[lively violin playing] [upbeat rock music] Like a sound you hear that lingers in your ear But you can't forget from sundown to sunset It's on in the air, you hear it everywhere No matter what you do It's gonna grab a hold on you California soul California soul They say the sun comes up every morning now And if you listen, oh so carefully The winds that rise on the high tide Whistles a melody So the people started to sing And that's how the sun gave birth, I'm told To California soul California soul You might as well get with it Like a sound you hear that lingers in your ear Oh, oh California soul Tim: Good morning, and thank you for joining us. I really love the incredible energy in that opening. It represents the way we feel about California. California has always been a place for people with big ambitions and big dreams, a place where people are fueled with optimism to make things better, to make things that can change the world. It's such an important part of who we are at Apple, and inspires us in everything we create and do.
We're proud to call California our home. We have a lot to talk about today. Let's get started with Apple TV+. Apple TV+ is a home to the world's most creative storytellers, and continues to expand with award-winning programming.
Apple Original series, films, and documentaries have now been honored with more than 130 wins and over 500 nominations in less than two years. We're so proud this year that Apple TV+ has 35 Primetime Emmy nominations, including 20 for "Ted Lasso," a record for the first season of a comedy series. And we're just getting started.
Let's take a quick look at a few shows that are premiering this fall. Things will happen to you. Things that you cannot control. Raw emotion will find you. When it does, what you do will define who you are. [exciting music] Our heroes reunite.
- Hi! - Oh, my God. - Hi! - You okay? Oh, yes. I wanna do something that matters. Ooh La, la, la, la, la, let's live in the moment Forget Sunday morning Ah! What the hell happened to my face? [laughs] Welcome back. I'm gonna compete with you, buddy. "Buddy"? They're worried you can predict the future.
They're worried people believe I can. My name is Jon Stewart. Welcome to... "The Problem with Jon Stewart." We should put a comma in that. The world wants to test us.
To see if it can break us. He didn't beat you because he's better. He beat you because he's smarter. Do you think we'll make it? La, la, la, la, la, let's live in the moment.
Not without my team. I think I can help you. The first thing I'm going to do is completely unethical. I'm gonna give you a hug. - Oh, ooh. - I'm a hugger.
Hey, remember to focus on the here and now. Living in the moment, it's a gift. That's why they call it the present, y'all. Ooh La, la, la, la, la, let's live in the moment Tim: I can't wait for all the new shows and movies coming to Apple TV+, including the second season of one of my favorites, "The Morning Show," which starts this Friday.
Next, we're thrilled to share our newest product announcements, starting with iPad. There's no other device like iPad, and today, it's more popular and more essential than ever. And the reason it's so popular is its amazing versatility.
It can transform into whatever you need it to be. With advanced displays, users can literally touch their content, unlike any other device. With powerful and efficient Apple designed chips, iPad delivers breathtaking performance all day long.
And with fast connectivity, advanced cameras, and accessories like the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, iPad becomes even more versatile, extending what users can do on iPad and where they can do it. At the heart of it all is iPadOS delivering powerful features, while maintaining the simplicity of a touch-first experience. What makes iPad even more versatile are the over 1 million apps designed specifically for its large canvas. The iPad business has never been stronger. We've grown by over 40% this past year.
We have a great lineup today with industry-leading customer satisfaction, and it's about to get even stronger. It starts with our most popular iPad, which delivers the full iPad experience at an incredible affordable price. And today it gets even better. This is the new iPad, and to tell you all about it, here's Melody. [lively music] ♪ ♪ Melody: This new iPad is packed full of updates, so let's jump in. Under the hood is a more powerful chip, A13 Bionic.
And it pushes even further than the speedy A12 from last year's iPad with 20% faster performance in every aspect of the chip from the CPU and GPU to the Neural Engine. A13 is leaps ahead of the competition. In fact, it makes this iPad up to three times faster than the best-selling Chromebook and up to six times faster than the best-selling Android tablet. And it means users will see even more responsive performance for all the things they love to do on iPad, from everyday uses like messaging and browsing the web to playing immersive, high-quality games.
And as users explore more advanced apps like Adobe Fresco with its super realistic water colors, A13 delivers the performance they need and then some. And the more powerful Neural Engine in A13 makes next-generation machine learning experiences like Live Text in iPadOS 15 even faster. The upgraded image signal processor in A13 also means the rear camera captures great photos with improved autofocus in low light, and better selfies from the front camera as well.
Now, the front camera on iPad is essential for things like remote learning and connecting with family. And that's why we're so thrilled to give it a big upgrade. It's now a 12 MP Ultra Wide camera that produces a huge leap in image quality and enables a super popular feature from iPad Pro, and that's Center Stage. We're bringing the magical Center Stage experience from iPad Pro to this new iPad.
Enabled by the Ultra Wide front camera and the Neural Engine, Center Stage makes video calls more engaging by automatically detecting people and dynamically adjusting the frame as they move around or as more people join in. It works in landscape orientation and portrait, so users can enjoy Center Stage in all the ways they use iPad. Not only does Center Stage work in FaceTime, it makes video calls more natural in other popular apps, like Zoom, BlueJeans, and Webex. And it's not just for video conferencing. Users can record, stream, and post Center Stage video in apps like DoubleTake, Explain Everything, and TikTok. It makes you more productive on iPad, and it's simply more fun.
