A new month, a new keynote! After the September event, Apple has also wanted to cover the covers in this intense month of October with another press conference in which it has presented new products that are added to its catalog. And be careful because they are not of any kind: we are talking about a HomePod mini , which comes to fight directly with current smart speakers (hello, Amazon) and the new iPhone 12 , with no less than 4 different versions – we have never seen so many of the same phone. If you missed the presentation or just want to give it a good overview with the essentials of the quote based on GIFs, you are in the right place. Be comfortable.
The highlights of today’s Apple event in GIFs!
Below you have a summary with GIFs -which, hey, always make everything more enjoyable- of everything that happened today below. All yours.
- Tim Cook did not beat around the bush (there was a lot to tell) and has announced the first of his big announcements: the HomePod mini .
- A smart speaker, “with incredible sound”, Siri as the singing voice (of course) and sporting that spherical design and so small that it had already been filtered (and that we had liked so much) in black and white.
- To tell us about its qualities they have teleported us to a little house, where we have discovered that it is compatible with a multitude of services (such as Apple Music, podcasts and radio stations, Amazon Music …), and if it is paired with another mini they can be used to have sound stereo.
- In addition, it acts as an intercom (like Walkie-talkie) with other Apple devices, including Apple Watch and even Car Play, and will, of course, take care of managing other smart devices in your home.
- On Friday , November 6, your reservation begins (and goes on sale from the week of the 16) for 99 euros.
- If the event has not been slow to start with the HomePod Mini, what about the iPhone. Tim has quickly turned the page to talk about his right eye and the joys he has brought to the company over time.
- “Today is the beginning of a new era” and 5G – which they have repeated ad nauseam – has a lot to do with it.
- The iPhone 12 is just as it had been leaked: it enjoys a new drawing of straighter lines (in the style of the iPad Pro) and is available in several colors to choose with new additions: white, black, red, mint green and blue.
- It is 11% thinner, 15% smaller and 16% lighter. In addition to being more resistant thanks to its new Ceramic Shield finish.
- Enjoy a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR screen and it comes with A14 Bionic processor that is, as you can imagine, fast, very fast – it is the first smartphone chip made with a 5-nanometer process.
- Photography on the iPhone is key and in this generation it was not going to be less. We have new computational photography features and two sensors : a 12 MP (f / 1.6) main camera and a 12MP (f / 2.4) wide-angle camera with a 120º range.
- Do you like the Night Mode ? Well, you will have it in all the cameras of the iPhone: rear and front!
- Hello (again) MagSafe ! Apple has decided to introduce this technology in the iPhone 12 that will provide a better wireless charging experience and a new ecosystem of accessories that connect to the phone.
- Yes, including new very particular covers.
- After a James Bond acting, Agent 007, Apple has let us know its other little open secret: the iPhone 12 mini .
- 5.4 inches, Super Retina XDR screen, Ceramic Shield and A14 Bionic processor. It lacks nothing . Not even having 5G, the MagSafe and even the same camera system as its brother. Only in “pocket” format
- And how about the prices? The iPhone 12 starts from 909 euros and the iPhone 12 mini from 809 euros. The first can be booked from October 16 (in three days!), Being available on the 23rd. The mini will not be for reservation until November 6, with availability on the 13th.
- The “new era of iPhones” (as Tim Cook has repeated several times) does not end here. We also have, of course, an iPhone 12 Pro and an iPhone 12 Pro Max variant.
- The phones enjoy “premium” materials in chrome colors without forgetting the Ceramic Shield finish and the addition of glass to their set (matte in the case of the iPhone 12 Pro).
- The Super Retina XDR screen is 6.1 inches , in the case of the iPhone 12 Pro, and 6.7 inches (the largest ever released by Apple, eye), for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. They are 2,532 x 1,170 (460 dpi) and 2,778 x 1,284 pixels (458 dpi), respectively, and enjoy 1200 nits of maximum brightness.
- Ah! And they come with A14 Bionic processor (it would be missing more).
- As for the photographic system , there are now 3 sensors: telephoto, angular and ultra wide angle, all 12 MP. There is an 87% improvement in terms of light capture, optical image stabilization, and 4K recording with HDR support.
- But the Max goes one step further : the telephoto lens is less bright but offers a zoom greater than 5x (4x in the “normal” Pro); the digital zoom is in addition to 12 increases while it stays at 10X in the Pro; and its wide angle includes optical stabilization by sensor displacement.
- Nor does he forget about LiDAR technology, which will serve as an accessory tool to improve the captures in certain photos.
- This Friday 16 will be available to reserve the iPhone 12 Pro (being available on the 23rd) while the iPhone 12 Pro Max can be reserved from November 6, being available from the 13th. Its prices will be 1,159 euros and 1,259 euros, respectively.
- The new line of official iPhones is as follows: iPhone SE, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 (with mini version) and iPhone 12 Pro (with max version). Which one do you prefer?
