Check out what Apple’s new iOS 15 can do


for many of us are, Iphone has become indispensable and at the heart of iphone is Iowa. I always powers experiences. We've come to rely on this year. We were inspired to create even more meaningful ways Iphone could help you. New release is Iowa's 15. It's packed with features that make the Iowa's experience adapt to and complement the way you use iPhone. So this year we've set out to make facetime calls feel more natural, comfortable and lifelike. First, it's a feature that makes facetime calls sound like you're sitting in the very same room. We're bringing spatial audio to face time, creating a sound field that helps conversations flow as easily as they do face to face. Now your friends voices are spread out to sound like they're coming from the direction in which their position on the video call. Making your calls more comfortable and more natural. Next let's talk about two powerful new options for your microphone. The first is voice isolation. When you're on a facetime call, your mic is picking up a cacophony of sound. So invoice isolation, machine learning distinguishes these sounds, blocks out the ambient noise and prioritizes your voice so that it comes through crystal clear. Check it out. I wish I could be there. Me Who Let me fix this better. Right. Yeah, she wanted for her birthday. Uh huh. Sometimes though we want every bit of sound to come through and that's when you switch to wide spectrum in wide spectrum you might picks up an entire symphonies worth of sound, your voice and everything around you. Next help you schedule your facetime calls. We've created based time links. Now you can generate a link for a facetime call and share it anywhere. It's a terrific way to plan ahead for a call. You can send the facetime link in places like messages, email WhatsApp or jump into calendar and make an event for your facetime call. So everyone will know exactly where to meet and when. And it's not just apple devices that can use the facetime link to join your call. Your friends with android and Windows devices can use your facetime linked to join the call right from their browser. We love enjoying shared experiences and so we built share play, share plate is a powerful new set of features for shared experiences that you can enjoy when you're on a facetime call. We share play. You can bring music into your call for a shared listening experience unlike any other watch movies and tv shows while having rich real time connection with your friends and share your screen, giving you limitless possibilities for bringing apps right into your face time calls. Not only does Iowa's give you space to focus. It also uses intelligence to elevate your experience, helping you discover more in your photos, quickly find what you're looking for. And even relive special moments. Let's get started with a feature we call live text today. Our photos are full of rich and useful information from photos of places we visit to handwritten notes of family recipes and now live text unlocks this information in a way that's really natural. It starts with the camera. Let me show you. Let's say I just finished a meeting with the team and I want to capture my notes from the white board. I can now just point the camera at the white board and an indicator appears here in the lower right. When I tap it, the text just jumps right out. I can use my normal text selection gestures. Just drag and copy now. I can switch over to mail and paste those in and then send this off to Tim. Here's a photo of a friend. You may notice that here at the top there's some text now I can just select it like this and I have the option to use a look up to find out more about this restaurant and even look up its location. Oh and here's a picture from a friend. Now you may notice here in the background is a phone number. I can just zoom in and with live text it's recognized with a link. I can just tap it and give this place a call just like that with the apple wallet app, we set out to replace your physical wallet. Starting with Apple Pay we added payment cards to make payments safer and more secure. Next we brought transit cars with express mode to your iphone. You just breathe through the turnstiles in san Francisco, new york, Beijing Tokyo and more and just recently walt Disney world added their park passes, creating magical moments as you talk to enter, ride and explore. You can never leave home without your keys. So we're continuing to add keys to wallet and making them even better. We started with car keys which were improving with ultra wideband support for an unlocked and drive experience. No need to take your iphone out of your bag or pocket. BMW and others will ship cars with you WB. Starting later this year with IOS 15, we're bringing keys for your everyday places to wallet. Starting with where you live, we're creating the fastest, most secure way to unlock your house, apartment or flat and where you work, just add your corporate badge and tap to enter your building or office and where you travel with hotel keys, you'll automatically receive your key when your room is ready. Even before you arrive at the hotel starting this fall, Hyatt Hotels will start rolling this out to over 1000 properties worldwide, creating a faster and safer experience for their guests anywhere you go, just tap to unlock an incredible range of partners for locks and access systems have signed on to support keys for all the places you go. However, to be fully free of your physical wallet, there's one more thing we need to bring to iphone and that's your I. D. So we're bringing identity cards to Apple wallet. This fall you'll just scan your driver's license or state ID in participating U. S. States. It's that easy. Your idea information is now in wallet encrypted and safely stored in the secure element. The same hardware technology that makes Apple pay private and secure. And the PSA is working to enable airport security checkpoints as the first place you can use your digital ID. When you present your idea, you'll know what specific information is requested and securely presented with just a tap your off to your flight. I think this.
