Stevenote is a colloquial term for keynote speeches given by Steve Jobs , former CEO of Apple , at events such as the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference , Macworld Expo , and Apple Expo . Because most Apple product releases were first shown to the public at these keynotes, "Stevenotes" caused substantial swings in Apple's stock price.

66-430: The final Stevenote was delivered on June 6, 2011, when iCloud (Apple's cloud computing service) was announced. OS X Lion and iOS 5 were also announced on the same day. It was one of Jobs' last public appearances before his resignation as CEO on August 24 and death on October 5 of that year. In late 1996, Apple purchased NeXT , and Jobs returned to Apple after an 11-year hiatus following his forced resignation from

132-612: A Mac using OS X Lion 10.7 or later. Users can pay monthly for additional storage for a total of 50 GB, 200 GB or 2 TB . Starting in September 2023, storage options for 6 TB and 12 TB have been added. The amount of storage is shared across all devices per iCloud Apple ID . Several native features of iCloud use each user's iCloud storage allowance, specifically, Backup and restore, and email, Contacts, and Calendars. On Macs, users can also store most filetypes into iCloud folders of their choosing, rather than only storing them locally on

198-490: A class-action lawsuit alleging that it had misled users by storing data on non-Apple servers. iCloud is a free service, and comes with 5 GB of cloud storage. Users can subscribe to iCloud+ for additional storage up to 2 TB (or 4 TB for users of Apple One Premier plan who also buy an additional 2 TB of storage). Some of iCloud's features are accessible not only through apps built into iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS and macOS but also on iCloud.com. These include: iCloud

264-616: A custom domain name and invite family members to use the same domain with their iCloud Mail accounts. In 2013, as part of the Snowden revelations , The Washington Post and The Guardian reported on leaked NSA documents which showed that iCloud was part of the NSA 's PRISM surveillance program, along with other cloud services. According to the documents, the NSA could access emails, chats, photos and videos, and stored files. The documents specifically stated that

330-865: A device that was recently added to their iCloud account, in order to prevent hackers from locking users out of their files by enabling encryption. Apple started scanning images sent via iCloud Mail for child pornography in 2019. On August 5, 2021, Apple confirmed it had planned to start scanning iCloud Photos for the same reason. However, after receiving a public backlash against scanning unencrypted unuploaded photos, Apple backed down from its plans to scan iCloud Photos, and canceled them altogether in December 2022. In February 2018, Apple announced that iCloud users in China would have their data, including encryption data, on servers called "Cloud Guizhou" (in Chinese "云上贵州") located in

396-405: A maximum of 50 GB in file size (earlier it was 15 GB). This allows users to start their work on one device and continue on another device. By default, users still get 5  GB of storage for free as previously, but the expandable storage plans available have increased in size (current tiers: 50 GB, 200 GB, and 2 TB), and altered to monthly subscription payment options from

462-594: A new Finder and a new Mail . At the August 31, 1999, Seybold Seminars Expo, Jobs delivered an update on Apple, announcing its June quarterly profits, the appointment of Mickey Drexler (of Gap Inc. ) to the board of directors, and giving an overview of QuickTime. Apple partnered with Akamai Technologies as a broadcast network, with content provided by BBC News , Bloomberg Television , Fox News , Fox Sports , HBO , NPR , The Weather Channel , WGBH-TV , ABC News , ESPN , Rolling Stone , VH1 , and Disney ; new content

528-449: A series of technologies for developers, for various service-providers and for end users: The MPEG-4 format can perform various functions, among which might be the following: MPEG-4 provides a large and rich set of tools for encoding. Subsets of the MPEG-4 tool sets have been provided for use in specific applications. These subsets, called 'Profiles', limit the size of the tool set a decoder

594-607: A service Apple called iTunes in the Cloud , allowing the user to automatically, or manually if preferred, re-download any of their previous purchases on to a Mac, PC, or iOS device. Downloaded (or streamed, provided the user is connected to the Internet) iTunes Store content can be used across all these devices, however, while Apple Books Store and App Store content can be downloaded to Macs and PCs for syncing to iOS devices, only iOS and Mac devices (and their respective apps) can be used to read

660-429: A specific set of capabilities to be defined in a manner appropriate for a subset of applications. Initially, MPEG-4 was aimed primarily at low- bit-rate video communications; however, its scope as a multimedia coding standard was later expanded. MPEG-4 is efficient across a variety of bit rates ranging from a few kilobits per second to tens of megabits per second. MPEG-4 provides the following functions: MPEG-4 provides