Another new feature coming to this iPad that users love is True Tone. It adjusts the display to the color temperature of a room to provide a more comfortable viewing experience. And by retaining the same popular design, this iPad supports a vast array of accessories, including the thin and light Smart Keyboard, and third party keyboards like Logitech's latest rugged combo with trackpad for schools. And of course, this iPad supports the first-generation Apple Pencil, where iPadOS makes the experience of using Apple Pencil as easy and natural as pen and paper. And this new iPad will ship with iPadOS 15, which is packed with great new features.
For example, you can place widgets among your apps, making important information available with just a glance. New multitasking controls make it even easier to launch and use multiple apps. Quick Note gives you a fast and easy way to take notes anywhere.
And the list goes on. iPadOS is so immensely capable and so easy to use. When you combine it with a beautiful display, great cameras, broad accessory support, Gigabit-class LTE, and all-day battery life, this iPad delivers enormous value because this new iPad starts at just $329. And that's with twice the storage, starting at 64 gigabytes. For schools, it's even more affordable at just $299.
It comes in Space Gray and Silver, and cellular models are available as well. You can order the new iPad today, and it will be available next week. With the power of A13 Bionic, a new 12 MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, True Tone, double the storage, and the versatility of iPadOS 15, this is a giant upgrade for our most popular iPad. Now back to Tim. Tim: We're excited that our most popular iPad is now so much better.
And now let's talk about iPad mini. There's simply no other device like iPad mini. It gives users all the power of iPad in its most portable form, which makes it indispensable for a wide range of uses, like when it's secured to the leg of a pilot in flight or pulled from a doctor's lab coat to care for patients in the ER. iPad mini is in a class of its own. And today we're giving our littlest iPad its biggest upgrade ever. Introducing the all-new iPad mini.
[upbeat music] ♪ ♪ Katie: As Tim said, we're giving iPad mini a huge set of updates– a complete redesign that puts everything our users love about iPad right in the palm of their hand. The all-new enclosure features a beautiful all-screen design with narrow borders and elegant rounded corners. The design is remarkably thin and light and absolutely stunning. And iPad mini now comes in a gorgeous array of new colors. Purple, Pink, Starlight, and Space Gray.
And this design features a brilliant Liquid Retina display. With this new design we were able to increase the screen size all the way out to 8.3 inches, while keeping the same compact footprint. With wide color, True Tone, 500 nits of brightness, and the lowest reflectivity in the industry, everything you view on iPad mini will look great wherever you go. And delivering this edge-to-edge screen meant finding a new location for Touch ID. So just like iPad Air, we put it right in the top button of iPad mini. Touch ID is fast, easy, and secure, whether you're unlocking your iPad or using ApplePay.
iPad mini is already the fastest device of its kind, and the performance of the new iPad mini is simply remarkable. Compared to the previous generation, the new iPad mini sees a 40% jump in CPU performance and a whopping 80% leap in GPU performance. So whether you're using ForeFlight to navigate your flight plan with live wind speed overlays or playing the graphically rich game "Star Wars: Hunters" online with your friends, the new iPad mini will power right through it with ease. And the Neural Engine, for powerful machine learning applications, also takes a big leap forward on the new mini, increasing performance by up to two times over the previous generation. Combined with the CPU and the GPU, the Neural Engine enables apps to deliver next-level experiences. Like the new Translate app in iPadOS 15, which can automatically translate a conversation in real time.
The performance of the new iPad mini is on a whole new level. And we know that iPad users rely on ultra-fast connections. Well, the most mobile iPad is about to get a lot faster and even more versatile.
iPad mini now has a USB-C port, so you get the same great USB-C functionality that we brought to iPad Air, which means it is up to ten times faster than its predecessor. So iPad mini can now connect to a vast ecosystem of USB-C accessories, which is great, whether you're a photographer who needs to connect to cameras when shooting on location or a doctor in a remote area using Butterfly to conduct an ultrasound. And when users are on the go, it's crucial to have access to the fastest cellular connections, and that's why we're bringing 5G to iPad mini. Download speeds can be up to 3.5 gigabits per second.
This is key when you need to stay connected on the go, like when technicians use Splunk AR on-site to access real time data, performance analytics, and complex schematics. Or if you're using SharePlay to take a MasterClass with your friends. 5G keeps you connected. Next, let's talk about the cameras and audio. Users rely on iPad mini for FaceTime, taking photos and videos, and experiencing AR, so we've updated both the front and back cameras.
The back camera now features a 12 megapixel sensor with Focus Pixels and a larger aperture to capture sharp, vivid photos. And we added a True Tone flash to mini for improved photos in low light. With a new ISP, users will see enhanced photos with Smart HDR, which improves image quality by recovering details in shadows and highlights. And now with the ability to record in 4K, iPad mini becomes your mobile movie studio. On the front, iPad mini features the new 12 MP Ultra Wide camera, which means it also supports Center Stage. As Melody mentioned, this has been a huge hit on iPad Pro, and now it's coming to iPad mini.
