Features Design Performance OS X Built‐in Apps Tech Specs

The highest-resolution notebook ever. And the second-highest.


Stunning Retina display.
Millions of pixels ahead of its time.
One look and it’s clear: with over 4 million pixels on the 13‐inch model and over 5 million pixels on the 15‐inch
model, the Retina display on MacBook Pro is an incredible engineering feat. Whether you’re retouching
professional photography or editing a home movie in HD, all those pixels give you images a level of clarity you’ve
never seen on any notebook – or any computer, for that matter. With colors so rich and vibrant and details so
sharp, it’s a display worthy of the world’s most advanced notebook


All‐flash architecture.
It makes quicker work of everything.
MacBook Pro with Retina display is built entirely around a flash architecture. Flash is the fastest,
most reliable storage technology. And it provides unprecedented power and capability in an
amazingly compact 13‐inch and a superslim 15‐inch model. The processor, graphics, and I/O all
benefit from the higher bandwidth speeds that flash storage offers. Together, they let this
notebook do things no other notebook can. Because no other notebook is built to.


Thin. Kight. Powerful.
There’s innovation in every nanometer.
With state‐of‐the‐art flash storage, the latest Intel processor, and next‐generation
graphics built for speed, MacBook Pro packs a lot of power into not a lot of space. Apple
designers and engineers reconsidered each detail of every internal component to
maximize performance and minimize size. As a result, these notebooks are the thinnest,
lightest, and highest‐performance MacBook Pro models we’ve ever made.


OS X Mountain Lion.
The world’s most advanced desktop operating system.
OS X Mountain Lion takes full advantage of the incredible technologies in every Mac. It
makes a powerful computer intuitive and easy to use. It makes Multi‐Touch gestures on
the trackpad feel fluid and natural. It makes it easy to find, organize, share, and do just
about eveything. And thanks to iCloud, it makes your Mac, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
work wonderfully together.


A groundbreaking Retina display. All‐flash architecture. The fastest mobile processors. Remarkably thin and
light 13-inch and 15-inch designs. Together, these features take the notebook to a place it’s never been. And
they’ll do the same for everything you create with it.


We wanted a screen as vivid as your imagination. A screen where everything you see is vibrant,
detailed, and sharp. With the 15‐inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, we created the world’s
highest‐resolution notebook display. The only thing that even comes close? The supercompact
13‐inch model. They’re two of a kind. And in a class all their own.

Multimillion‐pixel view.
When you pack so many pixels into a display — over
4 million on the 13‐inch model and over 5 million on the 15‐
inch model — the results are positively stunning. The pixel
density is so high, your eyes can’t discern individual pixels.
Images take on a new level of realism. Text is pin sharp. A
spectacular 2560‐by‐1600 resolution on the 13‐inch
MacBook Pro and an equally impressive 2880‐by‐1800
resolution on the 15‐inch MacBook Pro let you see more of
your high‐resolution images with pixel‐for‐pixel accuracy.

More color and contrast. Less glare.
The Retina display reduces glare up to 75 percent while
maintaining incredible color and quality. In fact, it has a 29
percent higher contrast ratio than a standard MacBook Pro The 13‐inch MacBook Pro with Retina display has nearly 2 million more
display. Blacks are blacker. Whites are whiter. And pixels than an HDTV. The 15‐inch model has over 3 million more.
everything in between is rich and vibrant. IPS technology
gives you a wide, 178‐degree view of everything on the
screen, so you’ll see the difference at practically any angle.
And you’re going to love what you see.


When your goal is to build the high‐performance notebook of the future, you begin at its
foundation. For this MacBook Pro with Retina display, that foundation was flash. Because when you
build a notebook around an all‐flash architecture, not only is everything more durable,
reliable, and battery efficient — everything is fast. Really, really fast.

reliable, and battery efficient — everything is fast. Really, really fast.

There’s a reason they call it “flash.”
You’ll notice a difference in whatever you do — starting up
takes seconds, apps launch quickly, even navigating the
desktop feels incredibly fluid and responsive. It’s all thanks
to flash storage, which gives you up to four times the
performance of a traditional hard drive. So you can import
huge photo libraries into Aperture in no time flat. And on
the 15‐inch model, flash storage combines with quad‐core
processors and high‐performance discrete graphics to
make quick work of even the most demanding editing tasks
in Final Cut Pro. Since these MacBook Pro models come
with up to 768GB of flash storage, you can keep all your
important files with you. Flash doesn’t have any moving
parts, which makes it superdurable and quiet. And flash
storage is extremely energy efficient, which means your
MacBook Pro also has the ability to stay in standby mode
for up to a month, without plugging in. So whether it’s
been 1 day or 30, your all‐flash MacBook Pro will spring to
life, right where you left off.