726-448: A user's content counts as part of their iCloud storage allowance. Apple can keep a permanent track of every purchase a user makes under their Apple ID account, and by associating each piece of content with the user, it means only one copy of every Store item is needed to be kept on Apple's servers. For items bought from the iTunes Store (music, music videos, movies, TV shows), Apple Books Store (books), or App Store (iOS apps), this uses

792-416: A week after launch. It received early criticism for bugs, especially with Core Data syncing. These issues were addressed in iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks . At launch, iCloud was partly hosted on Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure . In 2016, Apple replaced Azure with Google Cloud Platform . In 2021, The Information reported that Apple was storing 8 million TB of data on Google's cloud, and

858-702: Is a group of international standards for the compression of digital audio and visual data, multimedia systems, and file storage formats. It was originally introduced in late 1998 as a group of audio and video coding formats and related technology agreed upon by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) ( ISO/IEC JTC 1 /SC29/WG11) under the formal standard ISO/IEC 14496 – Coding of audio-visual objects . Uses of MPEG-4 include compression of audiovisual data for Internet video and CD distribution, voice ( telephone , videophone ) and broadcast television applications. The MPEG-4 standard

924-406: Is about getting Apple healthy, and this is about Apple being able to make incredibly great contributions to the industry to get healthy and prosper again. Jobs later gave keynote addresses at trade expositions and conferences at least once a year, in which he announced updates to Apple products or demonstrated new products and services. Nearly every product upgrade or announcement in the next 13 years

990-582: Is also built-in as a backend to many Apple apps and system features, where it can sync users' data and settings. This includes: Third-party iOS and macOS app developers can implement iCloud functionality in their apps through the iCloud API . iCloud allows users to back up the settings and data on iOS devices running iOS 5 or later. Data backed up includes photos and videos in the Camera Roll, device settings, app data, messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS), ringtones, and Visual Voicemails. Backups occur daily when

1056-605: Is because iCloud Keychain uses " end-to-end encryption ", meaning that iCloud Keychain backups are designed so that the provider does not have access to unencrypted data. This is accomplished through the use of a novel "key vault" design based on a Hardware Security Module located in Apple's data centers. iTunes Match debuted on November 14, 2011. It was initially available to US users only. For an annual fee, customers can scan and match tracks in their iTunes music library, including tracks copied from CDs or other sources, with tracks in

1122-593: Is built into iOS , iPadOS , watchOS , tvOS , macOS , and visionOS . iCloud may additionally be accessed through a limited web interface and Windows application. iCloud offers users 5 GB of free storage which may be upgraded through optional paid plans to up to 12 TB; all paid plans include iCloud+ providing additional features. Optional end-to-end encryption has been available since 2022 for all iCloud data, except Calendar, Contacts, and Mail, which rely on legacy sync technologies for compatibility with third-party apps ( CalDAV , CardDAV , IMAP ). As of 2018 ,

1188-571: Is required to implement. In order to restrict computational complexity, one or more 'Levels' are set for each Profile. A Profile and Level combination allows: MPEG-4 consists of several standards—termed "parts"—including the following (each part covers a certain aspect of the whole specification): Profiles are also defined within the individual "parts", so an implementation of a part is ordinarily not an implementation of an entire part. MPEG-1 , MPEG-2 , MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 are other suites of MPEG standards. MPEG-4 contains patented technologies,

1254-724: The Apple Expo in Paris. However, Apple has stopped exhibiting at both expos. After 2010, the Worldwide Developer's Conference , organized and held by Apple itself at the Moscone Center in San Francisco , was the only major conference at which Apple exhibited and at which Jobs delivered a keynote address. In recent years, Jobs gave his Stevenotes in an auditorium at Apple's corporate campus. These Stevenotes, in contrast to those presented at

1320-510: The Darwin open-source software program there were over 20,000 registered developers and over 175,000 component downloads, describing the three application environments on the Darwin-Quartz foundation. The first was Classic Environment (formerly named Blue Box); the second was Carbon (API) (announced at WWDC 1998), and the third was Cocoa (API) (formerly named Yellow Box). Apple was developing

1386-648: The Java virtual machine , make it compatible and make it fast. He announced Apple's strategy for Mac OS X , saying that the 6,000-plus good application programming interfaces (APIs) would be called Carbon (API) , introducing Avadis Tevanian to demonstrate Carbon.

