I expect the boss to be interested in =he Apple TV most. Update releases iOS 9 & Watch OS = are available on Wednesday, September 16th. OS X 10.11 "El Capitan*=9D is available on September 30th. I'll want you & Bella to =ait on upgrading the iMacs for a couple months. Your iPhones can be =pgraded, tho (I'd suggest waiting a couple weeks, but =nderstand if you opt not to wait). I think I =eed to upgrade Darren, Bebe and Lesley's computers to OS X =0.10 Yosemite still iO5 9 • Predictive interface (if you go for = run around the same time everyday it will suggest the playlist you =sually listen to) • Transit maps to the major cities =finally) • News app, aggregates articles from news =ources you choose • Notes revamp (now includes images, =o dos, checklists, etc.) • Split screen view and =icture in picture on (most) iPads for running 2 apps at =nce EFTA_R1_01368118 EFTA02368804 OS X 10.11 / El Capitan • Bug fixes. Not as =any as I'd like, but hopefully more than I expect. • Split screen view (like the iPad) • When you =iggle your cursor it gets huge so you can find it • Swipe gestures in Mail.app (for those of us that use =rackpads) • Same Notes enhancements from iOS 9 • Pinned sites in Safari • Performance =mprovements ("Metal" graphics engine, =tc.) Apple =atch New colors in the low-end Sports model =yellow gold & rose gold), new band colors. Nothing I'd =xpect to convince a watch fence-sitter to jump. The Hermes =ditions ( http://www.apple.com/apple-watch-hermes/ ) are =nteresting, tho... true high fashion band designs with tie-ins to =he interface (custom watch faces, etc.) iPhone 65 / iPhone =5+ Preorders start on Saturday, September =2th, shipping September 25th. " Still the same sizes, I don't foresee that changing =n the near future. • The big change is "3D=Touch" — their new name for "Force Touch"=that was introduced on the new MacBook & Apple Watch — =hich enables shortcut like functionality on the phone interface. =asically these are power- user features, shortcuts to do common tasks =aster. • 12 Megapixel Rear Camera, means the images =re now 50% larger than all the previous iPhone photos. • S Megapixel Front Camera is a major improvement from the =revious 1.5 MP camera. They're now officially calling it a =E24*Selfie" camera, which I find =cupid. iPad Pro A 12.9"=(diagonal) display in an iPad that is slightly thicker than the =xisting iPad Air, and weighs the same as the first generation iPad. =hile this would be great for watching movies, it's clearly =argeted more towards content-creation (digital sketchpad!) over =ontent-consumption. iPad Mini 4 All of the =pecs of the iPad Air 2, now at half the size (and 3/4 the =rice). Apple TV Available at the end of =ctober starting at $149 (US) for a 32GB model and $199 (US) for a 64GB =odel • New bluetooth remote (we should buy =xtras to have on hand for the ones that get lost), with a touch pad top =nd microphone for Siri and IR to turn on TVs, etc. charges via =ightening port. • Siri content search across iTunes, =etflix, Hulu, HBO and Showtime • AppStore for new =hannels and games • 1/2 inch taller than existing =pple TV, * No optical audio out... audio =ut is via the HDMI port. 2 EFTA_R1_01368119 EFTA02368805 Not announced... We'll =ee retina 21" iMacs and probably new MacBook Airs this =all. We =robably WON'T see new 27" iMacs or MacBook Pros until =pring. Intel has delayed the shipping of the new CPUs for these =achines. James Ce your Personal Genius • Certified Support Professional 10.6 http://personalgenius.us 3 EFTA_R1_01368120 EFTA02368806
