the event took over an hour but we're gonna do the highlights in about five minutes they recap the iOS 7 and iPhone 5c and 5s launches biggest iPhone launch ever with 9 million sold as of last month and 200 million devices running iOS 7 in the first 5 days but if by run they mean what my iPhone 4 does with iOS 7 the mr. Cook and I can agree to disagree about that particular number first up for new stuff is OS 10 mavericks no more cat names we're switching to locations in California Mavericks improves power efficiency promising longer browsing time and movie playback and adds memory compression for inactive RAM having 6 gigs of data in 4 gigs of RAM sounds awesome and is much better than swapping that data from the SSD Mavericks also dynamically resizes the system RAM allocated as a GPU frame buffer so if the GP who needs more RAM it can grab it on demand now why would you want more RAM for your integrated graphics well as supports OpenCL now which means you can use the GPU to yield better performance with supported workloads the new software features include better multi display support maps and iBooks apps notifications that can be dealt with without losing focus on the current application document and file tagging the iCloud keychain for password management and a lot more it's a single step upgrade and it's free for pretty much anyone who bought an Apple computer in the last half dozen years damn the retina macbook pro about time right is here with Haswell 4th generation Intel Core Series processors and 13 inch and 15 inch varieties the 13 inches under three and a half pounds and point 7 1 inches thick it features Thunderbolt 2 a PCI Express based SSD Intel iris graphics up to nine hours of battery life and AC Wireless it's also $200 cheaper than the old model for a base config with a 2.4 gigahertz i5 dual core 4 gigs of RAM and a 128 gig SSD the 15-inch model is quad core Core i7 only and gets AC Wireless PCIe SSD tech Thunderbolt 2 up to 8 hours of battery life and is just generally beefier in every possible way but on top of a discreet NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M option it has Intel iris Pro onboard graphics with crystal well which is a 128 meg cash that acts as an overflow for the CPUs level three cache and can assist with either CPU or GPU intensive tasks it also gets a $200 price reduction for the base model which has eight gigs of RAM and a 256 gig SSD we've got almost every detail except a release date other than this year sometime for the upcoming Mac Pro it runs eons in quad six eight or twelve core configs and can have up to 30 Meg's of level three cache it has 40 PCIe gen3 lanes and uses ddr3 1866 ECC memory and B can be configured with up to 64 gigs of that and a quad channel config it runs dual AMD FirePro GPUs in a variety of configurations up to some pretty overpowered looking stuff and uses a PCI Express based SSD that can handle up to one gigabyte per second write speeds Thunderbolt 2 hasn't seen much adoption but that doesn't stop the new Mac Pro from having 6 ports allowing 3 4k displays and overall as many as 36 devices including external PCIe enclosures storage devices and whatever else you can imagine to be connected power consumption at idle is improved but I guess that's bound to happen when you skip entire generations of processor technology in between your product refreshes and idle noise tends to scale pretty tightly with idle power but I need you to show me load numbers and then I'll care mark my words guys this machine will not be quiet under load AC wireless is standard and a very humdrum looking config looks like it'll run you around $3,000 iLife suite updates include iOS 7 makeovers and iCloud integration for iPhoto iMovie and GarageBand you can have more tracks and GarageBand there Pages Numbers and Keynote applications now support live editing and some other neato features not gonna spend much time on that though it's not that these updates aren't very important they are it's just that this is called tech quickie and creating a concert poster of yourself isn't tech in the same way that dual fire pro cards in a PC the size of a novelty trash bin that sits on your desk is with that said I work is now completely free which is awesome free OS and free productivity suite if I'm Microsoft and I'm not making money on hardware to fund the development of my software I am scared right now I pad larger version Apple can't seem to decide what to call this thing from generation to generation gets a new look and an name the ID has been updated to be more like the iPad Mini and it's called the iPad air now it's 43% thinner than the previous model on the bezel and 20% thinner in thickness it's 1 pound compared to 1.4 pounds and it has the new a7 chip same as the iPhone 5s a refresher for those who don't remember that means a 64-bit processor up to 8 times better CPU performance than the iPad 172 times better GPU performance on the iPad 1 and the m7 motion coprocessor MIMO wireless has been added which is a huge deal for heavy wireless users and it's not like iPads have Ethernet ports so yeah you kind of rely on wireless I guess they added some other incremental upgrades to dual mic stand out to me as a really nice feature for better voice communication for example it's available in silver / white and Space Gray / black and is expensive as balls considering that it's a 16 gig tablet but let's face it apparently 80% of you are using iOS compared to Android for your tablet experience so it must be worth it right it's available starting November 1st the iPad Mini has been given the retina treatment as expected with a 7.9 inch 2048 by 1536 display it gets a 10 hour battery life the same a 7 with m7 motion coprocessor combo as its big brother jet it m7 knows where you are and so does Big Brother so anyway I'm sorry it has an a7 processor and MIMO wireless which means it is dramatically faster in every possible way than the iPad Mini 1 it also comes in silver / white and Space Gray / black and is more expensive than the original iPad Mini which looks like it'll be a continuing model there are new colorful covers to protect your screen and new colorful cases if you want to protect your whole iPad and here's pricing of the whole family