He reviewed Mac OS 8.5 (released in October 1998), announced Mac OS 8.6 , previewed Sonata (scheduled for release in fall 1999) and delivered an update on Mac OS X Server 1.0 . Jobs said that in

1518-776: The PowerBook G3 and showed the "Steamroller" commercial. He claimed that there were 10 million Apple computers in consumer use and six million educational users, and discussed the iMac and QuickTime ; Jobs said that the International Organization for Standardization adopted the QuickTime file format as the basis for MPEG 4 . Jobs said that Apple would add Internet "live" streaming ( Real-time Transport Protocol ) to QuickTime 3.0 for its release in fall 1998 and introduced Peter Hoddie, chief architect of QuickTime. Jobs described three improvements Apple wanted to make to Java : unify

1584-428: The x264 encoder, Nero Digital AVC, QuickTime 7, Flash Video , and high-definition video media like Blu-ray Disc ). Most of the features included in MPEG-4 are left to individual developers to decide whether or not to implement. This means that there are probably no complete implementations of the entire MPEG-4 set of standards. To deal with this, the standard includes the concept of "profiles" and "levels", allowing

1650-791: The Apple Books apps, and nor does the metadata from non-Apple purchased books (in Ebook or PDF format). There remains a syncing mismatch on some types of media, between Apple-purchased content and non-Apple purchased content that remains in effect for iCloud users. iCloud Drive is iCloud's file hosting service , that syncs files across devices running iOS 8 , OS X Yosemite (version 10.10), or Windows 7 or later, plus online web app access via iCloud.com. Users can store any kind of file (including photos, videos, documents, music, and other apps' data) in iCloud Drive and access it on any Mac , iPad , iPhone , iPod Touch , or Windows PC , with any single file being

1716-733: The Mac OS 8 Codename Sonata would be released in the third quarter of 1999; Rhapsody 1.0 would be released in the third quarter of 1998. WWDC 1999 was opened by HAL9000 .

Jobs updated Apple's profits, units, inventory and cash, announcing that Sears would be added to its national distribution chain. Apple Inc. launched its store on Memorial Day 1999, and Jobs announced

1782-402: The Mac. On January 28, 2016, ad-free iTunes Radio was discontinued and is therefore no longer part of iTunes Match. As of March 26, 2014 , iTunes Match is available in 116 countries, while iTunes in the Cloud is available in 155 countries. During the 2013 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote speech, iWork for iCloud was announced for release at the same time as

1848-504: The Music app, both on portable iOS devices and Apple TV (2nd generation onwards), as well as inside the iTunes app on Macintosh and Windows computers. It will be included in an ad-free version for subscribers to the iTunes Match service and is currently available only in the US and Australia The streaming Genius shuffle is not available in current versions of iOS but is available in iTunes on

1914-565: The Philippines. Up to 5% of Misplaced Pages editors globally could be negatively affected by using Private Relay, because Misplaced Pages blocks ranges of IP addresses to combat page vandalism.

2112-708: The QuickType keyboard, Safari history, tab groups, and iCloud tabs, Screen Time, Siri information, Wi-Fi passwords, and W1 and H1 Bluetooth keys. However, if iCloud Backup is enabled, the encryption key for Messages in iCloud is part of the backup, allowing Apple to access users' entire iMessage history if served with a search warrant. On December 7, 2022, Apple announced Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, an option to enable end-to-end encryption for almost all iCloud data including Backups, Notes, Photos, and more. The only data classes that are ineligible for Advanced Data Protection are Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, in order to preserve

2178-434: The ability to sync third-party clients with IMAP , CardDAV or CalDAV . The feature became available to U.S. customers on December 13 with the release of iOS/iPadOS 16.2 and macOS 13.1, and was expanded to the rest of the world on January 23, 2023, with iOS/iPadOS 16.3 and macOS 13.2. Users must upgrade to these versions to be able to enable the feature. Apple prevents users from enabling Advanced Data Protection from

2244-401: The amount of local storage each device needs to use to store photos (particularly those with smaller storage capacities) by storing lower-resolution versions on the device, with the user having the option to keep some/all stored locally at a higher resolution. Since its introduction in 2011, each account has 5 GB of free storage for owners of either an iOS device using iOS 5.x or later, or

2310-632: The books. Similarly, macOS apps purchased from the Mac App Store are also linked to the Apple ID they were purchased through and can be downloaded to any Mac using the same Apple ID. Also, when a user registers any new device, all previously bought Store content can be downloaded from the Store servers or non-Store content from the iCloud servers. Audiobooks and their metadata fields from non-Apple purchased sources are not synced across devices (macOS or iOS) inside

