Ready or not, a new iPhone is on the way, as well as many other new Apple products. The tech giant unveiled its latest round of new tech at a news conference Wednesday in San Francisco. Time Warner Cable News’ technology reporter Adam Balkin has all the details on the new gadgets soon heading to store shelves.
New iPhone? Check. New iPad? Check. New Apple TV? Check. New Apple Watches? Check. At Apple's big unveiling, it even showed off a new Apple Pencil. So, here you go, a quick rundown of them all.
The iPhone 6S and 6S+. They're more powerful, have better cameras, but also what Apple's calling 3D Touch, so like with the watch, a firmer touch equals a different on-screen action - from digging you deeper into messages to activating something new called Live Photos.
“You have a street scene, beautiful sunlight, you press on it and the cars begin to move,” says Philip Schiller of Apple. “In these Live Photos, you can have sound"
The new iPhones will start at $200. Pre-orders begin September 12, they hit stores on the 25th. On the iPad front, the new iPad Pro is a super-sized, super-powered iPad.
“Let’s put next to it our previous largest iPad, that’s iPad Air 2,” Schiller says. “If you look at the width of the iPad Pro, it is the same as the height of the iPad Air."
Out in November starting at $800, it will also have add-ons like a cover with a keyboard inside and the Apple Pencil for more precise touches.
The new Apple TV has a new look, new apps, but much of the magic happens via that new remote which allows touch control, can be used as a remote for video games, and has a Siri search button for voice control. It hits shelves next month starting at $150.
Finally, as for the some of the unveilings you can get today, the new styles of Apple Watches include three from well-known designer Hermes.
