Apple iPad Pro and Macbook Air event 2018 in under 12 minutes By Engadget

Good morning it is so great to be in New, York, and I'm incredibly excited today to introduce an all-new MacBook Air with a Retina display and a lot more and here it is familiar. Aluminum bezel of the current MacBook Air is gone. The new air sleep design takes the display glass right to the edge of the enclosure forming borders that are 50% narrower. It features a 13.3 inch display, which is the perfect size for such a portable notebook and when it comes to resolution, we've taken the pixels and quadrupled them providing four times. The resolution for over 4 million pixels the MacBook Air has another new feature that customers have been asking for and that's touch ID with a durable sapphire crystal surface. We've put the touch ID sensor right into the keyboard and to enable touch ID.

The new air comes with Apple's t2 security chip. The new MacBook Air has our latest generation keyboard with keys that offer four times the stability over the previous generation, creating a modern keyboard, with a more precise and responsive typing experience and backlit, with individual LEDs behind each and every key for more accurate illumination and a modern keyboard does he deserve to be paired with a modern trackpad. So we've replaced the old diving board version with a new force touch trackpad. It has 20% more surface area which extends the functionality of multi-touch gestures and with pressure sensing capabilities and have to feed back, it's quieter and more capable it is 25% louder. It has two times more bass and wide stereo sound.

In addition, it has a three microphone array which will make those group FaceTime calls crystal-clear. It also improves the voice recognition of Siri, so the new MacBook Air has two Thunderbolt 3 ports. There's an eighth generation, dual-core CPU, along with the latest Intel integrated graphics, and it also supports up to 16 gigabytes of faster memory, which is double the capacity of the previous air and SSDs that are up to 1.5 terabytes in capacity and 60% faster. The new air has an unbelievable 17%, less volume than its predecessor. It's just 15 point six millimeters, which is ten percent thinner than the previous air, and yet, with all these new features, the new MacBook Air weighs just 2.75 pounds. So we're really proud to say today that every new MacBook Air is made from 100% recycled a little.

So the new MacBook Air is configured with eight gigabytes of memory, a 1.6 core i5 processor, with turbo up to 3.6 and 128 gigs of storage, and we'll start at 1199. You can order it starting today, and it will be available next week. I can't wait to tell you about the biggest update ever to the new Mac Mini. Now I'm sure you've noticed that we've, given it an awesome space. Great finish.

Every Mac Mini starts with four cores taking performance to a whole new level, but we didn't think that was far enough, so we're also giving back many six-course processors as well. So the new Mac Queenie can now go up to 64 gigs of memory. So now, every Mac Mini has all flash storage with SSDs that are up to four times faster and capacities up to 2 terabytes and that's double the capacity of the previous Mac Mini. So the cool wall is powerful. New technology, the new Mac Mini, has an entirely new thermal system with double the air flow, while still being super quiet with gigabit Ethernet for accounting for Thunderbolt 3 ports, an HDMI port, 2, USB ports.

It can connect to almost anything and not only that you can configure the Mac Mini with 10 Gigabit Ethernet as well for superfast networking performance. The entry config has 8 gigs of memory, a 3.6 gigahertz, quad-core processor and 128 gigabyte SSDs, and it starts at just $7.99. You can configure it up to 64 gigs of memory, a higher frequency, core, i7 processor, up to 2, terabyte SSD and with 10 Gigabit Ethernet. You can order it starting the day, and it'll be available next week and every Mac Mini enclosure is made from you guessed it 100% recycled aluminum. Today we're announcing an all new iPad Pro.

It's kind of it's gonna push what you can do on iPad or on any computer even further, and here it is. This is the same. Take anywhere sighs you loved in the 10.5 inch design, but now with an 11-inch display- and this is the new 12 point- 9-inch iPad Pro these new iPad pros are just five point: nine millimeters thin. It now has faced ID but bring it to the iPad Pro mat. We had to optimize the cameras, and we even had to retrain the underlying neural networks to work specifically in all the ways that you use your iPad portrait landscape attached to a keyboard and no matter how you use these new iPad pros.