2376-417: The company in 1985. In mid-1997, he delivered a keynote address, with a detailed report on the company's status, featuring a satellite appearance by Microsoft CEO Bill Gates . Jobs announced a partnership with Microsoft with several key agreements which, according to him, would benefit Apple and allow it to recover from the prolonged decline of the early and mid-1990s. Two major announcements were made during

2442-489: The country to comply with local regulations. This raised concerns from human rights activists who claim that it may be used to track dissidents . In response, CEO Tim Cook stated that Apple encryption was "the same in every country in the world," including China. On June 7, 2021, during the WWDC event, Apple announced that iCloud's new 'private relay' feature would not work in China for regulatory reasons. MPEG 4 MPEG-4

2508-517: The customers' iCloud storage account, leaving the original higher quality local files in their original format. If a user stops paying for the iTunes Match service, all copies of the DRM-free AAC iTunes Store versions of tracks that have already been downloaded onto any device can be kept, whether on iOS devices or computers. From iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks , the iTunes Radio function will be available across devices, including integration with

2574-411: The data was collected through "equipment installed at company-controlled locations". The Washington Post further stated that Apple, like the other companies, was aware of the program and was a willing participant. Apple denied having ever heard of the program. In 2014, some celebrities' nude photos were leaked ; these photos had been synced to iCloud by the celebrities' iPhones. Apple denied that

2640-405: The device is locked and connected to Wi-Fi and a power source. In case of a malfunction of any Apple device, during the restoration process, iCloud offers to restore all data along with App data only if the device was synced to iCloud and backed up. Prior to iOS and iPadOS 13, Find my iPhone and Find My Friends stored data in iCloud before merging into Find My . Find My enables users to track

2706-497: The end of their filenames. Messages on iCloud is a feature on iOS 11.4 and macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 which keeps all of a user's iMessages and SMS texts stored in the cloud. Private Relay, an iCloud+ feature, allows users to browse Safari privately, similar to a virtual private network . According to Apple, "regulatory reasons" prevent the company from launching Private Relay in China, Belarus, Russia, Colombia, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkmenistan, Uganda, and

2772-474: The hack was caused by a security flaw in iCloud, and said that the leaks were the result of phishing , a targeted attack in which the celebrities were tricked by hackers into revealing their account passwords. Some iCloud data is end-to-end encrypted by default. As of January 2022, these include: Apple Card transactions, Health data, Home data, iCloud Keychain, Apple Maps favorites, collections, and search history, Memoji, Messages in iCloud, vocabulary learned by

2838-401: The iTunes Store, so customers do not have to repurchase said tracks. Customers may download up to 100,000 tracks in 256 kbit/s DRM -free AAC file format that matches tracks in any supported audio file formats in customers' iTunes libraries, including ALAC and MP3 . Customers also have the choice to keep their original copies stored on their computers or have them replaced by copies from

2904-425: The iTunes Store. Any music not available in the iTunes Store is uploaded for download onto customers' other supported devices and computers; doing this will not take storage from the customers' iCloud's storage allowance. Any such tracks stored in the higher quality lossless audio ALAC, or original uncompressed PCM formats, WAV and AIFF , are transcoded to 256 kbit/s DRM-free AAC format before uploading to

2970-404: The keynote: the next release of Microsoft Office (Office 98) would be developed for the Macintosh, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer would be the default web browser on Macintosh computers. Despite heckling from the audience, Jobs explained why the partnership was favorable to Apple: The era of setting this up as a competition between Apple and Microsoft is over, as far as I'm concerned. This

3036-516: The large trade fairs attended by Apple in the past, were by invitation only and were attended only by a relatively small number of journalists, employees, and guests, and were called "special events" rather than keynotes. Similar Stevenotes have also been held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts like those for the introduction of the iPad in 2010 and Apple's "Rock and Roll" iPod event in 2009. Jobs

3102-529: The latest updates; Encryption, for private files; File Sharing Over Internet; AppleScript over TCP/IP, to manage workflow across computers, and Network Browser.