And iPad mini also features a new speaker system with stereo in landscape, great for listening to your favorite playlist or doing an Apple Fitness+ workout in your hotel room. And iPad mini's versatility is further enhanced by its amazing accessories. There's a new set of slim Smart Folio covers in beautiful coordinating colors that complement the new iPad mini finishes, perfect for expressing your personal style. And now, iPad mini supports the amazing second-generation Apple Pencil, which magnetically attaches to the side of iPad mini so it's always connected, charged, and with you.
Apple Pencil transforms iPad mini into your digital sketch book, We're so excited about the new iPad mini. Let's see it in action. [percussive music] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [alarm beeping] [both scream] [shutter clicks] [upbeat rock music] ♪ ♪ Katie: With its all-new design and huge boost in performance, the new iPad mini starts at just $499, and it'll be available in both Wi-Fi and cellular configurations.
You can order it today, and it will be available next week. So this is the all-new iPad mini featuring a brilliant liquid retina display, super fast performance, new cameras front and back, Center Stage, 5G, support for Apple Pencil, and all-new colors. With all of these new features, this is by far the most powerful and versatile iPad mini ever. [light music] And with both the new iPad and iPad mini, we continue our commitment to the environment. Both of these iPad models are built with a 100% recycled aluminum enclosure.
And this marks a milestone for iPad. Every single iPad in the lineup now features a 100% recycled aluminum enclosure. This is just one of the many ongoing efforts we have underway to reduce the environmental impact of our products. Now back to Tim.
Tim: With the even more capable new iPad and the phenomenal new iPad mini, our iPad lineup is the best it's ever been. Next, let's talk about Apple Watch. Apple Watch is an indispensable daily companion that keeps you connected to the people and things you care about most.
It encourages you to be active and get more out of your workouts. And it monitors your health, helping you live a better day. I am so inspired by the impact we've had on people's lives, and we continue to push the boundaries of what Apple Watch can do.
To tell you about what's next, here's Jeff. [upbeat music] Jeff: Being more active is one of the best ways to stay healthy. And it's been at the heart of Apple Watch since the beginning. Well, today we're adding new features to Apple Watch for everyone who rides a bike.
watchOS 8 will detect when you begin riding and remind you to start a workout. And it will automatically pause and resume if you stop temporarily. And watchOS 8 adds Fall Detection to cycling by sensing the unique motion and impact of falls while riding a bike. And Apple Watch now better supports e-bikes with an improved workout algorithm that more accurately calculates calories. These cycling updates join all the other great additions in watchOS 8, like the Mindfulness app and Memories in Photos.
And this year we focused on making these features and everything you do on Watch bigger and better. Introducing... the next generation of Apple Watch.
[dramatic music] ♪ ♪ This is the incredible Apple Watch Series 7. It takes all the great features of Apple Watch and combines them with our largest and most advanced display ever. The new Retina display on Series 7 has nearly 20% more screen area than Series 6. And it's an even bigger jump over Series 3 with over 50% more screen area. The Series 7 display has been completely reengineered to reduce the borders to just 1.7 millimeters.
That's 40% thinner than on Series 6. It's an incredible innovation that maximizes the screen area while barely changing the dimensions of the watch itself. And the shape of the watch has also been refined. Both the case and the display of Series 7 have softer, more rounded corners. The new display refracts light at its edges for a subtle wrap around effect, creating a seamless integration with the curvature of the case. And it's also up to 70% brighter indoors when your wrist is down, making it even easier to discreetly check the time.
This new display is an industry first and we fully optimized the user interface for it. Here's Lauren to tell you more. Lauren: Across the user interface on Series 7, buttons have been redesigned and enlarged to complement the size and shape of the new display, like in Stopwatch, Activity, and Alarms, making them even easier to tap. It can also fit nearly 50% more text onscreen than Series 6. This helps you read Messages and emails with a lot less scrolling.
Series 7 also features new ways to input text. There's a full keyboard that you can either tap or slide from letter to letter with QuickPath, which uses machine learning to predict the word you're typing. There are also new watch faces designed specifically for Series 7.
The dynamic Contour face animates on wrist-raise, pushing the dial right out to the edge. And a new Modular face leverages the extra screen area with two large, data-rich center complications. All of these improvements give Series 7 the best user experience of any Apple Watch. We also improved durability, which is another essential aspect of Apple Watch. Series 7 is the most durable Apple Watch we've ever built. It has our most crack-resistant front crystal, thanks to a stronger and more robust geometry.
It's also the first Apple Watch to have IP6X certification, so you don't have to worry about wearing it in dusty environments. And of course, it's still swim-proof with WR50 water resistance. With our best-ever durability, you can take Series 7 anywhere you want to go. And use it all-day long with the same, great 18-hour battery life. Series 7 also has an improved charging experience. It charges up to 33% faster than Series 6.