MacBook Pro has more than just processing power. It has an incredible amount of battery
power, too. So you can do more than ever — all on a single charge.

Matching power for power.
A 7‐hour battery life is impressive for any notebook. But for a high‐
performance notebook with an ultra‐high‐resolution display, top‐of‐the‐line
processors and graphics, and a superslim design, it’s absolutely remarkable.
The built‐in battery gives you up to 1000 full charge and discharge cycles
and up to 30 days of instant‐on standby time.

Power Nap
With Power Nap in OS X Mountain Lion, your MacBook Pro
continues to receive new email and calendar invitations while it’s
asleep. And when it’s connected to a power source, it can
download software updates and make backups with Time
Machine. So the next time you open your notebook, everything’s
right there waiting for you.


MacBook Pro with Retina display features the latest Intel dual‐core and
quad‐core processors. They’re the muscle behind the most powerful
notebooks we’ve ever built.


MacBook Pro with Retina display features the latest Intel dual‐core and
quad‐core processors. They’re the muscle behind the most powerful
notebooks we’ve ever built.

The new mobile powerhouses.
With a dual‐core Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 processor, the 13‐inch MacBook Pro with Retina
display lets you take your most performance‐hungry apps on the road. That means wherever you
can take your camera, you can take Aperture and your entire digital photo studio, too. Hyper‐
Threading technology, which enhances performance by letting each core handle multiple tasks
simultaneously, is included in every model. And with speeds up to 2.9GHz and Turbo Boost
speeds up to 3.6GHz, these processors are ready for just about anything.

The 15‐inch MacBook Pro with Retina display has the power to do even more amazing things.
Third‐generation quad‐core Intel Core i7 processors with a state‐of‐the‐art 22‐nanometer
microarchitecture provide the fastest performance ever in a MacBook Pro. With speeds up to
2.7GHz, up to 8MB of shared L3 cache, and Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.7GHz, these processors
make quick work of even the most complex tasks in professional apps like Final Cut Pro. They
also support up to 16GB of superfast 1600MHz memory. Which means the 15‐inch MacBook Pro
is ready to take on whatever you can dream up, wherever your travels take you.


These graphics are so fast, smooth, and realistic, you might just forget you’re
looking at a computer screen.

The power behind the pixels.
The 13‐inch MacBook Pro with Retina display features Intel HD Graphics 4000 — perfect for both
everyday tasks and graphics‐intensive creative apps. Scroll through large photo albums with
ease. Play games with amazing detail. Even connect an external display or two. It’s just another
way this 13‐inch MacBook Pro is small on size and big on performance.

The 15‐inch model has a phenomenal display — and a GPU to match. The NVIDIA GeForce GT
650M graphics processor based on next‐generation Kepler architecture with 1GB of dedicated
video memory provides up to 60 percent faster graphics performance than any notebook we’ve
ever made. And it delivers enough power to drive the amazing 5‐million‐pixel Retina display as
well as two external displays. All while making the most graphics‐intensive tasks — like
rendering HD video and editing RAW photography — fast, easy, and incredibly fluid.


SDXC card HDMI USB 3 MegSafe 2 Thunderbolt USB 3 Headphone

The future of high‐speed data transfer. Ready to use today.
Everything about the MacBook Pro with Retina display is high performance — even its I/O.
Whether you choose the 13‐inch or the 15‐inch model, you’ll get two Thunderbolt ports — the
fastest, most versatile I/O available. That’s a huge advantage when you need to connect to just
about anything — external displays, RAID arrays, video capture devices, even FireWire
peripherals (adapter sold separately) and Gigabit Ethernet networks (adapter sold separately).
Combine that with two USB 3 ports, an HDMI port, and an SDXC card slot, and in a matter of
minutes you can build an entire professional studio with MacBook Pro as its centerpiece.

