“We believe strongly that we have a responsibility to help you protect your data and protect your privacy,” he said. “We will not shrink from that responsibility.” Apple CEO Tim Cook kicked off the announcement with a brief statement about its ongoing battle against the FBI regarding the San Bernardino iPhone case. What ensued was the launch of a micro iPhone ( called iPhone SE of 4 inches ) – With Apple’s vaunted A9 chip, which is supposedly much faster than Apple’s previous attempt at an entry-level phone, launched in 2013.
Like the iPhone 6s, the iPhone SE will be able to take pictures at 12 megapixels. It will also work with Apple Pay, the company’s digital wallet. The phone will come in four colour options- silver, gold, space grey and rose gold.
And then came the much anticipated iOS update – 9.3. And the coolest features are here:
A. NightShift For Your Eyes Only :
It uses geolocation to identify where you are (and what time of day it is), and automatically alters your screen’s color temperature. At night, the screen will appear ‘warmer’ with yellows, and back to normal as night gives way to sunshine.
B. News And Notes For The Busy You :
The News app is getting a new algorithm that surfaces content Apple thinks you’ll enjoy more. Videos will play directly in a feed, and the iPhone version of Notes is now viewable in landscape mode. Apple also says News will update much faster when you start the app, too.
C. Health Concerns Addressed :
Health will also show your ring goals from the Apple Watch in a graph format.
D. Learn And Grow With Education :
Teachers can also glance at screens with a tap using the Classroom app, so they can get a better idea of how students are finding information. Educators can also launch apps to students’ devices, and lock those devices into an app to keep kids focused.
