Hey guys, Stephen Colter Mac here
0:05
Now Apple's WWDC Keynote was jam-packed full of software and hardware updates
0:10
So in this video, I'm going to walk you through everything you need to know about what was announced
0:14
So let's get started. Tim Cook avoided the usual yearly updates this year and declared that there were six key announcements at this keynote
0:22
The first of which was TVOS. Unfortunately though, there was no new TVOS operating system this year
0:28
ей only the edition of Amazon Prime video heading to the platform later this year. And..
0:32
Nothing else. Yeah, it's a bit disappointing. The second of the announcement was WatchOS4
0:37
bringing new watch faces in the forms of the Siri face, which brings update notifications based on timer location, news, home kit and more
0:45
Along with the Toy Story and a Collideroscope watch face, which bring even more varieties to Apple's supremely personal wearable
0:51
Exercise and fitness features also received a lot of attention. WatchOS4 makes it quicker to start workouts by reducing the number of taps to start training
0:58
and there's even a new exercise mode for high intensity interval training. The upgrade also
1:03
makes it easier for the Apple Watch to communicate with gym equipment, making the advice
1:06
the best platform for fitness junkies. Finally, a new Apple Watchdog will bring up apps faster
1:11
As expected iOS 11 was announced at the keynote where Apple is packing in more new features than ever before A smarter than ever Siri and new machine learning features mean your iPhone and iPad will be more proactive about making suggestions and display notifications
1:25
The revamped Control Centre finally adds customizable buttons, which basically turns your iPhone into a remote control for your life
1:32
Big improvements will make messages even more useful, and finally, Apple is diving into augmented reality with iOS's new AR kit
1:40
a full-featured API platform built into iOS 11. The AR programming tools will allow iPhones and iPads to add virtual objects to any scene
1:47
by detecting things like depth, surfaces, ambient light, motion and scale. In an on-stage demo, a real-world tabletop got covered in virtual objects like a lamp and a coffee cup
1:56
which interacted with each other, with the coffee cup casting a digital shadow when the lamp next to it lit up
2:01
which is pretty damn cool. The result will be a slow of apps capable of introducing virtual objects that know about
2:06
and interact with the real world. This will turn our iPhones and iPads, according to Craig Federigi, into the largest AR platform in the world virtually overnight
2:15
The iPad also got some much-needed love on the software side of life too. iOS 11 makes the iPad a viable PC replacement by bringing powerful productivity tools to Apple's tablet
2:25
System drag and drop lets you move photos music files and more in apps Plus a new files app which replaces ICloud Drive allows you to organize documents photos and other files the way you want And the new app doc at the bottom of the screen brings some macOS usability features
2:39
that will make you miss your MacLess. After years of ignoring the Mac Pro and last year's device of 2016 MacBock Pro launch, Apple
2:47
clearly lavished some love on its computer line-up over the past year. First, this week's W.WDC Keynote rolled out the expected upgrade to the Mac's core operating
2:55
system. Dubbed macOS high Sierra, it will bring Apple's vaunted APFS file system to all Macs
3:01
which means some stunning speed bumps for existing machines. Then, cooking company doubled down
3:06
showing off new iMacs and laptops shipping today. Finally, the Cupertino crew went all in
3:11
giving true believers their first look at the seriously badass iMac Pro that will zoom onto desktops
3:16
later this year. With Apple's latest A10X fusion processor, the new 10.5 inch iPad Pro
3:21
packs the best performance of any iPad ever. It also sports the best display yet
3:25
It refreshes at 120 hertz, delivers 600 nits of brightness, and brings true tone, wide
3:30
color gamut and HDR video support. Then there's a new feature called Pro Motion, which combines hardware and software acceleration
3:37
to boost display performance and make the Apple Pencil even sharper than ever
3:41
All that tablet greatness gets jammed into the 9 iPad form factor we come to know and love And the bigger screen means the 10 inch iPad Pro offers a full on keyboard as well as offering a full smart keyboard The new iPad is available for order today at a base price of for the 64 Wi
3:59
base model and ships next week. In a refreshing throwback to the good old days when Steve Jobs would delight the world
4:05
with One More Thing, Tim Cook showed off Apple's latest product, a smart speaker called
4:10
the HomePod. It's not the sexiest name, and it wasn't totally unexpected
4:14
Still, the HomePod brought a little hardware razzle-dazzle to the WWDC 2017 keynote
4:20
Will it be bold enough to reinvent the way we enjoy music in the home, as Phil Schiller predicted
4:24
On paper and in the quick demo, the HomePod sounds like the quintessential Apple product
4:28
A high-end music device that works a lot like competing products, but puts an Apple stamp on the audio enchilada
4:34
HomePod is designed to work seamlessly with Apple Music and also function as a voice-activated HomeKit Hub
4:40
It lands this December at a cost of $349. Well, it's it for this video, but let me know in the comments section down below what you're most excited to try out from W.D.C. 2017
