7:03 p.m.
Tim takes the stage and greets the audience.
Got some extra rest for today’s event. Slept in ’til 4:30. I set my clock back an hour. Where is everybody? #AppleLive YBC my A ! ORYOX/live/2015-mar-…pic.twitter.com/swcnMZRiF1 Getting psyched backstage listening to I Lived by @OneRepublic. 7:03 p.m. Tim takes the stage and greets the audience. And it’s not to be missed. In other words, Apple 目前已在中国开设了 21 家 Apple Store 零售店,而计划还将不断增长。 7:05 p.m. There are now 453 Apple Retail Stores. In 16 countries. With over 120 million visitors in the last quarter alone. It’s $14.99 a month. And for a limited time, the first month is free if you sign up on your Apple TV, iPad, or iPhone. 7:12 p.m. Over 25 million people use Apple TV for movies, TV shows, music, and more. 7:12 p.m. It’s just the beginning of many changes coming to the world of television. “iPhone not only created a category, it created a benchmark by which all other smartphones are measured.” – Tim Cook 7:13 p.m. iPhone launched in June 2007. Over 700 million have been sold since then. And last quarter, it was the #1 selling smartphone in the world. 7:13 p.m. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have a 99% customer satisfaction rate. Customers simply ❤️❤️ them. “Apple Pay has forever changed the way we pay for things.” – Tim Cook 7:14 p.m. Apple Pay works with over 2500 banks. And all 10 of your fingers. 7:14 p.m. No more uncrumpling dollar bills. There are now hundreds of thousands of vending machines accepting Apple Pay, including more than 40,000 Coca-Cola vending machines. 7:15 p.m. Every major car brand is committed to delivering CarPlay. 7:16 p.m. HomeKit is changing how people control the devices in their homes. 7:16 p.m. One of the most important areas iPhone is having an impact on is personal health. 7:18 p.m. For all the amazing breakthroughs medical researchers have made, they still face big challenges. 7:18 p.m. Finding volunteers for medical studies has always been tough. And low participation can make understanding a disease more difficult. 7:18 p.m. Another challenge is subjective data, like when patients rate their pain on a scale from 1 to 10. 7:18 p.m. Also, data often travels only one way — from participant to researcher. That’s a missed opportunity for patients to learn more about their own health. 7:18 p.m. Sometimes researchers see patients only once a quarter, making it difficult to get a complete picture of their health. And hundreds of millions of people already have iPhone in their pockets. 7:20 p.m. With ResearchKit, iPhone and HealthKit become amazing research tools. 7:20 p.m. Now researchers can easily create apps that will change the way they work. 7:20 p.m. The University of Rochester and Sage Bionetworks created mPower, an app using ResearchKit to conduct Parkinson’s disease research. 7:24 p.m. You decide whether to participate. You decide how your data is shared. You can see the data you’re sharing. 7:24 p.m. Jeff Williams introduces a film about the work already being done with ResearchKit. “ResearchKit is a framework that enables medical researchers to more easily design the apps they’re going to use for clinical studies.” – Stephen Friend, MD, PhD, Apple “To think that this device that you use to check your mail can be used to battle disease is simply amazing.” – Mike O’Reilly, MD, Apple 7:29 p.m. ResearchKit will be available next month. And it’s important for everyone to have access — so it will be open source. In fact, Mac has been outpacing the PC industry for 10 years. 7:32 p.m. Everything Apple has learned from designing iPhone and iPad has led to something very ambitious — reinventing the notebook. The full-size Mac experience in its thinnest and lightest form ever. This is the most precisely engineered product Apple has ever made. MacBook looks just as beautiful in the dark as it does in the light. It packs over 3 million pixels into the thinnest Mac Retina display yet. 7:37 p.m. Every single pixel has been reengineered to let more light through. So the Retina display uses 30% less energy to produce the same brightness as other Mac Retina displays. 7:39 p.m. The Taptic Engine produces tactile feedback, so you don’t just see what’s happening on the screen — you feel it, too. 7:39 p.m. You can adjust the sensitivity of the trackpad to decide how much pressure it takes to click. You can click anywhere. And clicks are quieter. 7:39 p.m. Force clicks add new shortcuts to apps you use every day. All by just pressing down on the trackpad after you click. Not only does this save space, but it also allows the new MacBook to run in silence. 7:42 p.m. The Intel Core M processor runs on just 5 watts. The enclosure and the terraced, contoured battery were designed together for the perfect fit. The latest wireless technologies, along with Apple software and services, keep you connected to everything. Yet tethered to nothing. This new connectivity standard gives you power, USB data transfer, DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA capabilities. According to the EPA.1 7:47 p.m. Phil plays a film detailing the design and features of the new MacBook. “The new MacBook is the result of a collective obsession to simplify its essential components and create the most efficient design possible.” – Jony Ive It’s remarkably thin, yet comfortable to use. So MacBook operates in complete silence. “We set a new standard for portability while enhancing its fundamental components, to deliver what we believe is the best MacBook yet.” – Jony Ive 7:52 p.m. A second configuration for $1599 features the 12-inch Retina display, 1.2GHz Intel Core M, Intel HD Graphics 5300, 8GB memory, and 512GB of flash storage. It now has fifth-generation Intel Core processors and Thunderbolt 2. And it’s available today. It’s available today. 7:53 p.m. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display now has fifth-generation Intel Core processors. 2x faster flash storage. And up to 10 hours of battery life. MacBook Air. MacBook Pro. And the new MacBook. Because what you wear is an expression of who you are. Stainless steel cases in two beautiful finishes — traditional and space black. Anodized aluminum cases in silver or space gray. 18-karat gold cases in yellow or rose. 7:55 p.m. It’s the most advanced timepiece ever created. A device that will revolutionize how you connect with others. And a comprehensive health and fitness companion. Answer right on Apple Watch using the built-in speaker and mic — and make phone calls, too. A simple three-ring graphic provides a snapshot of your all-day activity. She’s a model, mother, and maternal health advocate. 8:03 p.m. Tim plays a film about Christy Turlington Burns running a half-marathon in Tanzania with Apple Watch. 8:03 p.m. Many women must travel long distances to get obstetric care. Christy Turlington Burns founded the nonprofit Every Mother Counts to make childbirth safer for them and for all mothers. “In the short time I’ve been using it, I can already see how this is going to be an important part of my life.” – Christy Turlington Burns Starting today, you can follow her progress on ORYOX. Open an app, get directions, make a phone call, and more. You’ll also get a notification when your car is arriving. The app is how you set up Apple Watch and choose which notifications to receive. This is where you can learn more about Apple Watch before you get one. During a typical day, you can expect up to 18 hours of battery life. Apple Watch Sport. Apple Watch. Apple Watch Edition. 8:23 p.m. Tim plays a film about how the exceptionally pure aluminum for Apple Watch Sport is made. “We believe this aluminum alloy sets a new standard, both in the way it performs and the way it looks.” – Jony Ive 8:26 p.m. Tim plays a film about how bands and cases are meticulously crafted for Apple Watch. Each link bracelet is made from more than 140 individual parts. “With stainless steel, we’ve given a traditional material a new expression.” – Jony Ive With more countries to follow. “This is what everyone at Apple is focused on. Pushing all of our products forward. And creating a better future.” – Tim Cook Audience members begin making their way over to the adjacent Hands-on Pavilion. People head over to touch and try the latest products from Apple. A huge thank you to the talented team at Apple who make days like this possible. It’s a privilege to work along side of you. Thanks for making this a memorable day. Videos
