can do.
They've shown how M1 plus macOS Big Sur
can bring breakthrough performance
and power efficiency to the Mac.
Users have been absolutely blown away
by their responsiveness and amazing battery life.
And developers have been busy delivering Universal versions
of their apps.
In fact, there are now thousands of Universal apps available,
that take full advantage of M1 and Big Sur.
Including, Photoshop,
Twitter, Microsoft Office,
Quicken, Slack,
Affinity Publisher,
Zappos, 1Password, and DaVinci Resolve.
And there are more arriving every week.
These Macs demonstrate
how M1 can dramatically move the Mac forward.
But there's even more that it can do.
With its system-on-a-chip architecture,
M1 allows us to push the Mac
far beyond what was previously possible.
And that's why we're here.
Because today, we're thrilled to introduce a Mac
that has been built from the ground up around M1.
And here it is.

Colleen Novielli: The all-new, completely redesigned iMac
is more personal, more powerful,
and more capable than ever.
And it's incredible from every angle.
It's bursting with color
from both the front and the back,
and it practically disappears when you view it from the side.
Let's take a look at its revolutionary design.
iMac's new form is stunning,
with a spectrum of vibrant colors,
so you can choose the one that fits your own, personal style.
We wanted it to feel light and optimistic,
while instantly brightening up any space.
From the front, iMac is clean and simple
with a single sheet of glass covering the entire surface.
The softer colors and light gray borders
ground the iMac in your environment
and allow you to focus on your content.
In contrast to the more neutral front,
the back is designed to really celebrate color,
with bold, richly saturated shades.
In many places, the back of iMac
is the first thing you'll see,
so we created colors that would bring a sense of joy
to any space.
Next, let's check out the striking side profile,
where you really see the profound impact of M1.
With every generation, iMac has moved closer
to our vision: to make the computer disappear.
And while we've had the same great design for several years,
we haven't had the technology to take the next big step.
Until now,
because M1 has enabled us
to get closer to that vision than ever before.
For comparison, let's take a look
at the previous iMac.
The logic board and thermals were huge
because of the power-hungry processor.
And the CPU, GPU, and other components
were all separate chips in the system.
Now, with the system-on-a-chip architecture of M1,
these are all consolidated into this much smaller logic board.
And because M1 is far more power efficient,
the bulky thermal system is replaced by just two small fans.
This keeps the system cool,
while running exceptionally quiet.
In fact, for typical use, iMac stays under 10 decibels,
which is barely audible to the human ear.
Together, these new components
help reduce iMac's overall volume by over 50 percent.
The result is a design that's much more compact
and just 11.5 millimeters thin.
And with an even smaller footprint,
it fits easily into many more spaces.
Next, iMac has always been about its best-in-class display.
So on the new iMac
we made the display an expansive 24 inches.
By narrowing the borders,
we fit the significantly bigger display
in a design that's only slightly larger
than the 21.5-inch iMac.
And it has nearly 11.3 million pixels
in its 4.5K Retina display.
So you can see your content in all its glorious detail.
And with a P3 wide gamut and over a billion colors,
plus 500 nits of brightness,
every image is brilliant and vivid.
It also has True Tone,
which automatically adjusts the color temperature
as your environment changes,
for a more natural viewing experience.
And it has a coating with industry-leading
low reflectivity for greater comfort
and readability.
iMac's new design,
with its immersive display, is awesome.
And we're just getting started.
We also pushed every other aspect
of the experience forward.
First, we've taken iMac's camera, mics, and speakers
to a whole new level.
And to tell you more, here's Navpreet.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
Navpreet Kaloty: We've all been spending
more and more time on video calls.
So with the new iMac
it was important to us
to enhance the core technologies
that keep us connected.
Let's start with the camera.
iMac now has a 1080p FaceTime HD Camera
which doubles the resolution, for much higher quality video.
And with and larger sensor,
the camera performs great in low light.
The camera is paired with M1,
which has Apple's latest image signal processor, or ISP.
This works to further enhance the image quality
with computational video.
Let's take a look at the processing pipeline.
As you use the camera, the ISP goes through
a series of steps to analyze and enhance each pixel,
at over a trillion operations per second.
For example, it works with M1's Neural Engine
to make more intelligent exposure
and white balance adjustments,
so your lighting is always just right.
It utilizes advanced noise reduction algorithms
to bring a new level of clarity to your video.
And it uses tone mapping
to deliver enhanced dynamic range,
bringing more detail to bright highlights
and dark shadows.
This camera will make you look like a rock star.
In fact, it's the best camera we've ever put in a Mac.
