It’s no surprise that Apple once again is stepping up their game to a whole new level. There are so many exciting improvements to each Apple product that were just unveiled at its 2021 Keynote Event, but five things stood out to me the most. Continue reading to browse 5 Things from Apple's 2021 Keynote That Blew My Mind
Larger Apple Watch Screen and Buttons
The Apple Watch Series 7 features a 20% larger always-on retina display screen. In fact, the screen is 50% larger than series 3. Wow! Having a bigger screen alone will make it easier to navigate your watch, but there's more.
In addition to a larger screen, the Series 7 includes larger buttons and new ways to input text. The full keyboard with the QuickPath feature uses machine learning that predicts what you're typing when you slide your finger to letters. Leave your phone at home because this new Apple Watch can easily do it all.
1TB Storage on iPhone 13 Pro
Over are the days of reaching storage capacity on your iPhone. The iPhone 13 Pro is the first iPhone ever to include an option of up to 1TB of storage, which is twice as much storage as the regular iPhone 13 with 512GB as its maximum capacity.
120 Hz ProMotion Display
The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are finally bringing ProMotion display screens to iPhones. This adaptive screen works up to 120 Hz, meaning the phone's refresh rate can adapt to scrolling speed twice as fast as the standard refresh rate.
Another benefit of ProMotion is that it works great with Apple Pencil. As a result, your stylus will feel much more responsive and fluid. The key here is that it is adaptive, so your phone only uses 120Hz when necessary, saving you battery.
iPad Mini Complete Redesign
The iPad Mini is better than ever with a stunning new look and breakthrough performance. It comes in Purple, Pink, Starlight, and Space Grey with a larger 8.3-inch Liquid Retina Display.
It's mini but mighty thanks to the new A15 Bionic chip that delivers up to 80% faster performance than the previous generation. Plus, the updated front and back cameras, Center Stage, and USB-C port make it great for photography.
iPhone 13 Pro Camera
Professional photographer or not, on Sept. 24, run to your nearest Apple store because the iPhone 13 Pro camera is unlike any other smartphone camera. It features a new telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, a new ultra-wide lens that lets in more light, and a wide camera with a 2.2x improvement in low light.
But wait, there's more. The all-new Cinematic Mode has post-focus change, which means focus transitions happen automatically. It anticipates and adjusts when a subject enters the frame or when they gaze away.
