I'm here in one of our 50 world-class anechoic chambers where we develop and test advanced wireless
capabilities like 5G. And we approach this differently than anyone else. Starting with hardware,
we designed custom 5G antennas and radio components that allow us to target exactly what works best
in the entire system. We can be very space efficient while also including the most 5G bands in a
single phone, to work on 5G in more places than any other smartphone. Another Apple advantage is our
ability to engineer a fully integrated system from silicon to software. We analyzed our entire
software stack from applications down to firmware to take advantage of 5G speeds.
For example, we optimized iOS frameworks, so apps can get the benefit of 5G without using more
power. 5G makes iPhone faster. We also made 5G smarter with Smart Data mode. When your iPhone
doesn't need 5G speeds, it automatically uses LTE to save battery. But the instant 5G speeds do
matter, iPhone starts using it. We also conduct rigorous validation. For example, this custom-built
anechoic chamber helps us replicate signals from multiple sources and directions. We use this data
to optimize our antenna system and our unique beamforming algorithms. To deliver 5G around
the world, we collaborate closely with carrier partners, ensuring iPhone has great throughput,
coverage, call quality and battery life. We've completed 5G testing on over 100 carries in over
30 regions,and we're seeing impressive peak speeds on iPhone 12. Up to 3.5 gigabits per second in
ideal conditions. Of course, 5G speeds will vary by carrier and region. In the US, we also support
mmWave, the high frequency version of 5G on all iPhone 12 models. This includes support for
Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network. This technology is ideal for densely populated areas and
crowded stadiums. With wider bandwith, it can deliver even higher speeds. In fact, we have measured
over 4 gigabits per second in ideal conditions and up to 1 gigabits per second in typical
conditions. This is just the beginning, and we're excited to offer iPhone users the best possible
5G experience. Now back to Kaiann.
Now let's talk about the chip that powers the new iPhone. The A13 Bionic on iPhone 11 is still have
the fastest chip in a smartphone. That's until now. We have a new chip developed by our world-class
silicon team: A14 Bionic, the fastest chip ever in a smartphone. Let me quickly take you to our
secret chip lab where Hope will tell you all about it. And finally, here's Hope.
Every year, iPhone sets the standard for mobile performance, even challenging the performance of
laptops. This year, A14 Bionic also marks a very important milestone in the history of iPhone.
A14 Bionic is the first smartphone chip in the world built on the latest 5-nanometer process
technology. The reduction in transistor size enables us to add features and increase performance,
all while improving energy efficiency. Our Silicon Engineering team has packed 11.8 billion
transistors into A14 Bionic,an increase of nearly 40% compared to A13. A14 improves performance
and efficiency across the entire design of the chip,starting with the CPU. The new 6-core CPU
in A14 is the fastest CPU in any smartphone. In fact, it's up to 50% faster. A14 also features
our latest 4-core GPU design,driving increased image quality and overall efficiency, so it's even
better for advanced games and machine learning. And compared to the competition, it's the fastest
GPU in any smartphone, delivering up to 50% faster graphics. We've also made significant
architectural changes that push the limits of ML processing, a critical design in vestment to enable
new experiences. We've dramatically increased the performance of our Neural Engine by growing
from 8 to 16 cores. This change delivers up to 80% faster performance on the most critical machine
learning models. This new Neural Engine is capable of an astounding 11 trillion operations
per second. And we've also increased the performance of our CPU's dedicated ML accelerators,
now 70% faster, so our developers benefit from considerably improved ML performance on our
entire chip. Our silicon powers every experience on the iPhone, and with A14 Bionic we make
those experiences even better with big updates to our CPU, GPU and a dramatic increase in machine
learning capabilities. Back to Kaiann.
A14 Bionic enables console-quality games. With the faster speeds and lower latency of 5G,
multiplayer gaming gets even better. Later this year, one of the best games of all time is
coming to iPhone. It has held the prestigious title of most popular, most played and most
viewed game in the world and revolutionized e-sports with over 100 million people watching
the world championship last year. I'm of course talking about League of Legends.
Using the power of the new A14 Bionic and Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network,
iPhone gaming is taking an enormous leap forward. Here's Michael Chow, executive producer
from Riot Games, to tell you more about it.