With an updated charging architecture and new fast-charging USB-C cable, it takes just 45 minutes to go from 0 to 80% charge. And 8 minutes of charging is enough for 8 hours of Sleep Tracking. We think customers will love the optimized user interface, best-ever durability, and faster charging of Series 7. Now back to Jeff.
Jeff: Series 7 will be available in five new aluminum colors, Midnight, Starlight, Green, Blue, and PRODUCT(RED). It will also be available in silver, graphite, and gold stainless steel, as well as in natural and space black titanium. Apple Watch Nike models feature a new graphic Sport Loop and Nike Bounce watch face. And there's a new Apple Watch Hermes Circuit H leather band with matching face, plus, an elegant new Double Tour band. Now, of course, bands are a great way to customize your Apple Watch for any activity or occasion, so we've added new colors across our most popular styles. And Series 7 is compatible with all existing bands.
We've designed Series 7 with the environment in mind. All aluminum watch cases are made with 100% recycled metal and all magnets in Series 7 use 100% recycled rare earth elements. So here's our 2021 Apple Watch lineup. Series 3 remains at the great entry price of $199.
Apple Watch SE starts at $279. And Apple Watch Series 7 starts at $399. Series 7 will be available later this year, and we can't wait for you to try it. Here's another look at some of the amazing capabilities of Apple Watch Series 7. To live is to ask the big questions.
Like, "Why are we here?" "What is our purpose? And "Whoa! How fast was that serve?" 98 miles per hour. Nice. But I was thinking ideas about– wow. Excuse me? Yeah, how far was that drive? 250 yards. Okay, getting back to my point, I mean, haven't you ever wondered-- How far have I gone? 5 miles. Average speed: 12.4 miles per hour.
That is how far you've gone. But I was actually thinking-- wait, are you taking an ECG here? And you're taking one here? Are you taking an ECG next to a piñata? Heads up! Oh, we're surfing. Wow, that's just– that's just impressive. Wait, how many waves you get? 15 waves. Oh, good morning. How did you sleep? Why are you checking your blood oxygen level? Oh, that's why.
Okay, let's get back to the big questions, like, are the mysteries of the universe out of reach? Or can we discover the answers through the power of meditation? Oh, come on, now! You know you're levitating, right? Sorry. Don't mind me. Anyway, there are questions, and it seems like your watch has all the answers, which is cheating. Jeff: So that's Apple Watch Series 7. It has the largest and most advanced display ever, an optimized UI with new keyboard and watch faces, best-ever durability, fast charging, new colors, and all the great features of watchOS 8. Series 7 is simply our best Apple Watch yet, and there's no better way to stay connected, active, and healthy.

Jay: And that's Fitness+. Back to Tim. [upbeat music] Tim: With Apple Watch Series 7, the most advanced smart watch ever, and the incredible new content and features in Apple Fitness+, we can't wait to see the impact they're sure to have on our users' lives. Now let's talk about iPhone.
iPhone has forever changed the world. Every single day people rely on iPhone, from their most demanding tasks, to capturing the moments of their lives, streaming their favorite TV shows, playing their favorite games, staying up-to-date with the news of the world, and connecting with friends and loved ones. This is what drives us to create the best iPhone possible, to create an experience unlike any other with legendary ease of use, beautiful and durable designs, with water resistance and great battery life, with industry leading performance, and the world's most advanced camera systems, and with privacy built in.
People love iPhone. And we keep making iPhone better, more powerful, more capable, and even more fun to use. Today we are thrilled to introduce our next generation of iPhone.
Here it is. [bass music thumping] ♪ ♪ This is iPhone 13. To tell you more, here's Kaiann. [upbeat music] ♪ ♪ Kaiann: Let's take a closer look at iPhone 13 starting with design.
It has the sleek, flat-edged design that people love. It's also incredibly durable with our exclusive Ceramic Shield front, tougher than any smartphone glass, and has industry leading IP68 water resistance. iPhone 13 has a new look for the advanced dual-camera system with the lenses arranged diagonally. The aerospace-grade aluminum frame is beautifully formed and really shows off five new colors: an all-new Pink, Blue, Midnight, Starlight, and (PRODUCT)RED. On the front, the TrueDepth camera system has been reengineered to provide more display area.
Everything inside, including Face ID, the most secure facial authentication in a smartphone, fits into a space that's 20% smaller. iPhone 13 is designed with the environment in mind, using many recycled materials. For example, these antenna lines use upcycled plastic water bottles, an industry first. Under the hood, iPhone 13 has been completely re-architected to make room for new technologies and a bigger battery. This beautiful design is the same across two sizes, iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. Both feature a more advanced Super Retina XDR display.
It's 28% brighter, up to 800 nits, brilliant for viewing even when you're outside. For HDR content like photos and videos, the peak brightness is higher at 1200 nits. And you can enjoy the pixel-precision brightness for longer thanks to the display's improved power efficiency. You'll see true blacks in games, photos, and videos with the incredible contrast ratio of our OLED display. This new brighter Super Retina XDR display delivers an immersive viewing experience with support for Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG.
