On these new high end iPad Pros, we're moving to USB-C. With USB-C you can connect to data accessories and displays at the same time. We also now support charging out over USB-C, so you can charge your iPhone on the go.

The Apple Pencil has been one of the biggest game changers for the iPad Pro. With these new iPad Pros, the 2nd generation Pencil has been redesigned. It attaches magnetically, and automatically pairs, and charges wirelessly. Because it's always charging, it's always ready. Tapping the pencil will wake it and open Notes, so it's always ready to go.

The Smart Keyboard Folio is now magnetically charging, protects front and back, with two screen angles, for lap and desk. On it's own, the iPad is the most personal and powerful tool for all the things you do most. Add Pencil, it becomes a sketchbook. Add keyboard, and becomes a typing tool. Add a display, and it becomes an editing tool. iPad is the best device ever created for AR.

by victormarks 10/30/2018 2:58:15 PM
new iPad Pros are packed with our most advanced technology, four speaker audio, with woofer and tweeter pairs, Gigabit Class LTE, eSim technology, and again, the new Apple Pencil, Smart Keyboard Folio, and USB-C.

Now talking about iPad apps.

by victormarks 10/30/2018 2:59:37 PM
Shawn Pruden is talking about ProCreate, Notability, or Mopholio Trace for architectural drawings. Autodesk is bringing the desktop engine of AutoCAD to the iPad, with performance as fast as the fastest PCs.

Assassin's Creed Rebellion, a console game coming to the iPad. Running at 120fps, something no console can deliver.

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:00:59 PM
Djay Pro is used by hundreds of DJs around the world. Algoriddim is using CoreML to deliver beatmatching unprecedented in a mobile device.

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:01:38 PM
Now watching a demo - even the fans are rendered in high resolution.

What's a console? - VM

NBA 2k mobile. Turning to creativity, Adobe showing the future of creativity. VP of design Jamie Myrold is here.

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:05:40 PM
At Adobe the future of creativity extends beyond the desktop, wherever and whenever inspiration strikes. Today, we're super excited to show Photoshop and Arrow taking advantage of the breakthrough iPad Pro. Chantal is using "The Real Photoshop" with Pencil

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:06:50 PM
by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:07:14 PM
This is Photoshop, reimagined for touch.

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:08:16 PM
It's a real PSD, same as on the desktop, 3GB in size, 157 layers, and I'm zooming through it, no lag. This is thanks to the new iPad Pro with 8 cores of pure power.

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:09:01 PM
by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:09:04 PM
This piece is 9 feet by 9 feet when printed. With Project Arrow, you can step into the forest. Myrold demos that same PSD in Arrow with space between the layers, bringing in interactive animated butterflies.

John is back out now.

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:12:30 PM

Tim: "These are the most exciting iPads we have ever created. It doesn't just change the way we think about iPad, it changes the way we think about computers."

"Before we close out, I have one quick update. iOS 12 is off to an unbelievable start. IT's been installed on more devices than any version of iOS ever. An amazing 60% of iOS devices are already running iOS 12. Today, we're shipping iOS 12.1, which includes group Facetime for up to 32 friends simultaneously" includes eSIM and new emojis.

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:18:25 PM
What a huge morning. The all new MacBook Air, thinner, and lighter with the retina display. The new Mac mini is the most versatile Mac mini ever. And the incredible new iPad Pro, with the A12X Bionic, the most powerful chip we've ever created.

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:19:20 PM
"At Apple, we love how people use our products to create truly wonderful things to put them out there in the world. This has been our mission from the beginning, to push the human race forward. And it's such a great honor to be a part of what people create everyday all around the world."

What better way to celebrate that than with a performance by Lana Del Rey. "They told us not to swear. I can't tell you the name of the upcoming record"

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:21:20 PM
by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:22:04 PM
She sings "How to Disappear" from their latest record.

The record is named "Norman Fucking Rockwell" - VM

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:23:23 PM
John met me down on the boulevard
Cry on his shoulder 'cause life is hard
The waves came in over my head
Whatcha' been up to, my baby?
Haven't seen you 'round here lately
All of the guys tell me lies, but you don't
You just crack another beer
And pretend that you're still here

[Chorus]
This is how to disappear
This is how to disappear

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:24:09 PM
by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:24:34 PM
She can't say the name of the second track, also because of swearing. "Let's just call it 'Venice'"

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:25:33 PM
Lana Del Ray playing at the Apple event. Said she was told not to swear on stage 😂

by danieleran 10/30/2018 3:26:24 PM
The song she's singing now is really titled "Venice Bitch" - VM

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:26:30 PM
Fear fun, fear love
Fresh out of fucks, forever
Tryin' to be stronger for you
Ice cream, ice queen
I dream in jeans and leather
Life's dream, I'm sweet for you
[Chorus]
Oh God, miss you on my lips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Callin' out, bang bang, kiss kiss

She sings Fun and Chick instead of her original lyrics quoted above.

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:28:05 PM
Tim comes out and says "You were unbelievable!"
Lana says, "I'm so nervous,"
"No, I'm the one that's nervous, you were great!"

by victormarks 10/30/2018 3:29:28 PM
"I'd like to thank everyone for joining us today, everyone who's watching us online, and everyone at Apple who makes this and every day possible."

OK, time to go to the hands-on area.

"Thanks again, I may see you in your neighborhood!" Tim is out.