Stay connected with the most advanced wireless technology.
Meet the ultimate mobile creative studio. With an emphasis on mobile. Equipped with
the latest three‐stream 802.11n Wi‐Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology, you’re
free to unplug and still stay connected — to your network, to your wireless peripherals,
and to the world. And with AirPlay and Apple TV, you can wirelessly play video, show off
photos, and enjoy music from your MacBook Pro on your HDTV.


Stereo Speakers Dual Mics


Advanced speaker design. Your notebook never sounded this good.
You haven’t heard it all until you’ve heard the speakers inside the MacBook Pro. For
something so thin and light, the sound is huge. And with a wide dynamic range,
optimal balance, and a crisp, expressive quality, these speakers might sound too good
to be true. That’s because we labored painstakingly over the design to maximize the
quality of every decibel you hear.

Dual mics. They’ll hear you loud and clear.
Dual built‐in microphones are great for when you want to be heard. If you’re making a
FaceTime call, for example, the mics reduce background noise from behind the
notebook. And when you use Dictation, they create an adaptive audio beam that
intelligently adjusts to detect your voice — instead of the noise around you.


Touch and go go go. A brighter way to work.
In OS X, Multi‐Touch is an essential part of how you interact Thin and light, this notebook is designed to go anywhere —
with your Mac. Using realistic, intuitive gestures, you can including places with less‐than‐stellar lighting. A built‐in
switch between apps, navigate your content, and get the sensor detects changes in ambient light and adjusts the
most out of your desktop space. The all‐new MacBook Pro keyboard brightness automatically. So you’re never left in

button surface. So you can tap, pinch, swipe, and click
away comfortably.


Your content. On all your devices.
iCloud stores your content and lets you access your music, photos, calendars, contacts,
documents, and more from whatever device you’re on. So if you take a picture with your iPhone
or make changes to your meeting schedule on your iPad, iCloud makes sure everything appears
on your Mac, too. And it works both ways — create a to‐do list on your Mac and you can make
edits to it on your iPhone.


Your favorite software. As you’ve never seen it before.
To take advantage of the beautiful Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion apps
like Safari, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and more — as well as other Apple
apps including iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iTunes, Aperture,
and Final Cut Pro — have already been optimized, and updates to other
Apple apps are coming soon. To see the latest Retina‐ready apps for the
Mac, visit the Mac App Store


When we designed the MacBook Pro with Retina display, we started with a blank
slate. That gave us the freedom to imagine something radical, something entirely
different. A notebook so thin, so light, and so powerful. A notebook designed for the
future, but ready to use today.


It may be incredibly thin and light, but the all‐new MacBook Pro is
also incredibly powerful. To achieve all that in a single design
required relentless focus and a willingness to make bold decisions.
Every millimeter was designed, engineered, built, and assembled to
the most exacting performance standards. Bulky legacy technologies
like the spinning hard drive and optical disc drive were left behind in
favor of newer, higher‐performance technologies — all‐flash
storage, for example. It’s much faster and far more reliable than a
traditional hard drive. And it takes up 90 percent less space. Which
is one of many reasons this MacBook Pro isn’t just extremely
capable, it’s extremely portable, too.

The Retina display is a breakthrough — any way you
look at it. We pushed the limits of technology to create
a pixel density so high, you can see    everything you’re
doing with perfect clarity and make edits with pinpoint
accuracy. Not only is it the highest‐resolution display
ever on a notebook, it   has a new, more integrated design
that achieves a level of fit and finish never before possible.
This Retina display doesn’t sit behind a layer of glass, it is
the glass. Which means you get all the benefits of a state‐
of‐the‐art display — vibrant colors, high contrast, and
wide viewing angles — with very little glare. So there’s
more to see, and even less to distract you from your work.


We designed every aspect of the MacBook Pro with Retina display with performance in mind. From the beginning, the entire
internal structure was built to house the very best high‐performance components. The 15‐inch model features the most
powerful processor and graphics we’ve ever put in a notebook. And the 13‐inch MacBook Pro is the lightest MacBook Pro
ever — giving you great performance in a notebook almost a pound lighter than its predecessor. Despite packing such an
enormous amount of power into such a slim design, we still achieved an astonishing 7‐hour battery life.2 We also found a
way to integrate the highest‐quality speakers we’ve ever designed for a notebook. And we engineered a new cooling system
that draws in air from three sides of the notebook. Alone, each of these elements is an incredible accomplishment. Together,
they make MacBook Pro the world’s most advanced notebook.