Now let's talk about the chip that powers iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. Frankly, the competition is still playing catch-up to our chips, not just from last year, but even from two years ago. And today, we're extending our lead with A15 Bionic. Here's Hope to tell you all about it. [upbeat music] Hope: Our silicon is the engine of iPhone. With A15 Bionic, we have innovations across the entire system to deliver more performance and power efficiency, At its foundation, A15 uses five nanometer technology, which enables us to include nearly 15 billion transistors.
You'll absolutely fly through demanding workloads smoothly and efficiently thanks to a powerful new 6-core CPU with two high-performance and four high-efficiency cores. We've increased the performance of our CPU's dedicated machine learning accelerators that power experiences such as advanced text-to-speech in Siri and on-device processing of directions in Maps. It's the fastest CPU in any smartphone, up to 50% faster than the leading competition, For graphics-intensive tasks, like advanced games, A15 Bionic features our latest 4-core GPU, enabling more eye-catching visuals and lighting effects.
It delivers up to 30% faster graphics versus the leading competition. And we continue to push the limits of machine learning with the new 16-core Neural Engine that is perfect for ML tasks. It's capable of an astounding 15.8 trillion operations per second.
We design our Neural Engine together with our camera hardware and software teams. This unique vision and integration brings to life leading capabilities in video and image processing. This means faster ML computations for experiences like Live Text with iOS 15.
Point your camera at text on the go and instantly take action, like buying tickets or getting directions. The ML advancements across our entire chip will empower developers to do even more in their apps, like SwingVision, which can smoothly run powerful CoreML and AR models on A15 Bionic for real-time shot tracking, video analysis, and remote coaching. PeakVisor helps you navigate the outdoors to identify mountains and explore detail-rich 3D maps while hiking. And Seek uses a machine learning model trained by over 20 million photos to instantly identify plants and animals around you, and all the processing is done on-device. A15 is a powerhouse.
In addition to core performance improvements, there's a new display engine, new video encoder and decoder, and twice the system cache. There's nothing in the world like this chip. Back to Kaiann. Kaiann: A15 Bionic also powers the amazing camera system on iPhone 13. It combines our powerful cameras, next-generation image signal processor, and computational photography to create our most advanced dual-camera system. The all-new Wide camera lets you take stunning shots in any situation, like this photo full of color and texture.
It gathers 47% more light for less noise and brighter results in your photos and videos. This is enabled by larger, 1.7-micron pixels that capture more light and a wide f/1.6 aperture. It's the biggest sensor we've ever put in our dual-camera system.
iPhone 12 Pro Max introduced an amazing advanced technology, sensor-shift optical image stabilization. And incredibly, we are bringing this to iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. Here's a low-light photo from the new Wide camera with sensor-shift OIS. The larger sensor captures nearly 50% more light. Hard to believe this photo was taken in a dark room with just a little light coming through a window. Night mode shots are even more impressive.
Capture times are shorter, too, for sharper images of your subjects and fine details. We've also custom-designed a new Ultra Wide camera that will reveal more of the dark areas with less noise, like you see here in the walls and ceilings. Capturing fun, creative perspectives is easy with the Ultra Wide and now it's even better on iPhone 13. Now let's switch to video. iPhone already has the highest quality video in a smartphone. And iPhone 13 brings a brand-new feature, Cinematic mode.
Now over to Johnnie to tell you more. Johnnie: Filmmakers have used focus changes to tell engaging stories for decades. It's a technique called rack focus that requires skill, planning, and creative vision. You've seen rack focus used in all your favorite films. It brings a whole new dimension to storytelling. Well, we're bringing this capability to iPhone in a simple and intuitive way, so you can capture cinema-style moments, even if you aren't a professional filmmaker.
And guess what, the movie clip you just saw was shot on iPhone. And we'd love to show you more. [mysterious music] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [door slams] [siren wailing] It's remarkable and so easy to use. Just start recording, and Cinematic mode will hold focus on the subject even when they're moving. Focus transitions happen automatically in real time, like from one subject to another.
Cinematic mode anticipates when a subject is about to enter the frame, and intelligently racks focus to them when they do, And when a subject gazes away from the camera, iPhone itself changes focus and then back. To create these automatic focus changes, we extensively studied the art of cinematography and the creative choices directors of photography make to guide the viewers' attention. We combined these learnings with computational algorithms so you can effortlessly create cinema-grade videos. For more creative control, you can tap to shift focus at any time. Tap again to lock and track focus on the subject.
Cinematic mode shoots in Dolby Vision HDR. This is enabled by our Apple-custom sensor and the incredible power of A15 Bionic, which grades each frame in Dolby Vision live while you are recording. And that's Cinematic mode. Now back to Kaiann. Kaiann: iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini have advanced new camera systems with sensor-shift OIS, fantastic low-light performance, and Cinematic mode also on the front TrueDepth camera.
Next, let's turn to 5G. Millions and millions of iPhone users are already experiencing 5G every day for super fast downloads and uploads, lower latency, and new experiences on the go. And on iPhone 13, we've innovated further on custom-designed antennas and radio components that let us add more bands so iPhone 13 works on 5G with the latest speeds and in more places. The world is moving quickly to 5G.
