1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:04,540
- Summer is over, and you know what that means new iPhones.

2
00:00:04,540 --> 00:00:10,050
Today, Apple announced a smattering of new updates to all the Products you can hold with one hand.

3
00:00:10,050 --> 00:00:14,190
But what I'm most interested in is what they added to the iPhone 13 Pro,

4
00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:18,710
which to me, makes it earn its Pro moniker a little bit better.

5
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:21,740
Let's look at everything that was announced, and I can explain what I mean.

6
00:00:21,740 --> 00:00:25,750
Oh, darn it. (upbeat music)

7
00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:32,220
For the first time ever in Apple's history, the new iPhones flagship Processor comes in two variations.

8
00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:35,720
There's a new 6-core A15 chip with four GBU cores

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,500
that's in the iPhone 13 model, while the Pro gets five GPU cores.

10
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:44,720
Another interesting thing about the A15 was when they compared its improvements,

11
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,370
it was against their competitors, instead of last year's chip.

12
00:00:48,370 --> 00:00:51,820
- [Narrator] Up to 50% faster than the leading competition.

13
00:00:51,820 --> 00:00:56,510
- Hmm, nonetheless, there is more that all the new iPhones are getting.

14
00:00:56,510 --> 00:00:59,580
There's improved battery life, providing a claimed one and a half

15
00:00:59,580 --> 00:01:05,890
to two and a half hours of extra juice. There's brighter screens with up to 1200 nits on the Pro.

16
00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:08,940
Oh yeah, and the notch is 20% narrower.

17
00:01:08,940 --> 00:01:12,680
There are a couple of new colors here and there. And then, of course,

18
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,760
improvements to both the camera hardware and software.

19
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,718
Great stuff, but with a largely unchanged industrial design,

20
00:01:20,718 --> 00:01:25,240
this feels more like an S update. I guess those are over now, aren't there?

21
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,630
What do you think? Comment below. iPhones are the best smartphones for recording video.

22
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:35,580
And Andy, our camera operator here, is itching to shoot a video entirely on an iPhone.

23
00:01:35,580 --> 00:01:40,380
- [Andy] Yeah. (laughs) - So, I wonder what he'll think about the iPhone's new cinematic mode.

24
00:01:40,380 --> 00:01:43,870
Basically, what it does is provide a more robust rack focus

25
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:47,100
when recording video. So you can shift the viewer's attention

26
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:50,550
from one subject to another behind or in front.

27
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:54,460
Rack focusing is a fun thing to do with a real lens, but on the iPhone,

28
00:01:54,460 --> 00:01:57,580
it's done automatically, predicting what the subject is going to be doing

29
00:01:57,580 --> 00:02:01,480
based on the shot motion. You can also control it manually.

30
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,480
It sounds neat, but getting a smooth focus electronically on these small lenses is hard.

31
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,910
And even the cutesy short film Apple featured to demonstrate it shows that it's not gonna be the same

32
00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:15,170
as using one of these big lenses. Woohoo.

33
00:02:15,170 --> 00:02:19,020
For still photographers, Apple's photographic styles filter

34
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:22,230
lets you adjust the look of a photo before you take it.

35
00:02:22,230 --> 00:02:26,730
Well, I don't know much about it yet. I am curious whether seeing what the style

36
00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:32,260
of the finished photo is going to look like might influence how I take that photo in the first place.

37
00:02:32,260 --> 00:02:37,390
The iPhone 13 Pro, trying to live up to its name, has the more robust cameras of the two models

38
00:02:37,390 --> 00:02:42,710
with much bigger cameras this year. Just look at how much space that camera module takes up.

39
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:46,250
The ultra wide camera supports crazy-looking macro photography,

40
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:50,170
but what's most interesting to both me and perhaps our editor Hoffman

41
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:56,960
is the inclusion of ProRes video recording, a true must-have for the Pro line to have any legitimacy.

42
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,450
I mentioned ProRes in my iPad Pro review. But basically, it's a super high bit rate video codec

43
00:03:02,450 --> 00:03:08,790
that professionals use. And what that means for Hoffman is that he'll be better able to make the most of the video

44
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:12,880
that comes from cameras as small as these. Maybe Andy's wish will come true,

45
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,140
and we'll get to shoot our iPhone 13 Pro review on it. Get subscribed to find out.

46
00:03:18,548 --> 00:03:22,640
Oh, don't forget to mention promotion. Oh yes, all the Pros get it,

47
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,150
and it varies the refresh rate up to 120 Hertz.

48
00:03:27,150 --> 00:03:31,620
The 13 Pro will be able to shoot at up to 4K, 30 frames per second.

49
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:36,020
And since ProRes will take up so much space, they've added a 1TB model,

50
00:03:36,020 --> 00:03:41,070
which, if you go for a 13 Max, will set you back $1,600.

51
00:03:41,070 --> 00:03:44,700
But take note, base 128GB models

52
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:47,860
are restricted to 1080P ProRes recording.

53
00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:52,220
Otherwise, prices for all iPhone 13 models are unchanged from last year,

54
00:03:52,220 --> 00:03:56,430
though the mini and 13 models start with 128GB storage now.

55
00:03:56,430 --> 00:03:59,940
Finally, pre-orders start Friday.

56
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:04,230
In the meantime, let's quickly check out this video sponsor, CleanShot.

57
00:04:04,230 --> 00:04:09,420
Now yes, you can screenshot on macOS already, but CleanShot offers some additional features

58
00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:12,760
you might find useful. There's best-in-class annotation tools

59
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:18,050
or my personal favorite scrolling capture. It's perfect for long webpages, conversations,

60
00:04:18,050 --> 00:04:23,070
or pieces of code. And their new OCR tool can even make that content searchable.

