00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.583
(bouncy music)

2
00:00:03.710 --> 00:00:06.170
- This is Philip Tracy,
senior reporter at Gizmodo

3
00:00:06.170 --> 00:00:07.430
and I'm exhausted.

4
00:00:07.430 --> 00:00:08.880
That's because Apple just wrapped up

5
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.800
its big peak performance event,

6
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.120
and in it, it left us
with a bunch of surprises,

7
00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:14.920
including the reveal of a component

8
00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:17.020
that nobody ever really anticipated.

9
00:00:17.020 --> 00:00:18.890
So, Apple revealed a new iPhone SE,

10
00:00:18.890 --> 00:00:22.740
which has an A15 Bionic
Chip and 5G Support.

11
00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:24.160
So, you get faster performance

12
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.070
and the latest connectivity suites.

13
00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:27.430
It also has an upgraded camera,

14
00:00:27.430 --> 00:00:29.230
which uses computational photography,

15
00:00:29.230 --> 00:00:31.980
much like Apple's much more
expensive flagship phones.

16
00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:34.540
Everything else about the device
though is a bit antiquated.

17
00:00:34.540 --> 00:00:35.700
The design is the same

18
00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:37.650
and still has a home button on the front,

19
00:00:37.650 --> 00:00:40.110
and the screen is only 4.7 inches big.

20
00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:41.950
We also got new iPad Air,

21
00:00:41.950 --> 00:00:44.230
which was updated with an M1 Processor

22
00:00:44.230 --> 00:00:47.050
instead of the A15 Bionic Chip
some people were expecting.

23
00:00:47.050 --> 00:00:49.160
That means Apple's mid-tier tablet

24
00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:51.540
should now be about as fast

25
00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:53.820
as the much more expensive iPad Pro.

26
00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:55.240
So now, let's move on to things

27
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:56.950
that really caught us by surprise.

28
00:00:56.950 --> 00:00:59.050
The M1 Ultra Chip.

29
00:00:59.050 --> 00:01:02.370
So, Apple released its
most powerful chip ever.

30
00:01:02.370 --> 00:01:04.240
Go straight to the top of the stack,

31
00:01:04.240 --> 00:01:06.950
two M1 Maxs put together essentially,

32
00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:08.260
for double the performance.

33
00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:11.320
And Apple claims that it's
about eight times faster

34
00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:14.367
than the M1 Chip in the MacBook
Air and 13 inch MacBook Pro.

35
00:01:14.367 --> 00:01:17.280
And the company made some
pretty staggering claims

36
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.540
about the chip, which has 20-cores,

37
00:01:19.540 --> 00:01:21.640
16 of which are performance cores,

38
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.600
four which are high efficiency cores,

39
00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:26.050
and it has a 64-core GPU.

40
00:01:26.050 --> 00:01:29.440
Apple said that the M1 Ultra is 90% faster

41
00:01:29.440 --> 00:01:31.800
than the 16-core desktop PC,

42
00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:34.090
while using a 100 Watts less power.

43
00:01:34.090 --> 00:01:38.240
It also supports up to 128
Gigabytes of unified RAM.

44
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:40.930
So, now Apple has a new flagship chip,

45
00:01:40.930 --> 00:01:42.300
what about a device to use it?

46
00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:44.350
After revealing the M1 Ultra,

47
00:01:44.350 --> 00:01:47.360
the company brought on
stage the new Mac Studio.

48
00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:49.760
We went into this event
thinking that Apple would reveal

49
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:54.080
a new high end Mac mini or
even a lower end Mac Pro,

50
00:01:54.080 --> 00:01:56.410
and that's essentially where
the Mac Studio fits in.

51
00:01:56.410 --> 00:01:58.360
Its sizes closer to the Mac mini.

52
00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:01.380
It's larger, but with a square
footprint of 7.7 inches,

53
00:02:01.380 --> 00:02:03.100
it's still quite compact,

54
00:02:03.100 --> 00:02:05.530
but its performance is
more like the Mac Pro.

55
00:02:05.530 --> 00:02:09.330
In fact it's actually probably
faster than the Mac Pro,

56
00:02:09.330 --> 00:02:12.230
at least when using the M1 Ultra Chip.

