Good morning. Thank you.

Welcome to the Steve Jobs Theater. Wasn’t that a fun video?

Things certainly do get hectic around here leading up to days like this, but they’re also magical days because we get to share our latest innovations with you.

As you know, Apple was founded to make the computer more personal. Of course, first with the Apple 2 and then later with the Mac. Over the years, we’ve taken this mission further than anyone could have imagined.

We’ve created several categories of technology that have had a profound impact on people’s lives. From the iPod to the iPhone to the iPad to the Apple Watch, and we’ve completely reinvented the retail experience, making it more personal and engaging.

Our stores have become part of the community. They’re open, beautiful, inspiring places to learn and gather. Like this gorgeous store, the Apple Piazza Liberty, it’s revitalizing a plaza in the heart of Milan.

The store opened to thousands of customers who came to experience a weekend full of events, and we know it’s going to be popular for years to come.

In fact, our Apple stores are now welcoming over 500 million visitors per year. Thank you.

We love that so many customers had the chance to experience our products first hand and get the personal help that they need to get the most out of them. Of course, we aim to put the customer at the center of everything that we do. That’s why iOS is not just the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, it’s the most personal.

We’re about to hit a major milestone. We are about to ship our 2 billionth iOS device.

This is astonishing. iOS has changed the way we live, from the way we learn, to the way we work. To how we’re entertained, to how we shop, order our food, get our transportation, and stay in touch with one another.

And of course, how we capture the moments of our lives and share them with those we love. It’s amazing how our mission started with personalizing technology for the desktop to now seeing the many ways that we’ve made it more personal in so many aspects of our lives.

So it’s only fitting that today we’re going to tell you about two of our most personal products, the ones that are with you everywhere that you go, and how we’re going to take them even further.

So let’s get started with the Apple Watch.

We’re thrilled by how much the Apple Watch has grown in such a short period of time. I mean to think this category didn’t even exist just a few years ago, and now Apple Watch is being embraced by so many people around the world.

Apple Watch is not only the number one smart watch in the world, it’s the number one watch, period.

Apple Watch has redefined what a watch can do for you. It’s the integration of breakthrough technology and powerful software and world-class services that bring it to life.

For millions of people around the world, Apple Watch has become an indispensable part of their daily lives by helping them stay connected, to be more active, and to live a healthier day.

To tell you how we’re going to take Apple Watch to the next level, I’d like to invite Jeff.

Jeff.

Jeff Williams – COO, Apple

Wow, thank you, thank you.

We’re humbled and inspired by how Apple Watch has become such an important and even essential part of people’s lives, and it’s becoming more indispensable in three areas in particular. It keeps you connected to the people and information you care about with phone calls and messages and notifications right on your wrist, and cellular lets you stay connected with just your Apple Watch, even if you leave your phone behind.

Fitness is at the core of Apple Watch, encouraging you to be more active by closing your rings and tracking your workouts, and now you have built-in GPS. It’s swim proof, and it even automatically detects when you’re working out.

And health. Health has been at the core of Apple Watch as well. Apple Watch put heart rate monitoring right on the wrist, and while you could always check your heart rate, Apple Watch now looks in the background and notifies you if it detects an elevated heart rate. This may seem like a simple change, but we see this in our customer letters. It’s a profound change. Apple Watch has become an intelligent guardian for your health.

Today, in each of these areas, staying connected, living an active life, and managing your health we’re taking Apple Watch to the next level.

And now, I’d like to introduce the next generation of Apple Watch.

Apple Watch Series 4. Everything about it has been redesigned and reengineered. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered and it’s just beautiful.

It all starts with a stunning new display. We pushed the screens right to the edges, and we curved the corners to perfectly match the shape of the watch. And the screens are significantly larger. In fact, they’re over 30% larger.

And we’ve done this with minimal changes to the case size. Series 4 is thinner, so there’s actually less total volume than in Series 3. And to take advantage of the new display, every part of the UI has been redesigned. You’ll see more in maps and photo and calendar, and we’ve created new complications. They look beautiful, and they show even more information and detail.

And we’ve also designed a brand-new watch face with up to eight complications that really brings them to life. And you can customize it with the things you care about.

Now, you can add loved ones to your watch face and simply tap to connect with them. Or if you’re traveling, you can customize the watch face to track the different time zones.

Or maybe you want to create the ultimate health and fitness watch.

We also redesigned the modular face with more detailed and graphical information from apps like stocks and heart rate and activity and even apps from our developers, so now you can track the live score of your favorite team with MLB at Bat. Your boarding information will appear right on your watch face with the Quantas app.

Or you can glance at nutritional intake with the Lifesum app.

Next, the Breathe app has been a popular way for people to take a moment to be more mindful, and now, the app is available as a watch face, so with a simple raise of the wrist, the watch face will guide you through a deep breath, and there are three beautiful variations to choose from. It’s a little hypnotic. It’s kind of wonderful.

In addition, we’ve created some dynamic new watch faces that uniquely interact with the shape of the display. With the fire face, see how the flames subtly illuminate the ticks of the dial? And the new water face, notice how the bubbles splash off the edges. And the vapor face, looks amazing with the rich, vibrant colors.

We think you’re going to love everything about the new displays on Series 4.

Next, let’s turn to the digital crown. The digital crown’s been completely reengineered, and it now includes haptic feedback, giving you a more responsive and mechanical feel. It’s especially great in apps like Podcast and Calendar where you precisely flip through each item.

The speaker has also been completely redesigned. It’s 50% louder, which is great for phone calls and walkie talkie or Siri requests. You ask Siri something on Series 4, and she comes back with volume. You just won’t believe the sound you get out of such a small device.

