Well, apart from AirTags.Ġ9:50 - We're just 10 minutes away now. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that's the most likely miss. Apple really doesn't seem to love that little device in the same way it does the iPad Pro, thanks to the fact it's generally bought by those that just fancy a little tablet and care less about the specs. On the subject of the iPad Mini 6, I'd be surprised if that appears, even though it's strongly rumored. You should have fired up your stream if you haven't already. Will they appear? Will they not? If Apple pans past an AirPower charging mat with AirTags on, and doesn't announce either, it would be an amazing middle-finger easter egg to all you fans.Ġ9:55 - Down to five minutes now. We're speeding over the Apple Campus as usual.Ġ9:57 - I've upset myself thinking about the AirTags. Tim is walking down a path that I've walked down, past the little tables.ĪPPLE CAR? No, Apple Card. Tim is pledging that by 2030 it'll be carbon neutral from end to end - meaning from creation to the removal of products, to remove more than 1 million tonnes of carbon every year. The thermal system has been replaced by two small fans after Apple has shrunken the system down, and will not make more than 10dB of noise, and is 11.5mm thin to help it slip into more places.įirst up talking about how the brand is carbon neutral. The camera, mic and speaker have been overhauled too.ġ0:23 - I can talk happily about color. Smart latency management means you're less likely to talk over someone in a video call too.ġ0:25 - Talking about the display now - there's Truetone on board to change the white balance, and a coating that allows for an easier viewing experience. There's a three-way mic, with beam-forming to ignore background noise better - or even to record voice. 'The best camera we've ever put in a Mac'. Apple's new M1 neural engine will balance the lighting from the sensor too, so Apple is clearly going after the webcam.
#APPLE KEYNOTE RECAP FULL#
A Full HD camera, with improved low-light performance. The same model is supported and the Magic Keyboard too - although that's coming in a new white color.ġ0:26 - As we're all working from home, this is why Apple has boosted things up.

I think it was just a trick of the light.

Time to get a fresh cup of tea.ġ0:55 - Oh, no there's the 11-inch model - and that's starting at $799 and the 12.9-inch version costs $1,099 - both available to order April 30, and out second half of May.ġ0:54 - Apple Pencil getting upgraded? Is it? Ah, no. Apple event live blog: the whole launch as it happensĪll times are in Pacific Standard Time (PST)ġ0:58 - Heading back to Tim now - are we wrapping up? I still can't get over the fact we've got the AirTags.Īnd we're done. There were a few things missing: we didn't hear anything on any new AirPods 3, an iPad mini 6 didn't appear, and we didn't get Apple Music and Podcasts rolling together to push the power of those two platforms into one.īut there was still a lot to take in, and it had to be written at breakneck speed – so read on to see the event as it happened and find out everything that launched at the Spring Loaded Apple Event. The Siri remote looks miles better now too – it's thicker, with the Siri button on the side and a return to the scrollwheel from iPods of old. This isn't going to change movies that much, but it will help make sports look better and you can now stream your 60 frames per second Dolby Vision movies that you shot on the iPhone directly with AirPlay.
#APPLE KEYNOTE RECAP UPGRADE#
We've got an upgrade to the Apple TV 4K, which doesn't come as part of a HomePod speaker sadly, and it can now process images using the A12 chipset from recent iPhones - so it can do high frame rate HDR.

The M1 chipset can improve the power of the internal, now Full HD webcam as well, as Apple realises the world needs more Zoom calls.

The new iMac, powered by the new M1 chip too, comes with tweaks rather than gargantuan changes: new colors are interesting, harking back to the retro iMac days of yore, and the speakers are upgraded too.
