The iPhone 7 Plus will also be able to do some software tricks using those two different focal lengths. Instead, each camera has a different focal length, allowing for users to pick between shooting photos with a wide-angle or a telephoto lens.

On one hand, it makes sense that the rear camera is less important for the 12.9-inch Pro, since no one in their right mind should be holding up a 12.9-inch tablet to take photos, but on the other hand the front camera is used for video conferencing, so you'd think the 12.9-inch Pro should get some attention there.The bigger version of the iPhone 7 comes with two rear-facing cameras, but it’s not going to let you capture your favorite moments in 3D. One area where the specs differ is that the 9.7-inch Pro will actually have better cameras than the 12.9-inch Pro. The 4-speaker audio system is also included, as is a Smart Connector for a smaller Smart Keyboard. The smaller variant has nearly all of the same specs as the larger one, including an A9X processor and an updated display that supports Apple Pencil. IPad Pro The 9.7-inch display on the iPad Air 2 is still the most popular display size, which is why Apple is launching a 9.7-inch version of the iPad Pro. That's still only about 13% of the total product mix (231.5 million total iPhone unit sales last year), but the company is essentially launching an iPhone 6s in an iPhone 5s body, which may spur more demand within the 4-inch product segment. The company sold over 30 million 4-inch iPhones in 2015, showing how important this product segment still is. Interestingly, this also implies a subsidy reduction, since Apple used to get an estimated $425 per subsidized device, but the impact should be negligible since most people now use installment or leasing programs.

The device is free on contract for customers still using the subsidy model. Apple says that over half of its 4-inch iPhone customers in China were new to the platform.Īpple is also getting aggressive with wooing first-time smartphone buyers, and iPhone SE will start at $399 for a 16 GB model. Many customers choose the 4-inch model for their first smartphone, particularly in China. The smaller iPhone also serves another critical strategic purpose, since it's an entry-level device. Updating the 4-inch model in the lineup is important because not everyone wants a larger iPhone. Faster LTE and Wi-Fi connectivity are also onboard (along with more LTE bands), and Apple has added an NFC chip to support Apple Pay.

IPhone SE will get a faster A9 processor alongside an integrated M9 motion co-processor, a two-generation upgrade compared to the A7 in the 5s. iOS 9.3 brings things like Night Shift, which adjusts the display at night to make it easier to sleep, and a few other app-specific improvements. tvOS will get features like folders, Live Photos, dictation, and Siri for the App Store. Pricing on the higher-end steel and gold models is unchanged.īoth tvOS and iOS are also receiving free updates today. Most notably on the Apple Watch front, the company is reducing the starting price from $349 to $299 for the entry-level Sport models. Watch and OS updates Apple Watch is getting a few new band colors and configurations, along with a new band style made out of woven nylon, priced at $49. Apple also continues to help advance medical research with its ResearchKit, and announced a new CareKit framework as well. The company is making strong progress with environmental initiatives, and has even been devoting R&D resources to a new project called "Liam," a robot that specializes in deconstructing iPhones in order to recover a greater amount of materials and resources compared to current recycling methods.