We moved the microphone on Series 4 to the opposite side, as far away from the speaker as possible to reduce echo, making phone calls even clearer. And the back of Series 4 is absolutely beautiful. It’s made entirely of black ceramic and sapphire crystal, and it’s not only beautiful, it’s highly functional.

Radio waves can now pass through both the front and the back, resulting in improved cellular reception. So this, along with a new speaker and microphone, makes Series 4 even better for staying connected.

Series 4 is just as impressive on the inside. The brain of Series 4 is our fourth-generation silicon in package, or SIP, and we call it S4, and it allows us to build in so many capabilities in such a small device. S4 contains a powerful new dual-core 64-bit processor and a new GPO both custom designed by our Apple silicon team to deliver up to two times faster performance.

On Apple Watch, the accelerometer and gyroscope, they power important experiences like all-day activity tracking or even identifying your swim stroke. Well Series 4 has a next generation accelerometer and gyroscope with twice the dynamic range measuring up to 32 G-forces and can sample motion data eight times faster.

You probably have no idea what any of that means, but that’s OK because we do, and it’s allowed us to do something new.

One of the leading causes of injuries worldwide is falls. So whether your slip off a step ladder or you trip on a curb, a hard fall can be serious, and it can be difficult to get immediate help.

Well now Apple Watch Series 4 can detect a fall. It’s interesting, identifying a fall may sound like a straightforward problem, but it requires a tremendous amount of data and analysis. We conducted studies with thousands of people over a long period of time, and we captured data on real-world falls, and we learned something.

We learned that with falls there’s this repeatable motion pattern that happens. For example, when you trip, your body will naturally pitch forward, and your arms will go out involuntarily to brace yourself.

However, if you slip, there’s a natural upward motion of the arms. Well these are motions Series 4 is ideally suited to recognize. With the new accelerometer and gyroscope, the watch analyzes wrist trajectory and impact acceleration to determine when a fall occurs, and after detecting a fall, Series 4 delivers an alert, and from that alert, you can initiate an emergency call.

However, if the watch senses you are immobile for one minute, it will start the call automatically. And it also sends a message with your location to your emergency contacts using the SOS feature that is already built into Apple Watch. Fall detection is a feature that we hope you never need, but it’s really nice to know it’s there.

The optical heart sensor has been essential to Apple Watch from the beginning, and it allows us to calculate the calorie burned during your workouts. It allows to determine your resting heart rate, and it also powers the high heart rate notification that’s helped Apple Watch become an intelligent guardian for your health.

We wanted to do even more in this space, and so we’re announcing three new heart features.

First, a notification if your heart rate appears to be too low. Now generally a low heart rate is thought to be a good thing, but if it’s too low, it might mean that your heart’s not pumping enough blood to the body, and that can be a sign of something serious, and now Apple Watch can detect it.

The second feature is related to heart rhythm, and this is a big deal. Apple Watch can now screen your heart rhythm in the background, and it sends you a notification if it detects an irregular rhythm that appears to be atrial fibrillation. Now, it won’t catch every instance of AFib, but we believe this is going to help a lot of people who didn’t otherwise know they had an issue.

The first two features, they’re powered by the optical sensor.

The third feature is made possible by a new electrical heart sensor on Series 4. We’ve added electrodes into the back sapphire crystal and the digital crown allowing you take an electrocardiogram. It’s otherwise known as an ECG, and this is the first ECG product offered over the counter directly to consumers.

An ECG measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat, and it’s used by physicians to help diagnose certain heart diseases and other conditions. And so now you can take an ECG anytime, anywhere, right from your wrist. You just open the app, and you put your finger on the digital crown.

To show you how this works, let’s take a closer look. The built-in electrodes in the back crystal and the digital crown, they detect electrical impulses from the heartbeat. They route them to the S4 chip, which converts them to signal for our algorithms. The entire process takes just 30 seconds, and at the completion of the ECG recording, you will receive a heart rhythm classification.

If your heart is beating in a normal rhythm, the app will classify the measurement as sinus rhythm, and the app will also classify atrial fibrillation. All ECG recordings, their classifications, the noted symptoms, they’re all stored right in the health app in a PDF you can share with your doctor. So now your doctor has a detailed picture of your heart rhythm, similar to a lead one ECG that is usually only obtained in the clinic.

And to give you his thoughts on this, I’d like to invite to the stage the president of the American Heart Association, and also a practicing cardiologist, Dr. Ivor Benjamin.

Dr. Ivor Benjamin – President, American Heart Association

Thank you, Jeff.

I’m inspired by the life-saving potential of technology and applaud Apple’s innovation and commitment to health. Capturing meaningful data about a person’s heart in real time is changing the way we practice medicine.

In my experience, people often report symptoms that are absent during their medical visits. That is why information is vital, information about a person’s daily lifestyle choices and their specific health data. The ability to access health data on on-demand electrocardiogram or ECG is game changing. Especially when evaluating atrial fibrillation and irregular and often rapid heart rate that can increase a person’s risk of stroke, heart failure, and other health-related complications.

At the American Heart Association, we are committed to educate and empower people, to be proactive in all areas of their health and general well-being. The American Heart Association is a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.

Products that seek to provide deeper health insights like the Apple Watch Series 4 offer great potential in getting us there.

Thank you.

Back to you Jeff.

Jeff Williams – COO, Apple

Thanks Dr. Benjamin.

It’s great to have the support of the American Heart Association, and I’m also pleased to say, we’ve received clearance from the FDA. And this is a de novo clearance, which means it’s the first of its kind.

Also, the irregular heart rhythm alert has also received FDA clearance. Both of these features will be available to U.S. customers later this year, and we’re working hard to bring them to customers around the world.