And to complement the camera,
we gave iMac a studio-quality, three-mic array.
The mics are engineered to reduce feedback
from the rest of the system,
so conversations flow more naturally,
and you'll interrupt each other less.
And beamforming allows these mics
to better ignore background noise
and focus on your voice,
which means you'll come through loud and clear on video calls,
or when recording an audio track.
This is also the best mic system ever in a Mac.
Now, with this amazing camera and mic array,
you know we leveled up the speakers too.
To create big, room-filling sound,
speakers need to displace a lot of air.
In order to do this, we increased the power
driving the iMac's sound system.
Now, while iMac needed to have big sound,
it also had to deliver accurate sound.
So we gave it two pairs of force-cancelling woofers
that produce an incredible bass response
while reducing unintended vibrations
from that increased power.
And we balanced each set with a high-performance tweeter.
The result is a six-speaker system
that produces a massive soundstage
with strong, articulate bass
and crystal-clear mids and highs.
All of these speaker innovations,
coupled with advanced algorithms,
enable iMac to support spatial audio
when playing video with Dolby Atmos.
On the beautiful 4.5K Retina display,
it's an outstanding movie-watching experience.
With its dramatic improvements in balance, vocal clarity,
and instrument separation,
iMac delivers a remarkably robust
and high-quality audio experience.
Simply put, it's the best sound system
ever in a Mac,
and we can't wait for you to hear it.
Back to you, Colleen.
Colleen: With these camera and audio features,
and its stunning display,
iMac delivers an entirely new level of capability.
Now add in the power and performance of M1
and macOS Big Sur,
this experience is simply unrivaled.
You can feel the difference immediately,
as iMac wakes almost instantly,
and your apps launch with blazing speed.
Everything you do on macOS Big Sur
is extremely responsive,
and the apps you use every day are fast and fluid.
Like in Safari, you can browse even faster
and run hundreds of tabs at once.
In Photos, you can fly through edits
to your iPhone images.
And in Apple Arcade,
gaming on iMac is better than ever,
with awesome and exclusive games,
like Warp Drive.
M1 delivers so much great performance,
you can even keep playing
while simultaneously taking your next Zoom call.
And with powerful creative apps optimized for M1,
it's easier than ever to explore your passion,
or find a new one.
When it comes to CPU performance
in apps like Xcode, Lightroom, and iMovie,
iMac is up to 85 percent faster
than the previous 21.5-inch iMac models.
So you can compile new apps in Xcode
in a fraction of the time,
easily work with massive 100-megapixel photos
in Lightroom, and export your favorite
video projects in iMovie faster than ever.
And when it comes to GPU performance,
for certain apps like Affinity Photo and Photoshop,
iMac is up to two times faster than the previous models.
And it's even up to 50 percent faster
than the most powerful discrete graphics
in the fastest 21.5-inch iMac.
So you can render edits
to your next brilliant composition in real-time
with Affinity Photo,
or quickly transform a picture into an oil painting
with Photoshop.
And in Final Cut Pro,
you can edit up to five streams of 4K footage,
or one stream of 8K footage,
without dropping a frame.
And machine learning is now up to three times faster,
in apps that leverage M1's 16-core Neural Engine.
So apps like Vectornator,
which can swiftly turn a photo into vector layers,
get even faster on iMac.
And because iMac has the same chip architecture
as iPhone and iPad,
you can run iPhone and iPad apps
like Headspace and Zillow,
right on your iMac, without breaking your workflow.
Or you can enjoy games,
like Sky: Children of the Light,
while you spread out on iMac
and use your keyboard as a game controller.
And with iCloud and Continuity,
it's easier than ever to use iMac and iPhone together.
Your calls and texts come right to iMac
so no need to switch devices when you're in the zone.
And that email you started on iPhone?
You can use Hand Off to finish it on iMac.
And you can even copy text and images on iPhone
and then paste them right into a document on iMac,
with the magic of Universal Clipboard.
And all your content is always available
and up to date across all your Apple devices.
You're going to love the combination
of M1 and macOS on the new iMac.
It's the ultimate Big Sur experience.
And we're not done yet.
iMac has state-of-the-art connectivity
for all your data and devices.
It has up to four USB-C ports
including two Thunderbolt ports
for super fast data transfer,
and support for up to a 6K display,
like the Pro Display XDR.
And we created a new power connector
that attaches magnetically
so it's quick and easy to connect.
It has a 2-meter, color-matched woven cable
that leads to a small power adapter,
which can be placed on the floor behind your desk.
And for Ethernet, check out this cool innovation.
It connects to the adapter
and runs through the power cable,
to keep your desktop less cluttered.