3168-470: The location of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS devices, AirPods , AirTags and a number of supported third-party accessories through a connected iCloud account. A user can see the device's approximate location on a map (along with a circle depicting the margin of error ), display a message and/or play a sound on the device (even if it is set to silent), and remotely erase its contents. Users can also share their GPS locations to others with Apple devices and view

3234-480: The location of others who choose to share their location. The Send Last Location feature, which utilizes iCloud, can be optionally enabled to automatically send the location of the device to Apple when the battery is low. iCloud Keychain is a password manager developed by Apple that syncs passwords across devices and suggests secure ones when creating new accounts. iCloud Keychain backups provide different security guarantees than traditional iCloud backups. This

3300-424: The machine. While Photo Stream uses the iCloud servers, usage does not come out of the user's iCloud storage allowance. This is also true for iTunes Match music content, even for music that is not sold in the iTunes Store and which gets uploaded into iCloud storage, it does not count against the user's allowance. Other apps can optionally integrate app storage out of the user's iCloud storage allowance. Not all of

3366-399: The next version of the app versions of iWork later in the year. The three apps for both iOS and macOS that form Apple's iWork suite ( Pages , Numbers , and Keynote ), will be made available on a web interface (named as Pages for iCloud, Numbers for iCloud, and Keynote for iCloud respectively), and accessed via the iCloud website under each user's iCloud Apple ID login. They will also sync with

In May 2023, Apple announced the discontinuation of Photo Stream, with uploads turned off on June 26, and

3564-464: The service had an estimated 850 million users, up from 782 million users in 2016. iCloud was announced on May 31, 2011, in a press release. On June 6, 2011, during the WWDC 2011 keynote, Steve Jobs announced that iCloud would replace MobileMe , which had been widely seen as a "failure", a fact which Steve Jobs acknowledged during the announcement. iCloud was released on October 12, 2011, and MobileMe

3630-412: The service turned off on July 26. iCloud Photos is a feature on iOS 8.1 or later and OS X Yosemite (version 10.10) or later, plus web app access. The service stores all of the user's photos, maintaining their original resolution and metadata. Users can access their iCloud Photos on supported devices via the new Photos app when available or via the iCloud Photos web app at iCloud.com, which helps limit

3696-513: The use of which requires licensing in countries that acknowledge software algorithm patents . Over two dozen companies claim to have patents covering MPEG-4. MPEG LA licenses patents required for MPEG-4 Part 2 Visual from a wide range of companies (audio is licensed separately) and lists all of its licensors and licensees on the site. New licenses for MPEG-4 System patents are under development and no new licenses are being offered while holders of its old MPEG-4 Systems license are still covered under

3762-424: The user's iOS and macOS versions of the app, should they have them, again via their iCloud Apple ID . This allows the user to edit and create documents on the web, using one of the supported browsers: Safari , Chrome , and Microsoft Edge . It also means that Microsoft Windows users now have access to these native –previously only Apple device– document editing tools, via the web interface . Photo Stream

3828-526: The yearly ones offered under the previous MobileMe service. In iOS 11 , iCloud Drive has been integrated into the new Files app that gives users access to all their cloud and local on-device storage, which replaced the standalone iCloud Drive app. According to computer scientist Malcolm Hall, certain file types are automatically excluded from iCloud Drive and will not be uploaded. These exclusions include Aperture and Photos libraries. Users can also manually exclude files or folders by appending .nosync to

3894-423: Was a service supplied with the basic iCloud service which allows users to store the most recent 1,000 photos on the iCloud servers for up to 30 days free of charge. When a photo is taken on a device with Photo Stream enabled, it automatically uploaded to iCloud servers. From there, it become available for viewing and saving on the rest of the user's Photo Stream-enabled devices. The photo was automatically removed from

3960-511: Was developed by a group led by Touradj Ebrahimi (later the JPEG president) and Fernando Pereira. MPEG-4 absorbs many of the features of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 and other related standards, adding new features such as (extended) VRML support for 3D rendering, object-oriented composite files (including audio, video and VRML objects), support for externally specified digital rights management and various types of interactivity. AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)

4026-405: Was discontinued on June 30, 2012. Previous MobileMe users could keep their @mac.com and @me.com email addresses as aliases to their new @icloud.com address.

4356-547: Was standardized as an adjunct to MPEG-2 (as Part 1) before MPEG-4 was issued. MPEG-4 is still an evolving standard and is divided into a number of parts. Companies promoting MPEG-4 compatibility do not always clearly state which "part" level compatibility they are referring to. The key parts to be aware of are MPEG-4 Part 2 (including Advanced Simple Profile, used by codecs such as DivX , Xvid , Nero Digital , RealMedia , 3ivx , H.263 and by QuickTime 6) and MPEG-4 part 10 (MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 or Advanced Video Coding, used by