57
00:02:12.230 --> 00:02:14.260
It can be configured
with either the M1 Max

58
00:02:14.260 --> 00:02:16.150
or M1 Ultra processors.

59
00:02:16.150 --> 00:02:18.060
It gets up to 120 gigabytes of RAM

60
00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:19.620
when you choose the M1 Ultra,

61
00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:22.140
and up to eight terabytes of SSD storage.

62
00:02:22.140 --> 00:02:25.090
Apple says that the Mac
Studio with the M1 Ultra

63
00:02:25.090 --> 00:02:28.260
is 3.8 times faster than the 27-inch iMac

64
00:02:28.260 --> 00:02:31.160
and 60% faster than the Mac Pro,

65
00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:33.830
with a 28-core Intel Xeon processor.

66
00:02:33.830 --> 00:02:35.680
In terms of ports, it has six USB-Cs,

67
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:40.180
a full size SD card slot,
an HDMI, an Ethernet,

68
00:02:40.180 --> 00:02:43.890
two USB-As and a high impedance
headphone and mic jack.

69
00:02:43.890 --> 00:02:46.430
So, now you have your
desktop, you need a monitor,

70
00:02:46.430 --> 00:02:49.100
so Apple revealed the Studio Display.

71
00:02:49.100 --> 00:02:51.330
A 27-inch 5K monitor,

72
00:02:51.330 --> 00:02:53.390
that gets up to 600 nits of brightness

73
00:02:53.390 --> 00:02:55.370
and offers full P3 color gamut.

74
00:02:55.370 --> 00:02:58.370
Built in, are six
speakers, four USB-C ports,

75
00:02:58.370 --> 00:03:00.960
one of which is a
Thunderbolt 3 for charging.

76
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.750
There's also a 12 Megapixel
webcam with center stage,

77
00:03:03.750 --> 00:03:06.120
which keeps users
centered within the frame,

78
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.300
or will zoom out if another participant

79
00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:09.310
walks into the frame.

80
00:03:09.310 --> 00:03:11.900
So, all these devices are
actually quite exciting,

81
00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:14.830
but we need to talk about pricing first,

82
00:03:14.830 --> 00:03:17.310
before you start adding
things to your cart.

83
00:03:17.310 --> 00:03:18.940
So, there's some good
here and there's some bad.

84
00:03:18.940 --> 00:03:21.930
The iPhone SE costs $430,

85
00:03:21.930 --> 00:03:24.600
which is only $30 more
than the previous model.

86
00:03:24.600 --> 00:03:26.310
And those 5G bonus are pretty expensive.

87
00:03:26.310 --> 00:03:28.560
So, that price hike isn't too bad.

88
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.730
Then there's the iPad Air,
which still costs 599.

89
00:03:31.730 --> 00:03:34.330
So, even though it gets
upgraded with the M1 processor,

90
00:03:34.330 --> 00:03:36.200
it won't cost any more
than the previous model.

91
00:03:36.200 --> 00:03:37.410
So, that's the good news.

92
00:03:37.410 --> 00:03:39.470
The bad news is that the Mac Studio

93
00:03:39.470 --> 00:03:43.640
starts at 1999 when configured
with the M1 Max Chip,

94
00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:46.460
and it can go up to $8,000,

95
00:03:46.460 --> 00:03:48.500
when you put in the M1 Ultra,

96
00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:50.830
the crazy 128 Gigabytes of RAM

97
00:03:50.830 --> 00:03:52.380
and the eight Terabytes of storage.

98
00:03:52.380 --> 00:03:54.930
And if you wanna pair it
with that new monitor,

99
00:03:54.930 --> 00:03:56.370
the Studio Display,

100
00:03:56.370 --> 00:03:59.022
you'll have to spend
another 1599 on the monitor

101
00:03:59.022 --> 00:04:01.620
or 1899, if you want
the Non-Textured glass,

102
00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:03.680
which is meant to minimize glare.

103
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.700
All of these devices
can be pre-ordered today

104
00:04:05.700 --> 00:04:08.441
and are available on March 18th.

105
00:04:08.441 --> 00:04:11.024