Designing from the ground up meant completely rethinking which ports belong on a high‐
performance notebook. Both the 13‐inch and 15‐inch MacBook Pro with Retina display feature the
fastest, most advanced I/O technology available. They’re the first notebooks ever to include two
Thunderbolt ports, two USB 3 ports, and an HDMI port — giving you the flexibility to connect
multiple external displays, an HDTV, and other high‐performance devices. Without a traditional
optical drive, there’s room for ports conveniently located on both sides of the notebook. We even
created a slim MagSafe 2 port to accommodate its thin, sleek design. So you can take this
notebook anywhere. And be ready for anything.



MacBook Pro with Retina display is the result of an obsessive focus on detail. Apple designers
and engineers worked closely together to craft every single piece that went into making it —
the fans, the vents, the speakers, the noise‐reducing microphones, the screws, even the
machining of the thumbscoop. Everything was considered, and nothing overlooked. Because
when a notebook becomes this advanced, every nanometer counts.

pixels on the 15‐inch model, the Retina display is the perfect place to
view and edit your high‐resolution photos. Dot for dot, more of your
image can fit on the screen — which makes editing photos far more
precise. And with both models offering far more pixels than any other
notebook display, you can see fine details and textures like never
before. In fact, the Retina display is so sharp, you can tell which
photos are in focus just by looking at the thumbnails.

All your photos. In a flash.
With two ultrafast Thunderbolt ports, two USB 3 ports, and an SDXC
card slot, you can build a photo studio around MacBook Pro. Or take
it with you and import thousands of RAW images on location — up to
five times faster than on a standard MacBook Pro.2 Once your photos
are on your computer, editing in Aperture is faster and more
responsive than on any notebook we’ve ever built. And high‐speed
flash storage lets you quickly browse large image libraries from
internal storage. So you have instant access to any photo in your
library.


Edit up to four streams of uncompressed 8‐bit 1080p HD video on the 15‐inch model — right from internal storage.

Super‐responsive flash storage delivers up to nine
streams of 1080p ProRes (HQ) content for multicam
editing in Final Cut Pro X, while the latest quad‐core
processors on the 15‐inch MacBook Pro decode
multiple streams of video, and a powerful GPU renders
millions of pixels onto the screen. With flash storage
that offers up to four times the performance of a
traditional hard drive, you can even edit four streams
of uncompressed 8‐bit 1080p HD video, right from the
internal storage on your 15‐inch MacBook Pro with
Retina display.

More onscreen presence.
Having four times the pixels of a standard display makes video so sharp, so clear, and so lifelike, your
shots may look even better than you remember. And it changes how you edit video on a notebook,
especially in Final Cut Pro X or iMovie. For the first time on a portable computer, you can view your video
on the 15‐inch MacBook Pro in pixel‐accurate 1080p HD and see your editing workspace onscreen at the
same time.


Work with more pixels per inch.
MacBook Pro with Retina display is the ultimate creative design studio. With 2560 by 1600 pixels on the
13‐inch model and 2880 by 1800 pixels on the 15‐inch model, the resolution of the Retina display is so
high, it rivals the printed page. Reduced glare, higher contrast, and a 178‐degree viewing angle help
make this Retina display the ideal place to see your work. High‐performance graphics and processors let
you render images and apply filters with incredible speed. And thanks to flash storage and superfast


A powerful notebook for powerful ideas.
The latest quad‐core processors and up to 16GB of 1600MHz memory in the 15‐inch model provide an

Built on a rock‐solid UNIX foundation, OS X is engineered to take full advantage of the technologies
in every new Mac. And to deliver the most intuitive and integrated computer experience.


Hardware and software made for each other.
Since the software built into every Mac is created by the same company that makes the Mac, you get a
fully integrated system in which everything works together perfectly. OS X works with the processor in
your Mac to deliver the best possible performance. It works with the Multi‐Touch trackpad in Mac
notebooks so they feel natural to use. Power Nap takes advantage of the Mac hardware to keep the
entire system up to date while it sleeps.1 And OS X gives you long battery life by working with the
computer’s built‐in sensors to dim the screen in low‐light conditions and even regulating processor
activity between keystrokes.


