## Transcript

The last couple months we've been testing publicly and previewing iOS 9. 3. Which is one of the biggest dot releases we've ever done. And it adds some new innovations, as well as some improvements to a wide range of apps. I'd like to share some highlights with you. Let's start with Night Shift. So studies have shown that exposure to blue light in the evening can actually make it harder for you to fall asleep at night. So night shift automatically shifts the colors of the display, to the warmer end of the spectrum, which may help you sleep better at night. So how does that work? Well when it's enabled, night shift uses your IOS device's clock, as well as its geo location, to know when it's sunset in your location.

And then it automatically shifts the color of that display to the warmer end of the spectrum which reduces the blue light, which may help you sleep better. It's a really cool feature, that's why I'm so wide awake and alert. Notes is actually one of the most used apps on the platform, it's used by literally hundreds of millions of people everyday. And customers are loving the newly redesigned Notes app iOS9. Well today we're adding the ability to further protect your most personal notes with a passcode or a fingerprint. [ APPLAUSE ] Health and we want to make it easier for customers to find the right apps for their health fitness needs.

So we added great app suggestions right into the Health App so you can easily add data to your dashboard. News. We introduced Apple News with iOS 9 and it's become the source of news for over 50 million active Users. And in iOS 9 we want to make it even faster and more personalized. So we're adding Top Stories to make it easier to track your news on your iPhone or iPad. And for you now suggest trending topics as well as editor's picks. CarPlay. CarPlay is the safer, smarter Way to use your iPhone in your car. So you can expect to see this in more and more places. And with the iOS 9. 3 we've added even more useful features to CarPlay.

For instance your Apple music experience gets even better with New and For You, which provides songs, artist, albums, hand- picked by experts as well as selections made by your own preferences. And maps gets even better. With the nearby feature, which allows you to find gas, parking, restaurants and more with just a tap of your finger. Education. IPad with its powerful features and apps opens up new and more engaging ways of learning. And with iOS 9. 3, using iPads in the classroom is even easier and more powerful with the preview of a new suite of software and capabilities that are designed specifically for students, teachers, and administrator.
