The biggest news in iPad since iPad.

The iPad Pro ships with an all new third-generation 64-bit A9X chip M9 motion coprocessor built into the A9X chip M9 in the iPad Pro is able to be powered on all the time, allowing for features like an always-on "Hey Siri" feature. The A9X in the iPad Pro offers 1.8 times more CPU performance than the A8X in the iPad Air 2 and double the graphics performance. The iPad Pro is also faster at CPU tasks than 80 percent of portable PCs shipped over the course of the last 12 months, and at graphics tasks, it's faster than 90 percent of portable PCs

The iPad Pro has a 12.9-inch display, which is 78 percent larger than the 9.7-inch display of the iPad Air 2. It's Apple's most advanced display yet, with a 2732 x 2048 (264 ppi) resolution. That equates to 5.6 million pixels, which is higher than any existing iOS device The Multi-Touch subsystem in the iPad Pro was designed from the ground up for the Apple Pencil, enabling it to recognize the Apple Pencil's position on the screen. When using the Apple Pencil, the iPad Pro's Multi-Touch system scans twice as often to allow it to capture more points in a single stroke

Also new in the iPad Pro is its four speaker audio system that automatically balances left and right depending on how the iPad is held for the best possible sound. iPad Pro has an entirely new four-speaker system to create a stereo soundstage for louder, more immersive audio. The speaker housings are machined directly into the iPad's unibody enclosure and sealed with a carbon fiber cap. This technique results in speakers that offer three times more output than the speakers of the iPad Air 2, and a wider frequency range.

The iPad Pro and iOS 9 were designed hand in hand, so the iPad Pro will support all iOS 9 features, including Split-Screen multitasking. With Split-Screen multitasking, it's possible to run two apps at once side-by-side on the iPad's display, which has major implications for improving productivity and interactivity between apps.

When not in use, the Smart Keyboard serves as a Smart Cover for the iPad Pro

The Apple Pencil is a pressure-sensitive stylus with multiple sensors that are able to detect position, force, and tilt.

The future of Television is apps

The Apple TV includes 2GB RAM and A8 chip It supports 1080p video at 60 frames per second. The Apple TV runs tvOS, a new operating system designed just for the Apple TV. It brings an iOS 9-style redesign to the television set The Apple TV includes either 32 or 64GB of storage space and it supports super fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi.

To take the work out of watching TV, the Apple TV includes Siri support for searching for content by voice command. Siri is accessed through the new Siri Remote, which includes a glass Touch panel for navigating through the Apple TV interface The remote has two microphones for picking up on Siri voice commands, and a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope let the Siri Remote double as a game controller. With Bluetooth 4.0, the Apple TV also supports third-party gaming controllers.

Available with the same 4.7 and 5.5-inch Retina displays, the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus have the same exterior design as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, but much of the hardware inside is new and improved. The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are made from a 7000 Series aluminum alloy, which is stronger and more durable than the 6000 series used in the previous-generation iPhones. The iPhone 6s has a 1715 mAh battery, which is smaller in capacity than the 1810 mAh battery that was in the iPhone 6.

A new second-generation Touch ID module makes fingerprint detection twice as fast, and the 64-bit A9 processor in the two devices is 70 percent faster at CPU tasks and 90 percent faster at GPU tasks than the A8 processor in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. A built-in M9 motion coprocessor enables new features, such as always-on "Hey Siri" functionality.

iPhone 6s and 6s Plus devices have a 12-megapixel camera with some internal improvements to preserve color accuracy and speed up autofocus. The iPhone 6s Plus has Optical Image Stabilization, while the iPhone 6s does not. With the improved camera, 4K video at 30 FPS is supported, and the iPhones can capture 63 megapixel panoramas. There's a 5-megapixel front-facing FaceTime camera with a True Tone Retina Flash feature that lights up the display of the iPhone just before a photo is captured.

Built into the display of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus is an expanded multi-touch feature called 3D Touch, which allows the iPhone to measure different levels of pressure in addition to taps, swipes, and pinches. 3D Touch is used across iOS 9 to enable shortcut gestures called a "Peek" and a "Pop" both at the home screen and in iOS apps. A light press enables a Peek, while a deeper press enables a Pop, and there are unique swipe gestures to open up menus and take actions when using Peeks.

The most novel camera-based feature available for the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus is Live Photos, a feature that captures 1.5 seconds of movement before and after a photo is taken to display short animations and sound when a 3D Touch gesture is used on an image. Live Photos is designed to add a sense of vitality and life to still photos. Live Photos are similar to the animated photos shown in the Harry Potter movies, displaying a few seconds of animation over and over again. These short animations are also displayed when flicking through images in the Camera Roll.

Why IT companies concentrate on wearable device? Just has it a good performance? No, it relates to healthcare. Airstrip which is healthcare app can receive and view vital information sent over to physicians by nurses and staff. It monitors heart rate, contractions during child birth and the ability to differentiate between the baby and the mother’s heart rate. A lot of information which contains heart rate, baby and the mother’s heart rate makes Big-Data. If some information is different from a ordinary day, that day may be the root of the problem. Then we could find out the cause of the disease.
