Apple's Macbook Air, Mac Mini, and iPad Pro highlights in about 10 minutes

2018-10-30
and I'm incredibly excited today to introduce an all-new MacBook Air with a Retina display and a whole lot more the number one feature customers have wanted in a MacBook Air has been a Retina display but we've made the display better in every way the familiar aluminum bezel sorry about that the familiar aluminum bezel of the current MacBook Air is gone the new air sleek design takes the display glass right to the edge of the enclosure forming borders that are 50% narrower it features a 13.3 inch display which is the perfect size for such a portable notebook and when it comes to resolution we've taken the pixels and quadrupled them providing four times the resolution for over four million pixels so both text and images are sharper and more detailed and with 48% more color those images are more lifelike than ever all of this comes together to give the new MacBook Air a Retina display we know our customers are going to love and even with this narrow or border design we were still able to keep the FaceTime camera at the top of the display which is exactly where you want it when making a FaceTime call and now with the group FaceTime feature in Mac OS Mohave you can invite all your friends to the conversation now next the MacBook Air has another new feature that customers have been asking for and that's touch ID so now with just the touch of the finger you can unlock your MacBook Air buy something cool on Apple pay or use touch ID with a third-party app like one password with a durable sapphire crystal surface we've put the touch ID sensor right into the keyboard I can't wait to tell you about the biggest update ever to the new Mac Mini now I'm sure you've noticed that we've given it an awesome space great finish for one we know our pro customers are going to love that but to this new Mac Mini is an absolute beast on the inside here's why the number one thing our customers wanted us to do is give it more powerful processors so now every Mac Mini starts with 4 cores but we didn't think that was far enough so we're also giving Mac Mini 6 cores processors as well and these are mobile parts no these are higher power eighth-generation CPUs with faster graphics - next up is memory now the previous mackaninee went up to 16 gigabytes of memory so naturally the new Mac Mini goes to 32 gigs of memory but we didn't want to stop there either so the new Mac Queenie can now go up to 64 gigs of memory next up is storage now many Mac Mini customers depend on the speed and reliability of SSDs so now every Mac Mini has all flash storage with SSDs that are up to 4 times faster and capacities up to 2 terabytes and that's double the capacity of the previous Mac Mini and every new Mac Mini also has the Apple T 2 security chip with as many new features including HEV see video end code that get this 30 times faster so the cool wall is powerful new technology the new Mac Mini has an entirely new thermal system with double the airflow while still being super quiet and finally connectivity Mac Mini customers love having lots and lots of ports and the new Mac Mini delivers with Gigabit Ethernet for count them for Thunderbolt 3 ports an HDMI port two USB a ports it can connect to almost anything and not only that you can configure the Mac Mini with 10 Gigabit Ethernet as well the entry config has 8 gigs of memory a 3.6 gigahertz quad-core processor and 128 gigabyte SSD and it starts at just seven ninety-nine you can configure it up to 64 gigs of memory a higher frequency core i7 processor up to 2 terabyte SSD and with 10 gigabit ethernet there's new iPad pro we have an LCD that stretches from edge to edge and top to bottom now we achieve this design by rounding the corners of the display using the same pixel masking and anti-aliasing technology that we introduced in the iPhone 10 are just like in the 10r we call it a liquid Retina display now the narrow border design gave us an opportunity to take a fresh look at our iPad pro sizes the original 10.5 inch iPad pro is an amazing device it offers plenty of area to get your work done and an enclosure that's large enough to support a full size keyboard but it's still just one pound and super portable it really has been the ideal option for most of our iPad pro customers so we decided to maintain that perfect footprint but give you an even bigger display this is the same take anywhere size you loved in the 10.5 inch design but now with an 11 inch display and it has a quarter million more pixels but of course for customers who want to even larger canvas we also offered the twelve point nine inch display all that real estate makes multitasking and working with Apple pencil an incredible experience well this new iPad pro we're able to offer that same large screen experience in a much more portable package and this is the new 12 point 9 inch iPad pro and it's not just smaller it's also thinner these new iPad pros are just five point nine millimeters thin you really have to hold one to understand it and we think when people do many more folks will move up to the larger size it really is the ultimate iPad and that's especially true because it now has face ID now face ID is enabled by the true depth camera which is tucked away into this thin bezel it uses depth technology to deliver greater security and accuracy than any 2d face scanner now with support for face ID it might have noticed there's no longer a home button well now home button means that all those familiar gestures from the iPhone 10 now come to the iPad so for instance you can swipe down from the upper right hand corner to get to control center you access the dock by swiping up from the bottom if you continue swiping up and pause you get to the app switcher and you can even swipe along the bottom edge to quickly switch between your most recently used apps you can work with two apps at once using split view you just drag an app up from the dock to the side and then you can easily drag and drop between them and all that is possible because of what we put under the hood because these new iPad pro are powered by the all-new a 12 X Bionic the a 12 X features an 8 core CPU with for performance cores and for high-efficiency cores and with our latest generation performance controller multi-threaded workloads can now leverage all eight of those cores simultaneously these iPad pros are faster than 92% of all the portable pcs sold in the last 12 months including the most popular core i7 models from the top manufacturers these new ipad pro's aren't just faster than your last computer they're also smarter and more capable there's simply nothing like this in other traditional PC chipsets and this year we have a new fast storage controller on the a 12x which enables up to one terabyte in storage capacity one of the most important game-changing accessories for the iPad pro has been the Apple pencil and with these new iPad pros the second-generation pencil has been completely redesigned the new Apple pencil attaches magnetically to the iPad pro it automatically pairs and starts charging wirelessly and if because it's always charging it's always ready to go the moment you need it tapping the screen with the Apple pencil will wait the iPad pro and lunch instantly into the Notes app and this year there's a whole new way of interacting with the Apple pencil just tap twice on it to switch modes in notes you can switch between your current tool and the eraser and in other apps this behavior will be customizable which puts even more control into our users hands also this year we have a new smart keyboard folio it continues to deliver a great typing experience in a thin and light design with no pairing charging or batteries required and it's even simpler to use it magnetically attaches to the iPad pro and it protects both the front and the back it has a screen angle that is great in your lap and another that's great at your desk not only his iPad is I've been amazing for all the things you do today but also the perfect tool for creating totally new experiences like augmented reality with its large display and a thin and light design iPad is the best device ever created for AR and we've optimized these iPad pros to make AR even better we've calibrated the cameras and sensors at all of these components in a 12 X to deliver realistic graphics real-time lighting and object tracking an incredible texturing and reflections and with AR kit 2 we give out some hints surface detection and persistent experiences and all of this comes together to completely transform how you can interact with the world around you these new ipad pro's are packed with our most advanced technology there's the new all screen design with liquid Retina display advanced face ID the a 12 X Bionic chip delivering incredible pro level performance for speaker audio and this time with woofer and tweeter pairs in each corner they sound amazing and they offer wide stereo output gigabit class LTE and ECM technology and our cellular models for great connectivity wherever you go and so many more features that make this our very best iPad