61
00:04:23,070 --> 00:04:29,320
That's pretty neat actually. Try CleanShot today and up your screenshot game with the link below.

62
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,010
- [Cook] And now let's talk about iPad mini. - The iPad mini is one of those models

63
00:04:34,010 --> 00:04:39,010
that can feel neglected, sitting at the back of the class, small, and quiet.

64
00:04:39,010 --> 00:04:43,330
But I'm pleased to report it's got the update we all know it deserved.

65
00:04:43,330 --> 00:04:49,610
Taking cues from last year's iPad Air, it comes in pink, purple, space gray, and starlight.

66
00:04:49,610 --> 00:04:54,490
The screen is slightly bigger, while the device is slightly smaller, making it even more pocketable.

67
00:04:54,490 --> 00:04:57,453
Wait, what pockets can hold an iPad mini?

68
00:04:59,457 --> 00:05:00,963
It's gonna fit, right?

69
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,560
- [Andy] Good luck sitting on that. (laughs)

70
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,350
- What's good is that this new mini gets the latest A15 chip from the iPhone 13 Pro.

71
00:05:14,350 --> 00:05:20,100
It now supports the second generation Apple Pencil, which I should note move the volume buttons to the top now.

72
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:23,463
Which way is up depends on the iPads orientation, right?

73
00:05:24,810 --> 00:05:32,440
If you want your iPad on the go, it's available with 5G, which adds $150 to the $500 base price for a 64GB model,

74
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,440
which is $100 more than the outgoing mini. (sighs)

75
00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:41,760
If it is cost you're concerned about, and as a GP, I am,

76
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,210
the basic $330 iPad actually got cheaper in a way.

77
00:05:46,210 --> 00:05:50,400
Based storage is doubled from the poultry 32 gigabytes we got in the last model.

78
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,230
The other changes are minor but significant. The Processor has been updated to the same A13

79
00:05:56,230 --> 00:06:00,550
that's in the iPhone 11, and the front facing camera is a 12 megapixel job

80
00:06:00,550 --> 00:06:04,780
that features the same center stage feature found in this year's iPad Pro,

81
00:06:04,780 --> 00:06:08,339
the mini gets it too. All right, what time is it now?

82
00:06:08,339 --> 00:06:12,730
Watch time, okay, yes, there is a new one.

83
00:06:12,730 --> 00:06:15,820
Rumors about the series seven predicted a slab sided design,

84
00:06:15,820 --> 00:06:19,760
a la iPad and iPhone. But what we will get later in the fall

85
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,400
is a bigger screen that stretches into the watches softer curves.

86
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,540
This bigger screen refracts light at the edge of the case

87
00:06:27,540 --> 00:06:30,690
with a neat effect, and the larger size has allowed Apple

88
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:36,360
to make the interface elements bigger and more tappable as well as adequate to keyboard to the watch.

89
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,310
Apple is also saying that the screen is behind a figure front crystal,

90
00:06:40,310 --> 00:06:46,030
do limited models get the crystal screen now? Which should be more resistant to cracks.

91
00:06:46,030 --> 00:06:53,140
Let me tell you, after using this watch for a bunch of months, I'm amazed at how many things I bump into like walls even.

92
00:06:53,140 --> 00:06:56,370
Other than faster charging, which should be able to give you

93
00:06:56,370 --> 00:06:59,630
a night's worth of sleep tracking after only eight minutes plugged in

94
00:06:59,630 --> 00:07:03,440
there's no new health sensors or et cetera this time around.

95
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,270
Prices are the same as last year's series six at $400,

96
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:12,040
but annoyingly lower end models prices are unchanged as well.

97
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,750
The SE still costs 280, and the series three is still priced at $200.

98
00:07:17,750 --> 00:07:21,320
So that means we're going into a third year at that price.

99
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,800
I'm a little annoyed that the price of entry to the Apple watch has remained this stubbornly high.

100
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,150
Hardware released from Apple is the most fun, but Apple is now a content creation company.

101
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:37,610
Not unlike us it seems. Health oriented subscribers to Apple Fitness+

102
00:07:37,610 --> 00:07:42,290
can give Pilates and guided meditation a try, but I think the most compelling addition

103
00:07:42,290 --> 00:07:46,250
is group workouts through SharePlay. Working at alone can be isolating

104
00:07:46,250 --> 00:07:50,820
and burn more motivation than calories, but being able to virtually exercise

105
00:07:50,820 --> 00:07:54,410
with someone anywhere in the world seems great actually.

106
00:07:54,410 --> 00:08:00,805
Right at the top of the event saw a promo for the new star studded fall lineup of shows on Apple TV+,

107
00:08:00,805 --> 00:08:06,530
John Stewart, Tom Hanks, Jennifer, what's her name from friends, Anniston, Will Ferrell.

108
00:08:06,530 --> 00:08:10,090
There's a lot of content to cozy up to as the temps get colder.

109
00:08:10,090 --> 00:08:14,160
California is a nice place. Video streaming is a cool distribution method,

110
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,810
but this event was really about the devices, and it looks like anyone who is holding off

111
00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:23,230
for updates can finally exhale. Especially you iPad mini users,

112
00:08:23,230 --> 00:08:27,860
you know who you are. Thanks for British Columbia streaming this Mac Address.

113
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:31,520
If you like any of the devices or shows announced today, give us a like,

114
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,500
and if you're hoping to buy one, why not subscribe? Then you can let me buy it first

115
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:39,900
and see if all is good. And if you are an iPad mini user,

116
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:44,463
I am curious why you chose the smaller device so comment below.