Multi‐Touch, Mac style.
Use your fingers to tap, scroll, pinch, and swipe your way around the Mac. Because Apple makes both the
hardware and software, Multi‐Touch gestures are remarkably precise. This precision makes Multi‐Touch the
most natural and intuitive way to use a computer. When you scroll down on your trackpad or Magic Mouse, your
document scrolls down. When you scroll up, your web page scrolls up. When you swipe left, your photos move
left. These and many more gestures make all you do on your Mac easier, intuitive, and fun.


It’s remarkably simple.
From the desktop you see when you start up your Mac to the applications you use every day, everything is
designed to be easy and intuitive. And it all makes perfect sense, especially if you have an iPad, iPhone, or iPod
touch. The desktop is clean and simple. It takes one click to open an app and a few more to buy, download, and
install new apps from the Mac App Store. On a Mac, it’s easy to find, share, and do just about everything. And a
Mac does so many things automatically, sometimes you don’t have to do anything at all.


It’s incredibly powerful.
Making powerful things simple requires some seriously advanced technologies. OS X is loaded with them. It’s
built on a rock‐solid, time‐tested UNIX foundation that provides unparalleled stability and industry‐leading
support for Internet standards. And the incredible graphics performance in OS X allows applications like Aperture
and Final Cut Pro to give you unprecedented photo and video editing capabilities. OS X is engineered to take
advantage of the latest technologies in every Mac.


It’s easy to get around.
On the Mac, everything is right at your fingertips, right where you need it. The Dock is a handy place for all your
favorite apps. From the Dock, you can launch apps quickly and switch between them easily. If an app isn’t on the
Dock, you’ll find it in Launchpad. Go there to see all the apps on your Mac full screen and organize them however
you like. And Mission Control gives you a bird’s‐eye view of all your open windows, so you can keep track of
everything you’re working on. OS X offers systemwide support for gorgeous, full‐screen apps that use every inch
of your Mac display. You can have multiple full‐screen apps open at once — along with multiple apps in windows.
And it’s easy to switch between full‐screen and desktop views.

iCloud. It’s how Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch work even better together.
Sign in once with your Apple ID on your new Mac, and iCloud is automatically set up in all the apps that use it. So
if you have iCloud set up on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, whatever you do on your Mac happens on those
devices, too. And it works the other way around. Update something on another device, and the same update will
be made on your Mac. So your mail, contacts, calendars, messages, documents, data, and more go wherever you
go. From your Mac to your iPhone to your iPad and back to your Mac.

Whether you’re musically gifted or mostly curious, GarageBand is the application for you. Plug in your electric guitar or USB
music keyboard and get ready to rock with virtual replicas of the most revered amps and stompboxes in the world, as well as
over 100 software instruments. Just because you didn’t grow up learning your A, B, and C sharp doesn’t mean you can’t. Basic
Lessons teach you just that: the basics. Choose from 40 lessons that cover blues guitar, rock guitar, classical piano, pop piano,
and more. Or get a private lesson from one of your musical heroes, like Sting or Death Cab for Cutie, with Artist Lessons.
GarageBand even tells you how well you’re playing in real time with a feature called “How Did I Play?”

Groove Matching
brings all your
tracks together
beautifully —
even the ones
that are out of
rhythm.

Flex Time lets
you quickly
change the
timing of your
recording to fix
mistakes or
extend a riff.


Just like shopping the App Store on iPad and iPhone, the Mac App Store offers endless possibilities to
browse and purchase apps on your Mac. New apps install in one step right to Launchpad. And the Mac App
Store lets you know when app updates are available, so you always have the latest versions.

Download thousands of apps from the Mac App Store straight to Launchpad on your Mac.


It’s faster, smarter, and more than just a browser. View web pages full screen on every inch of your Mac
display. Save articles to your Reading List and read them later — even without an Internet connection. And
peruse pages from the clean, uncluttered, ad‐free Safari Reader. Safari works great with iCloud. It keeps
your Reading List up to date across all your devices. iCloud Tabs makes the last web pages you looked at
available on all your devices, too. So you can always pick up browsing, reading, shopping, and doing just
about everything wherever you left off.

There’s one field for search and web addresses. And Safari knows what you’re looking for.

