It is that time of the year again. Time when Apple fans world-over wait with baited breath about what their God of technology will announce. Every year in fall, the Cupertino Company holds a media event to announce next generation of their hugely popular devices and sometime introduces brand new technology as well. The event this year- dubbed as ‘Hey, Siri” was held at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California on 9th September.
While I am not necessarily an Apple fan, the event is too large for any technology enthusiast to ignore. So without further ado, let’s move on what got announced at the event this year. Throughout the year, the tech industry has been abuzz with rumours of what Apple is going to unveil. Many of those rumours did come true. The world got iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus as expected. The rumours about Apple TV and iPad Pro also turned out to be spot on. Apple also announced iOS 9, improved touch technologies and new Watch bands.
iPhone 6s and 6s Plus
While the new phones look exactly like the previous generation and even are priced the same, Apple claims they are completely different internally. The phones have a brand new A9 64-bit processor, new 12MP rear camera with iSight sensor, new 5MP FaceTime front camera with True Tone Flash technology. Phones also support 4K videos. A new feature called Live Photos captures a short sequence of still images. Force Touch technology also comes to iPhone from MacBook with 3D Touch.
In the next instalment of TechMate, we will talk about other Apple announcements.
