Apple's big 2018 iPhone keynote was short on surprises thanks to a bevy of leaks that came out ahead of the show
0:07
About the only truly shocking moment was Tim Cook's mysterious tweet before the event that turned out to be a bunch of hullabaloo about his missing slideshow clicker
0:15
Despite the lack of shocking new products, there was a lot to love at the iPhone 10s event, from electrocardiograms to liquid retina displays
0:22
So in this video, I'm going to run down the biggest takeaways from the gather-round keynote
0:30
Before we get into what's new, I think we should acknowledge that it wasn't too long
0:36
ago, a Tim Cook said he was going to double down on leaks. But that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from churning out all of the info on all of the
0:42
new devices before they revealed. This year we knew the design, screen sizes, and even the names of all of the new iPhones before
0:49
they were announced. But the only thing that wasn't leaked with the prices, and those weren't much of a shocker
0:55
because the new iPhones are slightly more expensive than last year's models
0:59
Well, we weren't spot on with all of our predictions, if you check out my previous video
1:03
you'll see that we were pretty damn close. But let's check out what's new
1:08
The Apple Watch received its biggest update yet with the announcement of the Apple Watch Series 4
1:13
Not only does a pack a bigger display, but Apple is also adding new health sensors and new
1:17
internal tech. All of the updates make it the fastest, biggest, most beautiful wearable on the block
1:24
In its short existence, Apple Watch has gone from a niche wearable to the most popular watch
1:28
in the world. Now it's about to become even more indispensable with the first ever FDA-approved
1:33
electrocardiogram being sold directly to consumers. The Apple Watch Series 4 pushes the display
1:38
right to the edges. The screens are now more than 30% larger and come in 40mm and 44mm
1:44
sizes as opposed to the 38 and 42mm sizes we've come accustomed to. Despite being bigger
1:51
the casing for the Apple Watch Series 4 is smaller than previous models. Series 4 also packs a new optical
1:57
heart sensor. It now comes with three new heart features. The first is a notification if your heart
2:01
rate is too low. Second, Series 4 can screen your heart rhythm and will send you a notification
2:07
if it detects an irregular heart rhythm. And last, Apple Watch Series 4 can diagnose your heart rhythm
2:12
The third feature is made possible by the electrocardiogram on the back. It's also the first
2:17
ECG product offered over the counter directly to consumers. To use the ECG, you just tap on the digital
2:23
crown. Then it takes about 30 seconds for the watch to measure your heart
2:27
heartbeat patterns. All of the info is stored in the health app and can be shared with your doctor
2:32
Apple ECG has already been cleared by the FDA which is a first for any company The digital crown has been completely re to give wearers haptic feedback to give a more mechanical feel and to give you more accuracy when scrolling
2:47
If you've ever struggled with taking a call on the Apple Watch, you'll be happy to hear that the speaker has been updated to be 50% louder, which is also great for when you're talking
2:55
to Siri or using walkie-talkie mode. The back of the series 4 is made entirely of ceramic and sapphire crystal, which allows
3:02
signals to pass from the front and the back to improve GPS and L2. Despite getting new features and hardware, the Apple Watch Series 4 still brings all-day battery life
3:12
For outdoor workouts, you'll get 6 hours of tracking, which isn't good enough if you're
3:16
into running 100-mile races, but it'll get the job done for just about everybody else
3:22
The thing that might stand out the most on the Apple Watch Series 4 is how many complications
3:25
fit on its bigger display. There's the new watch face with up to 8 different complications, and each one can be
3:31
completely customized so you can focus on productivity, friends or health. Apple updated the modular face 2, so you can use third-party apps with it
3:39
You'll also be able to choose a more simplified watch face if you find the new one to be way too busy
3:44
But all of those options will be nice. New dynamic watch faces interact with the side of the display
3:50
There's one for fire, water and vapour that look really beautiful. Series 4 contains a tiny new S4 chip that has a dual-core 64-bit processor
4:00
It's up to two times faster than the previous S3 chip. The accelerometer and gyroscope have also been updated with next-gen chips that have two times the dynamic range
4:10
On top of all of that, Apple has added a new trick that allows the watch to detect falls
4:14
It sounds like a minor addition, but it could be huge for older wearers like our very own Leander-Kaney with fragile hips
4:21
The Apple Watch Series 4 with GPS is priced at $399 and start at $499 with cellular
4:28
Pre-orders start Friday and the wearable will be available in stores September 21st
4:33
A lot of people have been dreaming of a plus-size iPhone 10 ever since last year's keynote
4:37
and now it's finally here. Apple announced the successes to the 10 in the form of the iPhone 10s and 10s max, both compacking
4:45
with a brand new A12 bionic chip, with greatly improved performance and sound, as well as Apple's
4:50
best displays and even better designs. Meanwhile, the new iPhone 10R delivers the flagship iPhone look and some of the best features
4:58