Mail makes it easy to manage all your email from a single, ad‐free inbox. It features powerful search
capabilities, with search suggestions and tokens built in. It works with the free me.com email account you
get when you sign up for iCloud, as well as most email standards — including POP3 and IMAP — and
popular email services such as Gmail, Comcast, Time Warner, Charter, Cox, Yahoo! Mail, and AOL Mail. Mail
supports Microsoft Exchange 2010, too. If you have more than one email account, no problem. Add your
accounts to Mail and you’ll be able to access all your email from one place. And Mail looks as great as it
works. It makes full use of your display with a gorgeous widescreen view featuring a full‐height message and
a message list that includes snippets. With Conversations, messages from the same thread appear in an
elegant timeline showing each communication as it was sent while hiding redundant text.

Get a widescreen view of your inbox. See one open message and a list of messages with previews.

Messages on the Mac replaces iChat. It does everything iChat does, and so much more. For starters, it
comes with iMessage. So you can send unlimited messages to anyone on a Mac — and on an iPhone, iPad,
or iPod touch running iOS 5 or later, too. You can even start a conversation on your Mac and pick it up on
your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Send photos, videos, documents, and contacts. And send messages to a
group. You can see when your message has been delivered and when someone’s typing a reply. Turn on
read receipts, and friends can see when you’ve read their messages. With end‐to‐end encryption, your
messages stay safe and private.

Send unlimited iMessages to anyone on a Mac or an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 5 or later.

Keep track of your busy schedule and share it with others using Calendar. Create separate calendars —
one for home, another for school, a third for work, and so on. See all your calendars in a single window or
choose to see only the calendars you want. Calendar lets you create invitations using information from
Contacts, update your guest list, keep track of responses, and receive the latest status information. When
you or another Mac user receives a Calendar invitation via Mail, it’s automatically added. Calendar also
works with iCloud, Yahoo!, and Google. And when you use iCloud, every Calendar edit you make on your
Mac automatically appears on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. So no dinner dates are missed, no
meeting goes unattended, and no anniversary is forgotten.

See all your calendars in a single window. Or choose to see only the calendars you want.


Contacts is a flexible and convenient place to store information for everyone you know. It’s easy to import
names, numbers, addresses, and photos from other applications. And it’s designed for Facebook, too.
Contacts automatically includes your friends’ profile photos and information. And when friends update their
information, Contacts updates your Mac. You can create smart groups for clubs, activities, and business
purposes; print address labels and envelopes; and more. iCloud updates your contacts on your iPad, iPhone,
iPod touch, and Mac — so when you enter someone’s contact info once, you have it everywhere. And since
Contacts is built on vCard, an industry standard for storing contact information, your friends can send you
cards that you can add simply by dropping them into your contacts list — no typing required.

When you add, delete, or edit a contact, iCloud updates your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Mac.


Reminders helps you get all your to‐dos done — on the Mac and on your iOS devices. Make as many to‐do lists
as you need and easily add to them. Set due dates and you’ll get alerts as deadlines approach. Check items off
your lists as you go and keep track of what you’ve completed. And to be sure you don’t forget anything, iCloud
keeps your reminders up to date on your Mac, iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

Make lists. Check off your to‐dos. And see everything you’ve completed.

Time Machine works with your Mac and an external hard drive or Time Capsule (sold separately). Connect the
drive, assign it to Time Machine, and start enjoying some peace of mind. Time Machine automatically backs
up your entire Mac, including system files, applications, accounts, preferences, music, photos, movies, and
documents. But what makes Time Machine different from other backup applications is that it not only keeps a
spare copy of every file, it remembers how your system looked on any given day — so you can revisit your
Mac as it appeared in the past.

Browse by date to see how your system looked at any previous time. And restore your Mac with a click.

Take fun snapshots and make short videos in Photo Booth. Right from there, you can share what you shoot on
Facebook and Twitter. Use photos as your Messages icons. Assign them to friends and family in Contacts. And
add photos to your iPhoto library. But the real fun starts when you use the effects and backdrops. Snap a
photo of yourself at the Eiffel Tower or in outer space. Choose from nine effects that use facial tracking
technology so effects look great whether you’re front and center — or left of center. Snap single photos or
shoot multiples in a four‐photo burst. You can even shoot and trim video clips, complete with effects. And see
your Photo Booth photos full screen.

Take quick snapshots and film short videos. Even add fun effects.