We're collaborating with more carrier partners for the best call quality, performance, coverage, and battery life. By the end of the year, we will double 5G support to over 200 carriers in 60 countries and regions. That means you can benefit from 5G in more places than ever to binge watch your favorite shows together using SharePlay on Apple TV+ and even more streaming partners for video and music. You can be ultra competitive in multiplayer games, share surprise greetings from a celebrity in high res over Cameo, or take the sound at any live event to a whole new level with Mix Halo.
5G is taking over, and iPhone 13 is ready with the best 5G experience. Now let's talk about battery life, which is really important to our users. iPhone 13 has a faster chip, faster 5G speeds, a brighter OLED display, and the most advanced dual-camera system ever in an iPhone. And with all these new capabilities, the iPhone 13 lineup has better battery life. On iPhone 13 mini, most users will experience an hour and a half hour longer in their day than with iPhone 12 mini. And on iPhone 13, two and a half hours longer than iPhone 12 for incredible all-day battery life.
This amazing battery life is delivered by A15 Bionic, more power-efficient components, a bigger battery, and power optimizations from our deep hardware and software integration, like Smart Data Mode, which intelligently conserves battery life by automatically shifting your iPhone to LTE when 5G speeds aren't needed. We also look at every opportunity to improve privacy. With iPhone and iOS, privacy is built in from the beginning. With iOS 15, Siri uses on-device speech recognition, meaning your Siri audio requests do not leave your iPhone by default. Intelligent tracking prevention now prevents trackers from profiling you using your IP address. And mail privacy protection hides your IP address and prevents senders from learning about your mail activity.
Another huge benefit of owning an iPhone is the vast ecosystem that extends what iPhone can do. That includes MagSafe, which we introduced last fall and has been a hit. From multi-chargers and swiveling charger stands to cases, wallets, tripods, and car mounts, along with our own accessories for charging, like the MagSafe Battery Pack. For iPhone 13, we have leather, silicone, and clear cases in stunning new colors and engineered to work perfectly with MagSafe. We also have a new MagSafe Leather Wallet that supports Find My.
You can now be notified of the last known location where your wallet was separated from your iPhone. iPhone 13 is loaded with new technologies, including Cinematic mode, A15 Bionic that's faster than the competition, our most advanced dual-camera system with sensor-shift OIS, longer battery life, 5G, and so much more. With all this, iPhone 13 still starts at just $699. We also have some fantastic offers from Apple and our partners, including up to $700 off in the U.S.
when you trade in a qualifying iPhone. And we're increasing the starting capacity to 128 gigabytes for double the storage and adding a new 512-gigabyte option. iPhone 13 is impressively powerful. Let's see it in action. [upbeat music] [thunderclap] ♪ ♪ [doorbell rings] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [dog barking] ♪ ♪ Now back to Tim. [upbeat music] ♪ ♪ Tim: We are so excited for iPhone 13.
With all of its power and capability, we can't wait to see what our customers will do with it, and we're not done yet. Our Pro lineup pushes the limits with our most advanced technologies for our users who want the very best iPhone, best-in-class performance, best-in-class camera experience, great durability, larger displays, and incredible design. This year, we build on that in a major way. Let's take a look at our most Pro iPhone ever.
[dramatic pop music] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ This is iPhone 13 Pro. To tell you more, here's Joz. [upbeat music] Joz: iPhone 13 Pro features our most pro design with exceptional materials, like these surgical-grade stainless steel bands.
Each band goes through a physical vapor deposition process to create an Apple-custom finish that is so elegant, yet incredibly resistant to abrasion and corrosion. iPhone 13 Pro comes in four striking finishes, a rich, deep graphite, gorgeous gold, beautiful silver, and this all-new sierra blue. This sierra blue required an entirely new process, using multiple layers of nanometer-scale metallic ceramics applied across the surface for a stunning and very durable finish. iPhone 13 Pro has a newly designed front with a TrueDepth camera system that's 20% smaller. On the back, you see our incredible new camera system with beautiful stainless steel trim that perfectly surrounds the sapphire crystal lenses of each of our three new cameras, and a beautiful textured matte glass that feels great and shows off the stunning color.
On the front, it has our incredible Ceramic Shield that is tougher than any smartphone glass. It also has industry-leading IP68 water resistance. On the inside, it's been completely redesigned to support our latest pro technologies, including the all-new camera system, incredible new display, and a bigger battery.
iPhone 13 Pro also supports MagSafe and the ever-expanding ecosystem of really cool, new accessories. And it's joined by the larger iPhone 13 Pro Max. Now let's talk about performance and the powerful new A15 Bionic. As you heard from Hope, A15 Bionic features a CPU with two new high-performance cores and four new high-efficiency cores, and a faster Neural Engine, as well as our new ISP, which provides improved noise reduction and tone mapping.
And for these Pro models, A15 Bionic includes our most powerful graphics ever with a new 5-core GPU. It provides up to 50% faster graphics performance than the leading competition. In fact, iPhone 13 Pro has the fastest graphics performance in any smartphone ever, great for high-performance gaming and our most powerful camera features, like Apple ProRAW and 4K Dolby Vision video. And the A15 Bionic chip's new 5-core GPU and custom display engine combine with an amazing new display that takes the iPhone experience even further.