Now let's take a closer look at iMac's new keyboard,
mouse, and trackpad options.
You can choose from three types of keyboards
with gorgeous aluminum enclosures
color-matched to iMac.
First, there's a Magic Keyboard with new Emoji,
Spotlight, Dictation,
and Do Not Disturb keys,
and a Lock key, to instantly lock iMac.
Next, there's a Magic Keyboard with an exciting new feature:
Touch ID, which comes to the Mac desktop
for the first time.
Wireless fingerprint data transmission
is made possible by a secure processor
in the keyboard.
It communicates directly with the Secure Enclave in M1,
creating an encrypted channel to protect your fingerprint data
from end to end.
So whether you're making a purchase with Apple Pay
or unlocking your iMac, it's fast, easy, and secure.
And Touch ID also works with Fast User Switching
so you can change to a different user profile
with just the touch of a finger.
And there's a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID
and a numeric keypad, too.
Magic Mouse, loved by iMac users,
now features color-matched aluminum.
And Magic Trackpad,
still by far the industry's best,
has a refined shape to match the new keyboard.
These new accessories complete the system
and bring even more capability to iMac.
With a colorful, cutting-edge design,
best-in-class features,
the power of M1, and macOS Big Sur,
the new iMac can do it all,
dynamically transforming any space
into whatever you need it to be.
Let's take a look at the many ways
iMac can fit into your life.
Say "Hello" to the new iMac.
You've never seen a computer like this before.
Yeah, it's really that thin.
But it's not magic.
It's the M1 chip, which is kind of magic.
And it makes the new iMac fast.
Like your apps open instantly fast.
Like check that text while you clean your inbox
while you share that photo while you stream that show fast.
That's fast.
It has a 4.5K Retina display

And what happens on your iPhone
also happens on your iMac.
That's definitely magic.
This is the new iMac.
Oh, wait, I forgot!
It comes in seven colors.
Colleen: With iMac, the possibilities are endless.
And like all of our products,
iMac has been built to minimize its impact on the environment.
100 percent of the virgin wood fiber in iMac's packaging
comes from responsibly managed forests.
And iMac has 100 percent recycled rare earth magnets
in the speakers, fan motor, and power connector.
And of course, iMac meets Apple's high standards
for environmental responsibility in materials,
renewable energy, and energy efficiency.
So that's the new iMac.
With its extraordinary design,
powerful performance, and incredible features,
it starts at just $1299 in four colors.
And at $1499, iMac comes in seven colors
with these additional features.
You can order the new iMac starting April 30th.
And it will be available in the second half of May.
The new iMac is the first Mac
completely redesigned around the revolutionary M1 chip.
With a 24-inch, 4.5K Retina display,
the best camera, mics, and speakers ever in a Mac,
macOS Big Sur, and Touch ID,
iMac is the most personal, powerful,
capable, and simply the most fun it's ever been.
We can't wait to see what you do on iMac.
And now back to John.
John: The new iMac joins MacBook Air,
MacBook Pro, and Mac mini
in our incredible family of M1 Macs.
And with the new iMac,
the strongest lineup of Macs we've ever had gets even better.
The new iMac is another huge step forward
in our transition to Apple Silicon,
and it brings the amazing M1 experience
to even more Mac users.
But it's not just Mac users who want to get their hands on it.
[EXCITING MUSIC]
♪
Raja Bose: That's right,
the M1 chip is not just in the Mac,
it's now in iPad Pro.
And it's gonna blow you away.
iPad Pro has always used turbo-charged versions
of our A-series chips to deliver a powerful
and responsive experience
that's years ahead of anything else.
M1 continues that momentum
by taking it to an entirely new level,
with a big jump in performance to run powerful apps
and drive a high-performance ecosystem.
For M1 to fit into its incredibly thin
and light design requires power efficiency
that's way beyond just being better.
It has to be amazing,
and M1 delivers.
And because M1 shares
the same fundamental architecture of A-Series chips,
iPadOS is already built to take full advantage
of its powerful technology.
The next-level performance that M1 unlocks on iPad Pro
starts with its powerful CPU.
Built around the world's fastest CPU core in low power silicon,
the 8-core design of M1 delivers a whopping 50 percent jump
over the industry-leading performance
of the previous iPad Pro.
What's amazing is that compared to the first generation iPad,
this iPad Pro now delivers
up to 75 times faster CPU performance.
It's no wonder apps are pushing the limits
of what's possible on iPad.
From blazing performance for vector and raster tools
in Affinity Designer,
to rendering the most detailed designs with Shapr3D,
to adding complex effects to 4K videos in LumaFusion.
iPad's expansive display comes bursting to life
with M1's amazing graphics performance.