They are always right-side up. You can swipe down from the upper right-hand corner to get to control center. You access the dock by swiping up from the bottom. If you continue swiping up and pause, you get to the app switcher, and you can even swipe along the bottom edge to quickly switch between your most recently used apps. You can work with two apps at once, using split view.

You just drag an app up from the dock to the side, and then you can easily drag and drop between them and slide over gets you a quick view to another app like when you need to quickly respond to a message: there's always plenty of room to get what you need done. These new iPad pros are powered by the all new, a 12 X Bionic. This is new, a 12 X, has more than 10 billion transistors. The 12 X features an 8 core CPU with for performance cores and for high efficiency course. The 12 X Bionic has an all new Apple design, seven core GPU that delivers two times the performance of the previous generation.

To put it another way, the iPad Pro delivers Xbox One S, Class, graphics, performance and a product, that's 94%, smaller and there's no AC cord required, and so in these new iPad Pro's we're moving to USB, C cameras, musical instruments or even dots or connecting to high resolution external displays up to 5k and also for the first time on these prose. We now support charging out over USB, so you can even charge your iPhone when you're on the go. The new Apple Pencil attaches magnetically to the iPad Pro it automatically pairs and starts charging wirelessly tapping. The screen with the Apple Pencil will wake the iPad Pro and lunch instantly into the Notes app and this year there's a whole new way of interacting with the Apple Pencil, just tap twice on it to switch modes in notes, you can switch between your current tool and the eraser and in other apps, this behavior will be customizable, which puts even more control into our users hands. Also, this year we have a new smart keyboard folio.

It continues to deliver a great typing experience in a thin and light design with no pairing charging or batteries required, and it's even simpler to use it magnetically attaches to the iPad Pro, and it protects both the front in the back. It has a screen angle that is great in your lap and another that's great at your desk. For the first time, Autodesk will be bringing the desktop engine of AutoCAD to the iPad. This is Assassin's Creed rebellion from Ubisoft, a fan favorite on the console coming to the iPad. For the first time.

Not only does the new iPad unlock stunning visual effects like ambient fog and sunlight streaming through these windows, but it also delivers on the next level of texture and detail on everything you see, and it's running at an unbelievable 120 frames per second, something no console can deliver even the sidelines and the thousands of fans are individually rendered in high resolution. We meticulously recreate every single NBA player using high-end shaders, to get all the details to pop just look at his hair. The accurate tattoos, the beads of sweat on his skin we've even rendered his Jersey down to the pinholes, we're rendering nearly 6 million pixels at full Retina resolution with no upscale Photoshop means having the full power of your layer stack and your adjustments now I want to make this flower in the middle really stand out. So, let's add an adjustment layer, and we can find a hue that really looks nice, okay right about there and now, let's use the brush tool and I can come in here and color back on that mask and just reveal the white petals below, and I'm doing this with the Apple Pencil feels so smooth and intuitive. It's great to be right here with the canvas.

Okay, let's zoom all the way out- and you can see the sheer scale of this piece- it is a real PSD. The same I would work with on the desktop it's over three gigs. It's a hundred and fifty-seven layers, twelve thousand by twelve thousand pixels, and I'm zooming through it at lightning speed, no lag, so we've instituted a shortcut on the Apple Pencil. Just double tap, get right back out! Double tap! Get right back in I can do things like bring in some interactive elements like these butterflies and I can set them to animate when I start the experience, and now I can use my iPad to become the cinematographer of this moment. Your lemon inch iPad Pro is offered in these four storage options, and it starts at $7.99 the twelve point. Nine-inch iPad Pro is offered in these same storage options, and it starts at $9.99. Customers can start placing orders today, and they're going to be showing up next week in the center John met me down at the boulevard.

I cried on his shoulder, because life is hard. The waves came in over my head. What you have been up to.
