Apple's October premiere: iMac Retina, Mac mini, two ipads and more

Today Apple told that millions of people around the world will be found under the trees this year. The list of gifts included: iMac with a retina, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3 (however, older generations also have a chance to get under the tree, because their prices have fallen) and Mac mini. And also showed OS X Yosemite, WiFi Direct AirPlay and iOS 8.1.



For me, the event began with a friendly inscription:


')
- therefore, I will follow the TechCrunch report , as far as possible, arranging the information and adding my own awkward remarks. The presentation as a whole passed without surprises: iMac with a retina, the new Mac mini and OS X Yosemite were quite expected. And iPad mini 3 and iPad Air 2 completely leaked to the Internet the day before.

First, about current affairs.


The new Apple logo for the Chinese market (actually not):



Tim Cook simply says that iPhones in the Middle Kingdom will be sold immediately by all three local mobile networks, and the volume of pre-orders is already amazing.

Apple Pay got another 500 new banks and many retailers as partners.

Apple ruler:



Judging by the fact that they show the old iMac, the design of the new one will not change - only the retina will be added, and the insides will be updated (probably). An hour later: it happened.

Minute developer: the latest two versions of iOS are used by 94% of users, whereas in the camp of Android there is complete disorder and vacillation. In general, writing applications for iOS is easier and more enjoyable:



SDK for Apple Watch will appear in November, and the clock itself - somewhere in early 2015. A lot of time to write your applications.





Tim Cook shows bitsuha:



iOS 8.1


Monday C:



In Habratwiter burned the icon Habra on the screen in Cupertino:



Find and you. If you find in less than 13 seconds, then you enter the 2% of the smartest people on Earth (not 100% info).

OS X Yosemite


Yosemite will be available today:



Traditional image about JavaScript processing speed in Safari:







This screenshot of Safari caused an ecstasy among fans of the Yandex browser :



WiFi Direct AirPlay


Direct transmission via Wi-Fi AirPlay is Intel's WiDi competitor (which, for example, in my home, did not work as well). Connects Apple and Apple TV devices to one network, allowing you to transfer data over the air at the speed of Wi-Fi.



Security enhancements


Apple apparently decided to comment on regular plums.





Called the popular comedian host Stephen Colbert.


"Chief of secrecy"

The security protocol inside Apple includes a secret handshake:





(Gandalf from The Fellowship of the Ring remembered: Keep it secret. Keep it safe.)

iPad Air 2


In response to the talk that sales of iPad are falling, Cook began by saying that they sold 225 million tablets in 4 years - more than any other product of all time (even iPhones and iPods? Need to be checked).

iPad Air 2 - the thinnest tablet in the world, 6.1 mm.



A8X chip, motion sensor, barometer, anti-glare screen and TouchID.



If I'm not confusing anything, Android just yesterday announced support for 64-bit architecture. Apple is already the second generation of 64-bit processors



The processor is faster than 40%, graphics are 2.5 times more powerful.

Many words about the camera (8 megapixels) and beautiful photos on the screen, taken on a new iPad. With your permission, I will not copy them here, but rather tell a joke:

One photographer, being invited to a party, grabbed a few of his pictures in order to show them to the guests on occasion.
The hostess, seeing the pictures exclaimed:
- What are amazing pictures! You seem to have a very expensive camera!
The photographer did not answer her anything, but saying goodbye at the end of the evening he said
- Thanks, dinner was cooked great! You probably have very good pots!

The camera can shoot video at a frequency of 120 frames per second at a resolution of 720p - if you play them at normal speed, you will get a fivefold slowdown in time - a slimeo ie

Wi-Fi 802.11ac accelerates to 150 Mb / s (it means the files on AirPlay will not slow down even if you broadcast a 50-gig 3D movie) and supports 20 LTE bands.

Apple Pay is only for online payments - there is no NFC, which means it’s useless to put your iPad to the checkout in the store.

Super-cool movie-making, music and video editing applications:



Thanks to direct access to the video card, they promise super-fast rendering.


iPad mini 3


The golden color of the case appeared (I have no idea why this is so important, but in every insider about the new iPads there was necessarily something about the golden color):


Fish of my dreams!

The display is 7.9 inches and the same buns as the large iPad.


Pre-order from tomorrow, shipping from next week.

Previous generations of tablets have traditionally fallen in price:



iMac with retina


Wat So Wat:



27 inches, 5120x2880. Apple calls this “retina 5K display”. 7 times more pixels than FullHD. About the price already scary to think.



The traditional tricky picture, announcing that the thickness of the aimag will be five millimeters. At the edge:



And here are the prices:





A dollar exchange rate of 40 rubles each means that prices for a new aimak now start at around 100 thousand rubles - thanks to Putin for that.

Delivery from today.

Mac mini


The most long-awaited update: Mac mini. Outwardly, no surprises:



The minimum price has dropped as much as $ 499. The threshold of entry into the kingdom of poppies has never been so low - buy an iphone and that is more expensive. It is already possible to order.

Well that's all. New ipads and aimak with retina - as predicted, the new Mac mini - as hoped, and even better, because it is super cheap. The 13-inch iPad hasn’t happened yet, but the new Macbook Air hasn’t been shown, so Microsoft will be trolling the ultrabook niche with its “Surface” while alone.

The store has already opened: store.apple.com/ru