This year, we're proud to introduce an entirely new Super Retina XDR display. With a new, more efficient OLED panel, the display now supports up to 1000 nits peak outdoor brightness. That's 25% higher than last year. And for the first time, we're bringing ProMotion to iPhone. With our latest technology, this ProMotion display can refresh from as low as 10 hertz to as high as 120 hertz. ProMotion is designed to respond dynamically and match your content.
The advanced, custom architecture produces fast frame rates when you need them, and preserves battery life when you don't. We also optimized iOS to take full advantage of this. For example, when swiping between apps or scrolling, the system adapts the frame rates to precisely match the speed of the user's finger. The result is an incredibly responsive experience that is fast and fluid. Of course, ProMotion is also great for apps, providing more responsive inputs, smoother graphics, and more precise gameplay.
We brought in a few developers to see what they could do with it, and the results were amazing. Joe: Alright, let’s go. [laughs] I work on a title called Marvel: Future Revolution. Kyle: I am the Senior Design Evangelist for Adobe.
I work on Adobe Fresco. Tommy: And I am the Founder and CTO of Super Evil Megacorp. Catalyst Black is really a rich and detailed world and ProMotion’s adaptive frame rate is really unique. Because of the 120 frames per second, you can get perfect response time. It’s about the refresh rate, it’s about the controls. It’s almost like your fingers are glued to the screen Kyle: A device like this changes the game for artists everywhere.
With ProMotion, it means that I’m actually seeing the pixels move in real time. There is absolutely no lag. Joe: Super Retina XDR display allows the gamers to see further into the distance and catch more details and surroundings.
So we have all these great characters. They need to look better than real. Tommy: The iPhone 13 Pro has one of the most powerful mobile GPUs ever created, and with that, we can really bring all these graphics features to the mobile device. Joe: I like that part. Tommy: The incredible combination of A15 Bionic, ProMotion, and 5G makes the iPhone 13 Pro the most powerful smartphone in the world, or any world, for that matter. Joz: The new Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion comes in two great sizes, 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch.
And the custom-designed OLED panels work across different lighting conditions and content types, maintaining incredible color accuracy and contrast. Now let's talk about the all-new iPhone 13 Pro camera system. This is our biggest camera advancement ever.
To tell you more about it, here's Louis. [upbeat music] Louis: iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max introduce an all-new camera system, starting with a new 77-millimeter telephoto camera with 3X optical zoom, a new Ultra Wide camera with auto-focus and a larger f/1.8 aperture with a 92% improvement in low light, and a new Wide camera that has a larger f/1.5 aperture and 1.9 micron pixels for our largest sensor ever,
with up to 2.2 times improvement in low light. So you'll get beautiful photos in any situation. The larger sensor of the Wide offers more light gathering for less noise and faster shutter speeds and even longer brackets when shooting night mode photos with a tripod. The new 77-millimeter telephoto enables beautiful, classic portraiture photos and 3X optical zoom for photos and videos for a total 6X optical zoom range on iPhone 13 Pro. With the new Ultra Wide, low light photos are brighter and sharper with more details, like you see in her dress or on the couch.
The Ultra Wide camera also enables something entirely new on iPhone, Macro Photography. Macro Photography typically uses a special lens that can focus at close distances. The new Ultra Wide lens design and auto-focus system enable incredibly sharp focus and can magnify subjects with a minimum distance of 2 centimeters.
So you can get detailed close ups, like of this beautiful red daisy, the cells in this leaf, or the water droplets on this mushroom. And for the first time, all of the cameras, including the telephoto, have night mode, which is made possible by advanced computational photography. With tight integration between hardware and software, our cameras can do even more. To tell you all about it, here's Rebecca.
Rebecca: When tuning the iPhone camera system, we shoot and review thousands of photos. Analyzing all of those photos allows us to deliver features, like Smart HDR 4, which automatically brings improved color, contrast, and lighting for each subject in a group photo, including for challenging shots like this. Our software in ISP adjusts for different lighting, and we've made improvements for skin tones, so everyone looks even better.
We're also introducing a way to personalize your iPhone camera with Photographic Styles. This is a feature that pro photographers are going to love. Photographic Styles bring your individual preferences right into our advanced image pipeline, applying local edits like a photo editor would, but in real time as we render the photo. That means you get all the benefits of our multi-frame image processing pipeline with the ability to customize it in a way you could never achieve with a simple filter. Select from one of our four default styles before you shoot.
For example, Rich Contrast for a bolder look or Vibrant for a punchier look. Each uses our deep semantic understanding to intelligently apply the right amount of adjustments to different parts of the photo while preserving skin tones. You can also customize the styles further with tone and warmth, which combine multiple attributes for a look that's all your own. Styles works across scenes and subject types. You don't need to set it every time, so you can define your style and use it across your photos.
