“Hey Siri, give us a hint”
Siri’s hints about this Keynote were preparing us for something big; and so it was.
Yesterday, the presentation of Apple’s new products concluded at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco: the result? Huge news!
Here is a brief summary of the features of Apple’s new products:
Apple Watch.
New apps will be added to the thousands already available for the Watch, and design will be a novelty element; the collaboration with Hermes for the creation of customized classy watches was announced, as well as two new finishes for the aluminum version, Gold and Rose Gold, and a version with a red strap in partnership with (RED).
iPad.
The new iPad Pro has significant dimensions, a 10-hour battery life, sound delivered by 4 speakers, a thickness of 6.9 mm, and a weight similar to the first iPad.
The greatly improved performance will allow the new iPad Pro to unlock new applications, an example? Autocad 360 was shown on stage. To accessorize it, the Smart Keyboard, an attachable keyboard, and Apple Pencil, a stylus, were created.
In particular, Apple Pencil recognizes the pressure applied, the tilt, and the rotation, thus creating different strokes on the screen. The apps already present in the Store will be updated to support the use of the stylus.
Apple Tv.
“Powerful hardware, a modern operating system, a new user experience, tools suitable for developers, an app store that supports them. This is what it takes. It took us a long time to put all this together. Today I am excited to present to you the new Apple TV.”
This is how Tim Cook presented what he believes is the TV of the future, a TV made of apps; the Apple TV.
The features? Thanks to the touch remote with a built-in microphone, it will be possible to ask Siri to search for movies by title, authors, or directors, among iTunes, apps, and user content, to pause or rewind to watch a scene again. It will also be possible to ask for game results or weather forecasts, seeing them appear on a panel during the movie.
iPhone 6s e 6s Plus.
New glass, new casing, new processor, but the big news is the new 3D touch functions, applied to the entire operating system, which will provide different functions depending on the context, with vibrations that notify the user of the interaction, timely and precise.
The arrival in Italy is expected by the end of the year, just in time for Christmas gifts, while iOS 9 will be available in its final version from September 16.
