Tech giant unveils slew of updates to its key iPhone and watch lines
The company also debuted the Apple Watch Series 9 at the event in California, and showed off the follow up to its rugged Ultra watch, both of which can now process Siri requests on-device.
The iPhone 15 Pro will swap out the stainless steel for a more durable titanium design, allowing the company to shrink the borders on the phone and make it lighter without losing any screen space. The top-end smartphone is also more repairable, the company said, with a new structural frame that allows the backglass to be easily replaced.
An improved portrait mode allows you to switch the focus of the photo after it has been taken and turn a regular photo into a portrait shot, and also night mode will bring more detail into shots. Among those features are a new gesture that allows users to control some of the key functions on the watch without ever touching the screen, and processing Siri requests on the watch rather than in the cloud.
With Siri requests processed on the watch, they will be faster and more secure as the cloud is no longer required. That opens up access to health data through voice assistant Siri, a feature that will be available later this year.
