[MUSIC PLAYING] SPEAKER: Our new release is IOS 14. This year, we spent time rethinking some of the most iconic elements of the experience on iPhone. Now it all started here, with a carefully considered home screen that has truly stood the test of time. Of course, over the years, we kept the fundamentals largely the same, but carefully added features, like folders for organizing your apps, widgets for quick information, and personalized experiences powered by on-device intelligence that serve up just the right thing at just the right moment. It's hard to imagine iPhone without these features now. Well that brings us to this year. Let's dig in starting with the home screen. Today's home screen works great, but as we get more and more apps, we can end up with this-- lots and lots of pages. And we tend to forget what's beyond the first couple. Wouldn't it be great if there were a way to organize all of those apps without doing a thing? Well this year, we're doing just that with something called the App Library. It's a new space at the end of your home screen pages that automatically organizes all your apps in one simple and easy to navigate view. [MUSIC PLAYING] You can see that all of my apps are automatically organized here. In fact, now with the App Library, I actually don't need all those pages for all my apps. So we created an easy way to hide app pages. I just go into Jiggle mode, tap the dots at the bottom, and check this out. I get a zoomed out view of all my app pages. I can simply tap to hide the pages I no longer need. Just like that. And now with those pages hidden, App Library is always just a swipe or two away. So here in App Library, getting to the app I'm looking for is really easy. Up at the top, I have the search field. And I get all my apps organized from A to Z. Now over here on the upper left, I have suggestions. It uses on-device intelligence to show me the apps that I'm likely to need next. And on the right is recently added, giving me access to the apps that I've recently downloaded from the App Store. And below are intelligently-curated categories. So I can tap into a category, like Apple Arcade, and see all of my apps in that category. SPEAKER 2: When communicating with someone in another language, Siri can help with translations. This year, we're expanding to support many new language pairs. This is hugely popular, but we know our users want more than just translating phrases. They want to have entire conversations. And we believe conversations between languages should feel natural and easy, and have the ability to stay private. That's why we're introducing a new app called Translate. It is designed to be the best and easiest to use app for conversations. And it can work completely offline, keeping your conversations private. Using advanced on-device machine learning and the powerful neural engine, you can translate your text and voice between any combination of these 11 languages. So I could have a conversation with someone in Mandarin, and they could have a conversation with someone in Russian. Just tap on the Microphone, and say, what are your store hours? SPEAKER 3: [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] SPEAKER 2: You get back the text and audio right away. And just turn the phone to landscape to open conversation mode. We've designed a side-by-side view that's easy for two people to know which side to follow in the conversation. This mode is incredibly intuitive with just a single Microphone button because the app intelligently detects the language spoken, and shows translation on the correct side of the screen. Translate will make communicating between languages easier than ever before, connecting people in new ways. And we can't wait for you to try it. [MUSIC PLAYING]
