00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:04.540
- Summer is over, and you know what that means new iPhones.

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.

00:00:10.050 --> 00:00:14.190
But what I'm most interested in is what they added to the iPhone 13 Pro,

00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:18.710
which to me, makes it earn its Pro moniker a little bit better.

00:00:18.710 --> 00:00:21.740
Let's look at everything that was announced, and I can explain what I mean.

00:00:21.740 --> 00:00:25.750
Oh, darn it. (upbeat music)

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.

00:00:32.220 --> 00:00:35.720
There's a new 6-core A15 chip with four GBU cores

00:00:35.720 --> 00:00:40.500
that's in the iPhone 13 model, while the Pro gets five GPU cores.

00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:44.720
Another interesting thing about the A15 was when they compared its improvements,

00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:48.370
it was against their competitors, instead of last year's chip.

00:00:48.370 --> 00:00:51.820
- [Narrator] Up to 50% faster than the leading competition.

00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:56.510
- Hmm, nonetheless, there is more that all the new iPhones are getting.

00:00:56.510 --> 00:00:59.580
There's improved battery life, providing a claimed one and a half

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.

00:01:05.890 --> 00:01:08.940
Oh yeah, and the notch is 20% narrower.

00:01:08.940 --> 00:01:12.680
There are a couple of new colors here and there. And then, of course,

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.760
improvements to both the camera hardware and software.

00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.718
Great stuff, but with a largely unchanged industrial design,

00:01:20.718 --> 00:01:25.240
this feels more like an S update. I guess those are over now, aren't there?

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:30.630
What do you think? Comment below. iPhones are the best smartphones for recording video.

00:01:30.630 --> 00:01:35.580
And Andy, our camera operator here, is itching to shoot a video entirely on an iPhone.

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.

00:01:40.380 --> 00:01:43.870
Basically, what it does is provide a more robust rack focus

00:01:43.870 --> 00:01:47.100
when recording video. So you can shift the viewer's attention

00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:50.550
from one subject to another behind or in front.

00:01:50.550 --> 00:01:54.460
Rack focusing is a fun thing to do with a real lens, but on the iPhone,

00:01:54.460 --> 00:01:57.580
it's done automatically, predicting what the subject is going to be doing

00:01:57.580 --> 00:02:01.480
based on the shot motion. You can also control it manually.

00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.480
It sounds neat, but getting a smooth focus electronically on these small lenses is hard.

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

00:02:10.910 --> 00:02:15.170
as using one of these big lenses. Woohoo.

00:02:15.170 --> 00:02:19.020
For still photographers, Apple's photographic styles filter

00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:22.230
lets you adjust the look of a photo before you take it.

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

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.

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

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.

00:02:42.710 --> 00:02:46.250
The ultra wide camera supports crazy-looking macro photography,

00:02:46.250 --> 00:02:50.170
but what's most interesting to both me and perhaps our editor Hoffman

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.

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

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

00:03:08.790 --> 00:03:12.880
that comes from cameras as small as these. Maybe Andy's wish will come true,

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.

00:03:18.548 --> 00:03:22.640
Oh, don't forget to mention promotion. Oh yes, all the Pros get it,

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:27.150
and it varies the refresh rate up to 120 Hertz.

00:03:27.150 --> 00:03:31.620
The 13 Pro will be able to shoot at up to 4K, 30 frames per second.

00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:36.020
And since ProRes will take up so much space, they've added a 1TB model,

00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:41.070
which, if you go for a 13 Max, will set you back $1,600.

00:03:41.070 --> 00:03:44.700
But take note, base 128GB models

00:03:44.700 --> 00:03:47.860
are restricted to 1080P ProRes recording.

00:03:47.860 --> 00:03:52.220
Otherwise, prices for all iPhone 13 models are unchanged from last year,

00:03:52.220 --> 00:03:56.430
though the mini and 13 models start with 128GB storage now.

00:03:56.430 --> 00:03:59.940
Finally, pre-orders start Friday.

00:03:59.940 --> 00:04:04.230
In the meantime, let's quickly check out this video sponsor, CleanShot.

00:04:04.230 --> 00:04:09.420
Now yes, you can screenshot on macOS already, but CleanShot offers some additional features

00:04:09.420 --> 00:04:12.760
you might find useful. There's best-in-class annotation tools

00:04:12.760 --> 00:04:18.050
or my personal favorite scrolling capture. It's perfect for long webpages, conversations,

00:04:18.050 --> 00:04:23.070
or pieces of code. And their new OCR tool can even make that content searchable.

