Everything Apple Announced Today at IPhone SE That Really Matters
Apple held a special event today to announce a new smaller iPhone, a new iPad model, and several software updates. Let’s see what awaits us.
The iPhone SE is a four-inch phone that’s as powerful as the iPhone 6s
Apple has announced a new iPhone model – the iPhone SE . It comes with the same processor and graphics performance as the iPhone 6s, but in a four-inch model about the size and shape of the iPhone 5s. Like the 6s, the SE has a 12MP iSight camera that lets you shoot 4K video. It starts at $ 399 for the 16GB model and $ 499 for the 64GB model. Orders start on March 24th and the iPhone SE ships on March 31st.
There’s a new smaller iPad Pro that’s just as powerful as the iPad Pro
Apple has announced a smaller version of the iPad Pro . The new iPad Pro has the same 9.7-inch screen as the iPad Air, but the internals are roughly the same as the iPad Pro. It is equipped with a screen with low reflectivity and wide color gamut. It also has a new “true tone display” that measures the color temperature of the ambient light and adjusts the display to match the temperature of the light in the room. The 9.7-inch iPad Pro packs everything you’d expect, including a 12MP iSight camera, 64-bit A9X chip, and 4K video capability. The 9.7-inch iPad Pro will retail for $ 599 for the 32GB model and $ 749 for the 128GB model. There’s also a 256GB version for $ 899. Orders start on March 24th and ship on March 31st.
iOS 9.3 Available Today
iOS 9.3 is available to everyone today. The update adds a new F.lux-like night shift mode, password protected notes and more. You can find a full overview of all the new features in the update here .
CareKit pulls data from Health to help you better understand your health
The Health app and the accompanying ResearchKit API are Apple’s way of better monitoring your health, but it doesn’t really help you feel better. CareKit is a new API that will expand this medical information so you can test and track your treatment after your doctor visit. It can help you track and share your medication data, basic health information, and more, as long as your hospital supports it. As with ResearchKit, you can decide what information will be shared with your doctor and what will remain confidential.
Apple Watch gets price cut and new bands
Apple Watch price dropped. It now starts at $ 299 (up from $ 349) for the base model. There are also several new watch straps, including a new woven nylon strap in a variety of colors.
Apple TV Gets Dictation, Siri for the App Store, iCloud Photos Support, and Folders to Organize Today
If you’re a fan of the new Apple TV, an update is coming out today that adds dictation support, the ability to use Siri in the App Store, support for iCloud photos, and now supports folders so you can better organize your Apps.