And that's Photographic Styles coming to iPhone 13 Pro, and we're excited to bring it to iPhone 13 as well. Now back to Joz. Joz: The all-new Pro camera system combined with the power of computational photography will allow users to capture beautiful images better than ever before. The new iPhone 13 Pro camera system also provides our most advanced video features.
The all-new camera system, along with Dolby Vision HDR recording, produces incredible Pro-level video. So we asked two-time Academy Award winning director Kathryn Bigelow and Oscar-nominated cinematographer Greig Fraser to show us what they can do with the power of iPhone 13 Pro. [upbeat music] Kathryn: It’s a completely integrated process now. The iPhone doesn’t require any ancillary pieces of equipment.
Like, it becomes still, and she turns slowly. It’s the dawning realization. I thought it was a good challenge. You know, these are all genres I love. And it’s so great to kind of parachute in, do a deep dive with the iPhone.
And with so much accessibility, I think all pretension tends to disappear. And so it makes the set and the filming process much less apprehensive. Greig: There was no limitations to what I could do with this particular camera. Whereas normally, everybody gets so precious about a camera lens.
It’s so expensive or it’s so--it’s so fragile. One of the things that the iPhone couldn’t do up until now was to create an idea of depth from a lens. With Cinematic mode, what’s exciting is, we can actually choose focus later. To me, that’s really bringing it up to the professional film cameras. We can actually go ahead and make these stories and make these films using the tools on this iPhone. I believe that with the advent and with the addition of Cinematic mode, we’re going to very, very soon see filmmakers make films in a different way, which is exciting.
Kathryn: It might even birth a brand-new genre. Greig: I have no doubt it will. Just given the size and given the ability to move this camera.
Kathryn: Exactly. Greig: It will change the language of cinema in a very positive way. [dramatic music] ♪ ♪ Joz: Everything you just saw, including the behind the scenes footage, was shot on iPhone 13 Pro. With major updates across the Wide, Ultra Wide, and Telephoto cameras, it's an incredible device for filmmaking.
The new Ultra Wide camera enables amazing macro slo-mo videos thanks to the new lens design. And the new 3X telephoto allows you to zoom even closer to the action and offers a great new focal length for video. This is really awesome when using our all-new Cinematic mode, which uses machine learning and disparity to create a depth map that's built into the video.
So you can change the depth effect, including the level of bokeh and where the focus is applied, even after the capture. This is another iPhone first, as iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro are the only smartphones that can do this. We also have another Pro video feature coming later this year, and that's ProRes video.
ProRes video offers exceptionally high color fidelity and more efficient encoding for use in pro video editing apps like Final Cut Pro. That's why it's widely used by video editors as the final delivery format for commercials, feature films, and broadcast. A15 Bionic adds hardware acceleration for ProRes. And in combination with our advanced video encoders and decoders, as well as our faster file system and flash storage pipeline, you can now record up to 4K at 30 frames per second in ProRes right in the Camera app.
iPhone 13 Pro is the only smartphone to provide an end-to-end pro workflow, allowing you to record and edit in ProRes or Dolby Vision. This will transform filmmaking with a device that can simply slip into your pocket. Next, let's talk about battery life. This is our most Pro iPhone ever with our fastest performance, most advanced display, and most powerful camera system ever in an iPhone. Thanks to the efficiency of the A15 Bionic and iOS 15, as well a larger battery, iPhone 13 Pro delivers incredible all-day battery life.
iPhone 13 Pro lasts more than one and a half hours longer in your day than iPhone 12 Pro. And the iPhone 13 Pro Max will last more than two and a half hours longer than the iPhone 12 Pro Max. That means iPhone 13 Pro Max has the longest battery life ever in an iPhone. The entire iPhone 13 lineup has been carefully designed to minimize its impact on the environment. We redesigned the packaging to eliminate the outer plastic wrap, saving 600 metric tons of plastic.
This brings us closer to our goal of completely removing plastic from all of our packaging. iPhone uses 100% recycled rare Earth elements in magnets and 100% recycled tin in the solder of the main logic board. So that's iPhone 13 Pro with our most advanced technologies: an all-new camera system with three new cameras, ProRes video, Cinematic mode, the new Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion, A15 Bionic with 5-core GPU, 5G, MagSafe, and incredible durability features. These iPhones push the boundaries for what's possible in a smartphone.
Even with all this incredible technology, iPhone 13 Pro still starts at $999. And iPhone 13 Pro Max still starts at $1,099. We also have amazing offers from Apple and our partners, including up to $1,000 off in the U.S. when you trade in a qualifying iPhone.
And this year, we're introducing a new 1-terabyte storage option. This is a great addition for our Pro iPhone users. The 1-terabyte joins our 128-, 256-, and 512-gigabyte storage options. You can pre-order all four new models of iPhone 13 family this Friday, September 17th, and they will be available on September 24th. So here's our new iPhone lineup, including iPhone 12, iPhone 11, and iPhone SE, starting at just $399.
Now back to Tim. [upbeat music] Tim: Thank you, Joz, and thank you to all of today's presenters. What a spectacular set of announcements. Our most popular iPad is now powered by the A13 Bionic with a new 12-megapixel Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage.
