  • Also new: feature for iMovie called iMovie Theater that takes clips you've made and puts them in a simple page that will sync up on iOS and on Apple TV via iCloud.



  • Schiller says this new design takes 70 percent less electricity than the previous generation model, and is quieter too at 12 dBA idle, so it's on par with a Mac Mini.