The 8-core GPU is in a class of its own
delivering up to 40 percent faster graphics performance.
Again, compared to the first generation iPad--
get ready for this--
the graphics of this new iPad Pro
is now over 1,500 times faster.
That's just ridiculous.
So painting with watercolors and oils in Adobe Fresco
look and feel like the real thing.
And you can bring the most intricate AR models
into the real world with JigSpace.
You can also play the latest games
with console-quality graphics at super high frame rates.
This raw performance,
along with the ProMotion display,
four speakers,
and now, support for the latest PlayStation
or Xbox game controllers, with haptics,
makes playing games on iPad Pro insanely fun.
With this combination of CPU and graphics performance,
the new iPad Pro is, yet again,
the fastest device of its kind.
It's not even close.
But it's bigger than that,
because powerful, custom technologies
like our latest 16-core Apple Neural Engine,
advanced Image Signal Processor,
and unified, high bandwidth memory architecture
make iPad Pro more capable than ever.
And the industry leading power efficiency of M1
enables all of that amazing performance
along with all-day battery life
in the incredibly thin and light design of iPad Pro.
The new iPad Pro also allows users
to access their content faster than ever
with up to two times faster storage.
And, for our most demanding users,
a new 2TB configuration
gives you enormous storage capacity,
so you can keep up to 60,000 ProRAW photos
at your fingertips,
or up to 220 hours of 4K HDR video content with you
wherever you go.
M1 brings much faster connectivity
to iPad Pro as well.
The USB-C port already supports super fast data transfers.
And now we're adding Thunderbolt
with USB 4 support as well.
Making it the fastest, most versatile port ever
on an iPad,
or any other device of its kind.
Not only is there four times more bandwidth
for wired connections,
up to 40 gigabits per second,
Thunderbolt also opens up a massive ecosystem
of high performance accessories
like super fast storage,
external displays, like the Pro Display XDR,
now at its full 6K resolution,
and all connected using high-performance cables
and docks.
iPad Pro now fits perfectly into so many more workflows.
Now on a mobile device like iPad Pro,
ultrafast wireless connections are absolutely critical.
And that's why we've added 5G to iPad Pro.
Accessing files,
collaborating with colleagues,
and backing up data are fundamental
when you're on the go.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
This is huge!
Super fast 5G cellular connections
lets users be creative and productive
wherever they are.
Download speeds can be as high as 3.5 gigabits per second
in ideal conditions.
Of course, 5G speeds will vary by carrier and region.
In the US, iPad Pro also supports millimeter wave,
the high frequency version of 5G.
And with this model, iPad Pro can reach
up to 4 gigabits per second peak download speeds
in ideal conditions.
So no matter where your work takes you,
you can live-stream from wherever you are.
This is Ashwaria, reporting from San Francisco.
First off, I want to congratulate everybody...
Raja: And you never have to miss a meeting
on your way to work.
I was on mute. Sorry. Uh, I wanna congratulate...
Raja: The blazing speeds of 5G
allow you to do just about anything,
just about anywhere.
And there's more.
iPad's versatility is further enhanced
by its Pro Cameras.
And to tell you more, here's Fiona.
[DRAMATIC TONE]
Fiona O'Leary: Customers love taking stunning photos
and videos on their iPad.
And with powerful apps,
these advanced cameras enable so much more,
like video capture for mobile journalists
and content creators,
especially with the built-in studio quality mics on iPad Pro.
And with the LiDAR Scanner,
they pave the way to completely new workflows
like motion-tracking with CamTrackAR.
Super accurate depth data
makes going from green screen to pre-visualization on location
easier than ever.
And you can build that final render
with greater confidence.
Or how designers and architects visualize their projects
with Arki, on-site, at full scale,
complete with people occlusion,
realistic shadows, and real-time lighting.
Or to simply bring your imagination to life.
Check out this new version of Clips,
which uses the LiDAR Scanner
to transform your living room
into a magical space for your next video.
How fun is that?
And with the more powerful ISP in M1,
we get Smart HDR 3,
where the ISP and the Neural Engine work together
to adjust color, contrast, and noise
in distinct parts of a photo.
And in low light conditions,
the ISP and LiDAR Scanner
quickly and accurately focus images and videos
to capture incredible details from almost no light at all.
On the front, the TrueDepth camera
instantly and securely unlocks iPad with Face ID,
and takes portrait selfies,
which look amazing on that large display.
And now, more than ever, it plays an important role
when collaborating with co-workers,
and connecting with family and friends.
