Starting with continuity.
Every device we make is powerful in its own way.
And when you use them together, you unlock new experiences that feel truly magical.
This year, we've created a completely new way to work across your devices with greater precision and speed.
And we call it universal control, with universal control.
You can now use a single mouse and keyboard to move between your Mac and iPad for a seamless experience.
Universal control is so incredible.
You just have to see it in action.
Let me show it to you now.
I'm putting the phone finishing touches on an illustration here on my iPad It's the last piece I need to finish a presentation that I have open on my Mac Book.
Now, I'll just set my iPad down next to my Mac.
And check this out without any other setup.
I'm going to simply move my Mac cursor towards my iPad and the iPad automatically recognizes that and if I move a bit further Boom, my cursor is now on the iPad.
How cool is that.
And now I can move my cursor back and forth effortlessly between the two.
With universal control I can even drag and drop files between my devices.
I'm just going to take this drawing I finished on my iPad and drop it on the keynote on my Mac.
Awesome.
For our pros out there.
Universal control works with more than two devices.
So let's add this iMac into the mix.
Now I can use the trackpad on my MacBook to control my iMac as well.
I can also switch to use my IMAX keyboard and mouse in This is so cool.
Watch this.
Now I have a title, text image I've been working on here and procreate on my iPad.
Now I'm gonna take this image and drag it across all three devices and drop it in to final cut.
Just like that.
That's why we're introducing AirPlay to Mac It works just like airplay today so it's instantly familiar.
You can play present and share just about anything.
As you draw sketch on iPad, your colleagues can follow along on the bigger display.
And you can even take advantage of any Mac's of high fidelity sound by using it as an airplay speaker.