from the iPhone 10s at a more affordable price. The iPhone 10 has been retired, but they all look like last year's flagship at first glance
5:06
with edge-to-edge displays and smooth glass front and backs. But they're bigger, better and more powerful than every way
5:14
Starting with the 10S and it available in two sizes A 5 inch model that replaces the iPhone 10 and a 6 inch model that shows Apple hasn forgotten about its iPhone Plus lovers
5:26
Both feature OLED screens with the support for Dolby Vision and HDR 10, with a 1 million
5:30
to one contrast ratio, 120 hertz touch sensing, trotone and 3D touch
5:36
According to Apple, they also offer a wider and richer stereo sound experience, but we'll
5:41
be putting that to the test as soon as we get our hands on them. There are also the first iPhones to offer dual sim functionality, allowing users to juggle
5:48
two numbers simultaneously. That's thanks to the traditional SIM card slot and a built-in ESIM that can be connected
5:55
to a whole bunch of supported carriers. In China, where the ESIM isn't supported yet, iPhone 10S and 10s Max will ship with two SIM card slots
6:05
The iPhone 10s and 10s max are powered by an A12 bionic chip, the industry's first 7 nanometer processor
6:12
It's packed with 6.9 billion transistors with a 6-core CPU and a 4-core GPU that's
6:18
up to 50% faster. Apple has also introduced a new 8-core neural engine that's dedicated to machine learning
6:26
Last year's A11 Bionic was capable of processing 600 billion operations per second, but
6:32
the A12 can process a staggering 5 trillion in the same time
6:36
This new neural engine allows for improved portrait mode in the camera app, even better an emoji
6:42
and more immersive augmented reality experiences. Face ID also works faster than ever before
6:47
thanks to faster algorithms and a snappier secure enclave. The iPhone is the world's most popular camera
6:54
and Apple helped its handset secure this crown by delivering the best smartphone shooters every year
6:59
The cameras packed into the iPhone 10s and 10s max are its best yet, and they deliver jaw-dropping results
7:07
There are two sensors on the back of each device, one 12 megapixel sensor with a wide angle lens
7:12
and an F1.8 aperture, and one 12 megapixel sensor with a telephoto lens and an F2.4 aperture
7:19
There's also an improved true tone flash and twice as many focus pixels
7:24
Thanks to an improved image signal processor, which works alongside the neural engine for the first
7:28
time, the new iPhones can identify faces and bodies when you're taking a photo and automatically
7:33
apply adjustments like red eye reduction. By far the most impressive feature of Apple's new cameras is called SmartHDR. It works by capturing numerous frames
7:41
every time you take a photo to get the best white balance, highlights, the shadows, different
7:46
exposures and more. It then yzes those images, picks out the best bits, and merges
7:51
them to produce that one perfect photo All of this happens at lightning speed and it incredibly impressive Both the iPhone 10 and 10s max are protected by the most durable glass ever installed on a smartphone And they have an improved IP 68 rating for dust and water resistance
8:07
They also last longer than their predecessors in between charges. The iPhone 10s and 10s max will be available on gold, silver and space grey with up to 512 gig of storage
8:18
Prices start at $999 for the smaller model and $1,099 for the larger model
8:24
You'll be able to order them this Friday and they'll start shipping September 21st
8:29
The iPhone 10R delivers the iPhone 10 experience at a more affordable price
8:34
It's powered by the same 812 Bionic chip and sports a gorgeous edge to edge display just
8:38
like its siblings, only this time it's an LCD screen. It's the most advanced LCD ever packed into a smartphone according to Apple, and it's called
8:46
the Liquid Retina Display. The screen measures 6.1 inches diagonally, making it bigger than an iPhone 8 plus display, but
8:53
the device itself is smaller. iPhone 10R has just one camera, but it's the same 12 megapixel camera found in the iPhone 10S
9:01
and 10S max. That means you get the same great performance, optical image stabilization, and the improved
9:07
true tone flash. Apple even managed to deliver portrait mode for the iPhone 10R despite just one sensor
9:14
The iPhone 10R is made from 7,000 series aerospace grade aluminium that's finished in either
9:19
white, black, blue, coral, red or yellow. It also boasts an IP 67 rating for dust and water resistance
9:28
Prices start at $749 with 64 gig of storage, but 128 gig and 256 gig models will be available
9:36
You'll be able to order the iPhone 10 R next month, and it will start shipping on October 26
9:42
Yesterday's keynote was more notable for the things it didn't include than the iPhones
9:46
and Apple Watches that were shown. There wasn't any mention of the Air Power Mat that was revealed last year, but still hasn't received
9:52
the shipping date. Apple didn't even bother to mention wireless charging on the new iPhones
9:58
Although that might be because the company didn't want to remind everyone that it still isn't shipping its own wireless power mat
10:04
Apple did however announce release dates for all of the software we've seen in beta form
10:07
since this year's WWDC. iOS 12, WatchOS 5 and TVOS will be available from September 17th, while MacOS Mojave will
10:16
be available from September 24th. Well, that's it for this video, but let me know your thoughts on this year's iPhone event