So in the new iPad Pro,
we're going to take a huge step forward
by updating the TrueDepth camera system
to include an all-new, Ultra Wide camera,
designed specifically for iPad.
It features a new 12-megapixel sensor
with a 122 degree field of view,
which enables something really cool.
And we call it Center Stage!
Center Stage uses the new Ultra Wide camera
and machine learning to recognize
and keep you in the center of the view.
What's amazing is, as you move around,
it automatically pans to keep you in the shot.
And that's not all.
When others join in, it recognizes them too
and zooms out to fit everyone into the view.
So whether it's a white boarding session
with co-workers or a family get together,
the experience of connecting is now more engaging than ever.
So that's the new Ultra Wide camera with Center Stage.
Video calls never looked so good.
Now, back to Raja.
Raja: iPad is a magical sheet of glass
that can become anything you want it to be.
And the centerpiece of that experience on iPad Pro,
is its stunning Liquid Retina display,
which features a long list of advanced display technologies,
many that we've pioneered on iPad.
We introduced it as the world's most advanced mobile display.
The Liquid Retina display delivers nearly 4 million pixels
on the 11-inch iPad Pro.
Users love being able to take
the most powerful iPad experience with them everywhere
in a portable one-pound design.
On the immersive 12.9-inch iPad Pro,
it delivers an enormous 5.6 million pixels.
This is for those who want the biggest window
for their creative workflows.
And we have some exciting news here.
We know our users are increasingly creating content
with the high brightness and high contrast ratio of HDR.
So we first equipped creative users
with the Pro Display XDR to view and edit their content.
This amazing display
delivers extremely high brightness
and an extremely high contrast ratio.
And now we're gonna take the next big step.
We're bringing the stunning front-of-screen performance
of our Pro Display XDR to our 12.9-inch iPad Pro,
so our users can take their XDR workflow wherever they go.
This is the new Liquid Retina XDR display.
And it delivers 1000 nits of full-screen brightness,
a breathtaking 1,600 nits of peak brightness,
and a phenomenal 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio,
just like Pro Display XDR.
Now, due to the ultra-thin design of iPad Pro,
compared to the Pro Display XDR,
we had to take an entirely new approach to make this happen.
So to tell you all about it, here's Heidi.
Heidi Delgado: Extreme Dynamic Range
is all about delivering a visual experience
that reflects what we see in the real world.
This means seeing the brightest highlights,
along with subtle details in the darkest parts of an image.
Bringing the XDR experience to iPad Pro
was an enormous challenge.
We had to rethink how the display creates light.
So we went back to the drawing board.
To achieve way higher brightness,
we used an array of LEDs
across the entire back of the display,
similar to the Pro Display XDR.
And to fit within the ultra-thin iPad Pro design,
these LEDs need to be incredibly small.
So we developed a Mini-LED,
which is over 120 times smaller in volume
than the previous design.
And because these Mini-LEDs are so small,
achieving extremely high brightness
requires lots of them.
And I mean thousands of them.
In fact, there are over 10,000 LEDs
that deliver XDR-level brightness
on that stunning 12.9-inch display.
That's a massive increase
over the 72 LEDs that were in the previous iPad Pro.
We then grouped these Mini-LEDs
into over 2,500 local dimming zones.
So depending on the content,
we can precisely adjust the brightness in each zone.
The result is an extremely high
one million to one contrast ratio.
The light is then shaped by a series of incredibly thin,
custom-designed, optical films and diffusers.
And that's why this display can fit into a design
that's just 6.4 millimeters thin,
weighs just 1.5 pounds,
and still delivers all-day battery life.
So HDR content with the finest specular highlights,
like galaxies and star fields,
is more true-to-life than ever.
We're thrilled to deliver the XDR experience
on the new iPad Pro.
Back to Raja.
Raja: There's never been a display
that delivers this kind of visual experience
on any other mobile device.
So users can now do things they could never do before.
Videographers have a large XDR display
they can take with them everywhere
and edit true-to-life HDR content using LumaFusion.
Photographers can see even more detail
when editing their images right on iPad using Lightroom.
And filmmakers can more confidently review
and approve HDR content with Frame.IO,
previewing it as it's meant to be seen
from anywhere on the set.
And everyone can enjoy a mobile, cinematic viewing
and listening experience,
with support for HDR video formats like HDR10,
HLG, and Dolby Vision.
And the advanced sound system supports Dolby Atmos as well.
So this is our new 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display.
With this amazing set of features,
it goes beyond any display in the world.
And we couldn't wait to put the new iPad Pro,
with all of its advanced new technologies,
in the hands of our developers.
Check out what happened when we did.