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.

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

00:04:34.010 --> 00:04:39.010
that can feel neglected, sitting at the back of the class, small, and quiet.

00:04:39.010 --> 00:04:43.330
But I'm pleased to report it's got the update we all know it deserved.

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.

00:04:49.610 --> 00:04:54.490
The screen is slightly bigger, while the device is slightly smaller, making it even more pocketable.

00:04:54.490 --> 00:04:57.453
Wait, what pockets can hold an iPad mini?

00:04:59.457 --> 00:05:00.963
It's gonna fit, right?

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.560
- [Andy] Good luck sitting on that. (laughs)

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.

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.

00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:23.463
Which way is up depends on the iPads orientation, right?

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,

00:05:32.440 --> 00:05:37.440
which is $100 more than the outgoing mini. (sighs)

00:05:37.700 --> 00:05:41.760
If it is cost you're concerned about, and as a GP, I am,

00:05:41.760 --> 00:05:46.210
the basic $330 iPad actually got cheaper in a way.

00:05:46.210 --> 00:05:50.400
Based storage is doubled from the poultry 32 gigabytes we got in the last model.

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:56.230
The other changes are minor but significant. The Processor has been updated to the same A13

00:05:56.230 --> 00:06:00.550
that's in the iPhone 11, and the front facing camera is a 12 megapixel job

00:06:00.550 --> 00:06:04.780
that features the same center stage feature found in this year's iPad Pro,

00:06:04.780 --> 00:06:08.339
the mini gets it too. All right, what time is it now?

00:06:08.339 --> 00:06:12.730
Watch time, okay, yes, there is a new one.

00:06:12.730 --> 00:06:15.820
Rumors about the series seven predicted a slab sided design,

00:06:15.820 --> 00:06:19.760
a la iPad and iPhone. But what we will get later in the fall

00:06:19.760 --> 00:06:24.400
is a bigger screen that stretches into the watches softer curves.

00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:27.540
This bigger screen refracts light at the edge of the case

00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:30.690
with a neat effect, and the larger size has allowed Apple

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.

00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:40.310
Apple is also saying that the screen is behind a figure front crystal,

00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:46.030
do limited models get the crystal screen now? Which should be more resistant to cracks.

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.

00:06:53.140 --> 00:06:56.370
Other than faster charging, which should be able to give you

00:06:56.370 --> 00:06:59.630
a night's worth of sleep tracking after only eight minutes plugged in

00:06:59.630 --> 00:07:03.440
there's no new health sensors or et cetera this time around.

00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:07.270
Prices are the same as last year's series six at $400,

00:07:07.270 --> 00:07:12.040
but annoyingly lower end models prices are unchanged as well.

00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:17.750
The SE still costs 280, and the series three is still priced at $200.

00:07:17.750 --> 00:07:21.320
So that means we're going into a third year at that price.

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.

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:32.150
Hardware released from Apple is the most fun, but Apple is now a content creation company.

00:07:32.150 --> 00:07:37.610
Not unlike us it seems. Health oriented subscribers to Apple Fitness+

00:07:37.610 --> 00:07:42.290
can give Pilates and guided meditation a try, but I think the most compelling addition

00:07:42.290 --> 00:07:46.250
is group workouts through SharePlay. Working at alone can be isolating

00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:50.820
and burn more motivation than calories, but being able to virtually exercise

00:07:50.820 --> 00:07:54.410
with someone anywhere in the world seems great actually.

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+,

00:08:00.805 --> 00:08:06.530
John Stewart, Tom Hanks, Jennifer, what's her name from friends, Anniston, Will Ferrell.

00:08:06.530 --> 00:08:10.090
There's a lot of content to cozy up to as the temps get colder.

00:08:10.090 --> 00:08:14.160
California is a nice place. Video streaming is a cool distribution method,

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

00:08:18.810 --> 00:08:23.230
for updates can finally exhale. Especially you iPad mini users,

00:08:23.230 --> 00:08:27.860
you know who you are. Thanks for British Columbia streaming this Mac Address.

00:08:27.860 --> 00:08:31.520
If you like any of the devices or shows announced today, give us a like,

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

00:08:35.500 --> 00:08:39.900
and see if all is good. And if you are an iPad mini user,

00:08:39.900 --> 00:08:44.463
I am curious why you chose the smaller device so comment below.
