keynote

There was a slide in the keynote today about how they were still proud to achieve all-day battery life.

So the battery, like we saw in the keynote, was launched alongside the phone.

Slide in the keynote that rose my eyebrow the most when I saw it when they introduced this a few days ago was "World's best Active Noise Cancellation," of any in-ear wireless headphones.

A lot of them didn't even make the keynote.

Now, also, here's some other things that we missed from that first impressions in the keynote.

Matter of fact, if you go and watch that 2022 keynote, when they introduced the AirPods Pro 2, they said that those were twice as powerful as the first gen AirPods Pro.

But while we're on numbers, this is one of those big things that's come out since the keynote.

And it was funny, the keynote was pretty chill, up until the point where they started to talk about this, and it was actually the loudest applause, and it was really tempting to make fun of it.

One thing that they did mention in the keynote specifically was there was a new coating over the lenses that I immediately thought, oh, does this fix the horrible nighttime flare issues with the iPhone's video?

This did not get enough attention for how awesome it was, because it came in the middle of a keynote that was kind of an absolute disaster in so many other ways.

I can tell you a story that a number of years ago I went to Thunder Bay, Ontario to be a keynote speaker for the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.

Now, you might have thought this was just an iPad thing 'cause we all saw this get demoed at the keynote in iPadOS 18, but it actually is on the iPhone, as well.
