the event took over an hour but we're going to do the highlights in about 5
0:03
minutes they recap the iOS 7 and iPhone 5c and 5s launches biggest iPhone launch
0:09
ever with 9 million sold as of last month and 200 million devices running
0:13
iOS 7 in the first 5 days um but if by
0:16
run they mean what my iPhone 4 does with iOS 7 then Mr cook and I can agree to
0:21
disagree about that particular number first up for new stuff is OS 10
0:25
Mavericks no more cat names we're switching to locations in California
0:29
Mavericks improves power efficiency promising longer browsing time and movie
0:33
Playback and adds memory compression for inactive RAM having 6 gigs of data in 4
0:38
gigs of RAM sounds awesome and is much better than swapping that data from the
0:42
SSD Maverick also dynamically resizes the system RAM allocated as a GPU frame
0:47
buffer so if the GPU needs more RAM it can grab it on demand now why would you
0:52
want more RAM for your integrated Graphics well it supports opencl now
0:56
which means you can use the GPU to yield better performance with supported work
1:00
loads the new software features include better multi-display support maps and
1:04
iBooks apps notifications that can be dealt with without losing focus on the
1:07
current application document and file tagging the iCloud keychain for password
1:11
management and a lot more it's a singl step upgrade and it's free for pretty
1:17
much anyone who bought an Apple computer in the last half dozen years damn the
1:22
retina MacBook Pro about time right is here with Haswell fourth generation
1:27
Intel Core Series processors in 13in and 15in varieties the 13in is under 32 lb
1:33
and 71 in thick it features Thunderbolt
1:36
2 a PCI Express based SSD Intel Iris Graphics up to 9 hours of battery life
1:41
and AC Wireless it's also $200 cheaper
1:44
than the old model for a base config with a 2.4 GHz I5 dual core 4 gigs of
1:49
RAM and a 128 gig SSD the 15-in model is
1:53
quad core core i7 only and gets AC Wireless PCIe SSD teac Thunderbolt 2 up
1:59
to 8 hours of battery life and is just generally beefier in every possible way
2:03
but on top of a discret NVIDIA GeForce GT 750m option it has Intel Iris Pro
2:08
onboard graphics with Crystal well which is a 128 Meg cache that acts as an
2:13
overflow for the CPU's level three cache and can assist with either CPU or GPU
2:19
intensive tasks it also gets a $200 price reduction for the base model which
2:22
has 8 gigs of RAM and a 256 gig SSD we've got almost every detail except a
2:27
release date other than this year some time for the upcoming Mac Pro it runs
2:31
xeons in Quad 6 8 or 12 core configs and
2:35
can have up to 30 Megs of level three cache it has 40 PCIe gen 3 lanes and
2:40
uses DDR3 1866 ECC memory and be can be
2:44
configured with up to 64 gigs of that in a quad Channel config it runs dual AMD
2:49
firepro gpus and a variety of configurations up to some pretty overpowered looking stuff and uses a PCI
2:54
Express based SSD that can handle up to 1 Gigabyte per second right speeds
2:59
Thunderbolts 2 hasn't seen much adoption but that doesn't stop the new Mac Pro
3:02
from having six ports allowing three 4K displays and overall as many as 36
3:07
devices including external PCIe enclosures storage devices and whatever
3:11
else you can imagine to be connected power consumption at idle is improved
3:15
but I guess that's bound to happen when you skip entire generations of processor
3:19
technology in between your product refreshes and idle noise tends to scale
3:23
pretty tily with idle power but I need you to show me load numbers and then
3:27
I'll care mark my words guys this machine will not be quiet! underload AC
3:31
Wireless is standard and a very hum drum looking config looks like it'll run you
3:35
around $3,000 iif Suite updates include iOS 7
3:39
makeovers and iCloud integration for iPhoto iMovie and garage band you can
3:43
have more tracks in GarageBand their Pages numbers and Keynotes applications
3:47
now support live editing and some other needo features not going to spend much
3:51
time on that though it's not that these updates aren't very important they are
3:54
it's just that this is called Techquickie and creating a concert poster of
3:58
yourself isn't Tech in the same way that dual fire Pro cards in a PC the size of
4:03
a novelty trash bin that sits on your desk is with that said I work is now
4:08
completely free which is awesome free OS
4:11
and free productivity Suite if I'm Microsoft and I'm not making money on
4:15
Hardware to fund the development of my software I am scared right now iPad
4:19
larger version Apple can't seem to decide what to call this thing from
4:22
generation to generation gets a new look and a new name the ID has been updated
4:26
to be more like the iPad mini and it's called the iPad a air now it's 43%
4:31
thinner than the previous model on the bezel and 20% thinner in thickness it's
4:36
1 lb compared to 1.4 lb and it has the new A7 chip same as the iPhone 5S a
4:42
refresher for those who don't remember that means a 64-bit processor up to
4:45
eight times better CPU performance than the iPad 1 72 times better GPU
4:50
performance than the iPad 1 and the M7 motion co-processor mimo Wireless has
4:54
been added which is a huge deal for heavy Wireless users and it's not like
4:58
iPads have Ethernet port so yeah you
5:01
kind of rely on wireless I guess they added some other incremental upgrades
5:05
too dual mic stand out to me as a really nice feature for better voice
5:09
communication for example it's available in silver SL white and space gray/black
5:14
and is expensive as balls considering that it's a 16 gig tablet but let's face
5:20
it apparently 80% of you are using iOS compared to Android for your tablet
5:24
experience so it must be worth it right it's available starting November 1st the
5:27
iPad Mini has been given the retina treatment as expected with a 7.9 in
5:31
2048x 1536 display it gets a 10-hour battery life the same A7 with M7 motion
5:38
co-processor combo as its Big Brother Get It M7 knows where you are and so
5:42
does Big Brother so anyway I'm sorry it
5:45
has an A7 processor and mimo Wireless which means it is dramatically faster in
5:50
every possible way than the iPad Mini 1 it also comes in silverwhite and space
5:55
gray SL black and is more expensive than the original iPad Mini which looks like
5:59
it'll be a continuing model there are new colorful covers to protect your
6:03
screen and new colorful cases if you want to protect your whole iPad and
6:07
