Apple Autumn Conference: iPhone 7, Watch and something else

Published:

In San Francisco in the US there was held the conference, during which Apple presented its latest smartphones, a watch and headphones. I invite you for a quick report.

The Autumn conference was started - as is usually it is the case - the head of Apple Tim Cook. At the beginning - traditionally - he introduced several summaries.

140 million downloads from the AppStore. Twice as higher profit of developers. Two million applications and five hundred thousand games in the AppStore. Boring slides evolved one after the other. Finally a surprise. On the stage came Shigeru Miyamoto from Nintendo and announced the introduction of the latest game Super Mario on the iOS platform.

Another topic is education. Cook enjoys the popularity of Apple's educational program, but much more important are the changes in iWork. There is the possibility of multiple users to work on a single document. In each application package.

And finally, new products - first Apple Watch. There isn't yet a new model, but as a consolation - on the existing model, you can now play Pokemon GO! It's an incredibly important change;)

But there is also Watch OS 3.0 with new features, but most of all - the new generation of Apple Watch! The watch is called the Apple Watch Series 2 and it is waterproof. It even has a dehumidification system speaker as CAT S60. The watch has a new, dual-core CPU, GPU, and will be half faster than its predecessor. The screen was improved too - increasing brightness. There is also the GPS. It also includes new material on housing: ceramic. Apple Watch Series 2 will be available in ceramic white variety. Probably expensive. There will also be a special, available in four colours, edition of the Nike+ - for runners. With the social networking site. Moreover - the previous generation of Watch, now called Series 1, will also receive a faster, dual-core processor. Series 2 (also Nike+) costs 369 and Series 1 - $ 269.

It's time for the iPhone. First update iOS 10. Enhanced voice control, new maps, intelligent management of the home, as well as the refreshed messages application. A lot of changes, the biggest update in the history of iOS. And finally: there is the iPhone 7! Only one ?! No, there is also Plus.

Phil Shiller presents the new iPhone. The iPhone 7 debuts in a new colour - glossy black. A great reference to 3G. There is also the color of silver and rose gold. The home button was changed. Now it's force-sensitive, or Touch Force. iPhone 7 is watertight - IP67.

It's time for a new camera. 12 megapixels, OIS, 6-element lens with f/1.8 aperture, quad-LED True Tone flash, which is to give a more natural light - and a new image processing sensor. The camera is quick - takes a picture in 25 ms. The front camera has 7 megapixels for a change. In turn, the iPhone 7 Plus will receive two 12-megapixel cameras. One with a telephoto lens, the second wide-angle. As a result, we gain a kind of digital zoom, as well as the option to change the focus in photos after shooting and of course blurring the background or bokeh. The possibility of blurring the background appears, however, only in the update.

The new iPhone display is better than in its predecessors - but there hasn't beengiven its closer parameters. We only know that there is better colour rendering. They improved the sound and EarPods headphones. They are connected by a Lightning port, so we say goodbye to minijack. do We do not have to worry about the lack of good headphones – another ones will be created by eg. JBL. Fortunately, Apple will also add the adapter to the minijack. What's interesting - free of charge to each phone. What an extravagance;)

Another new feature is the wireless AirPods headphones. Apple wants to compensate for the lack of minijack...?

AirPods do not have a connecting cable – they are separate, but similar to the shape of the wire ones. Each can work up to 5 hours, has a noise-canceling function and the loading from a special dock. To pair it with your phone just open that doc. They are also compatible with iPads and Macs. The headphones use a specially developed system W1, which will go to the headphones of the Beats brand.

We go back to the phone. Apple Pay in the iPhone 7 now works with "Japanese" NFC or FeliCa. The new iPhone also has a new processor A10 Fusion. It has two powerful and two economical cores - and, of course, the phone provides a great performance. Hand in hand with the performance goes a better battery - working longer than in the previous iPhone.

The new models will be offered with larger memories, but previous generations will receive bigger capacity flash media. Here are the versions and prices:

The presentation ended with performance of the Australian singer Sia. It's sad, but I have the impression that Apple's presentations from year to year become more and more boring.

Fewer and fewer specifics about the devices, too many guests who have little to say, too many frills, and the fast pace of the presentation slides. Did you watch Livestream? Do you also have such an impression...?
