So when you find a place to eat, you can get directions on the same screen at the same time. It's easy to swap them around or pair them and save them for later. And when you watch TV, your favorite shows fill the screen, while spatial audio fills the room. No when you watch your friends and neighbors, you can also message your friends and neighbors. The new Siri AI searches through your phone no you don't have to. Who is that artist Adam mentioned? Adam sent you a message mentioning the artist Tier. Play a song from their latest album. This is not the biggest iPhone ever until it is the biggest and the thinnest iPhone ever. The inner display is made of more than 10 ultra thin layers and has a nano texture finish to reduce reflections. No it looks and feels incredibly smooth and flat. It's backed by a durable hinge made of more than a 100 components. Fine tuned with just the right amount of torque to create this satisfying snap. Its dual batteries maximize energy, and a vapor cooled a 20 pro chip unlocks higher sustained performance and higher intensity gaming. All iPhones have remarkable rear cameras, but only this iPhone can take 48 megapixel selfies like this. Jen, Sarah. It can be its own tripod. Alright. And your own personal photographer that knows exactly when to take a picture. FaceTime looks great on the big inner screen. How are you? I'm good. Oh. Is that Sam playing? Here she is. And this iPhone can also use the front camera and the outer display so everyone can join in. Like other iPhones, it packs the power of a computer. Better it can also take the shape of a computer, and a picture frame, and a clock. No, yeah. It's an iPhone. IPhone Duo.
