Like back-to-school and leaf changes, Apple kicks off September each year with an occasion to show off its new iPhones and watches. This year was no exception. And while last week’s news had few surprises (we had already noticed many in the form of leaks), we now have a clearer view of what the most sensible staples for holiday shopping will be. The new iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max joined the new Apple Watch Series 8, Watch SE and Watch Ultra, the latter with a new rugged design logo for adventurers and serious athletes. Among those announcements, Apple showed off its second-generation AirPods Pro and the first products are available for pre-order now.
Apple continues to shape its line of iPhones and watches with interventional assistance when it comes to fitness and coverage against non-public disasters. Another theme on phones: state-of-the-art photography and video capabilities, with the Pro series featuring camera and all iPhone models adding a virtual gimbal for symbol stabilization.
All 4 iPhone 14 variants charge a new emergency satellite messaging feature, which is included for free for two years. Apple has redesigned its antennas to connect to satellite frequencies and has pre-populated the phone with non-unusual questions and answers to simplify the use of this emergency messaging feature, called SOS Emergency Mode. Apple says you can send a message in as little as 15 seconds with a transparent view of the sky. Another novelty, collision detection, which is also in the range of Apple Watch.
No more family SIM card tray: All new iPhones use the new eSIM protocol, necessarily a software SIM card that doesn’t require a physical card, allowing you to seamlessly switch and buy SIM cards, or seamlessly transfer between plans.
Want to know more (or book your own equipment)? Read on for a rundown of what’s new and remarkable about Apple’s newest products, adding our practice directly from Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino.
The new Apple Watch Series 8 offers a host of new features, hardware and more software. Its two most touted additions (cycle tracking and fault detection) do what Apple does by tightly integrating hardware and software to produce meaningful functionality. For example, the Series 8 watch gets a temperature sensor, which works with Apple’s new women’s fitness software, designed to track cycles and detect ovulation. see it — critical issues given the existing political climate.
Similarly, Watch Series 8 uses sensor enhancements to trip over a serious car destination turn and automatically connect it to emergency services. Collision detection also stores your location and also notifies emergency contacts. It works with cars, SUVs and vans.
Also new to the Watch Series 8 is a low-power mode that extends battery life to 36 hours and maintains features like activity tracking and fall detection, but ignores the always-on demo and automatic exercise detection. (Series 4 and later owners running watchOS nine will also benefit from this feature. )
The Apple Watch Series 8 is available in 8 colors, adding midnight, starlight, silver and Project Red, and starts at $399 with GPS and $499 with cellular. Pre-orders for all Apple Watch models begin today and will ship on September 16.
Apple Watch SE 2 gets an update with a redesigned back panel and a 20% retarder. It includes collision detection, as well as the same old features for training and activity tracking, central frequency monitoring, and fall detection.
The Apple Watch SE 2 is available in silver and starlight, and starts at $249 for the GPS edition and $299 for the mobile edition.
The Apple Watch Ultra represents the most impressive addition to the Watch line since its inception. The Watch Ultra differs from other rugged watches only by its full messaging and voice compatibility with Apple’s iPhone. The Watch Ultra has a massive 49mm dial and a corrosion-resistant aerospace-grade titanium case. It has a larger crown dial, with grooves designed for use with gloves; It also has a large, high-contrast orange button. This watch adds a momentary speaker and an 86-decibel siren, and has 3 microphones located to help your sound regardless of wind and background noise. The watch is available in a unique model, with built-in mobile phone. The battery lasts 36 hours or 60 hours with battery optimization activated.
In addition to traditional workouts, Watch Ultra has software features for express sports activities, adding outdoor adventures, water sports, and resistance training, as well as the ability to go back and forth and aid diving with the Huion Oceanic app and service. Inside, the watch features dual-frequency GPS and traditional positioning algorithms, additions that aid location in difficult places like skyscraper canyons in cities.
While the Watch Ultra looks imposing in the photos, Phelan reports from Cupertino that this isn’t the case: the Watch Ultra looks and feels much less overwhelming than it seemed. Its titanium frame means that the watch is rarely very heavy, in fact it is. noticeably larger than the larger Series 7 or Series 8 watch.
A few more observations from the initial practical work: the particularly giant virtual crown feels smart in the hand, as does the undeniable way of pressing the side button and the newly added button on the opposite side, even wearing gloves. The screen is very giant and has been configured to display all imaginable content in a transparent and readable way. And the new watch face designed for the Ultra features a clever night mode, which is achieved by rotating the virtual crown in one direction to display the screen’s content in a deep way. red instead of several colors.
The base iPhone 14 sees the minimal changes. The model is again 6. 1 inches and maintains the same A15 Bionic chip as the iPhone 13, but the functionality and GPU cores are d, with its five-core GPU running 18% faster than before. Apple says it has redesigned the internal parts design for heat flow and functionality, which deserve to prevent the phone from overheating. The camera is back to the same 12-megapixels, but has a longer sensor that, in turn, captures largely in low light. The main camera also has a wider f/1. 5 aperture lens and sensor-compensated optical symbol stabilization, which were provided in the iPhone thirteen Pro lineup last year. It also has a faster night mode, all useful for shooting in difficult lighting situations.
Apple iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are available in five colors.
On the Cupertino site, publisher David Phelan reports that the iPhone 14 looked more like last year’s model: the same length and design, but with new colors like a particularly brighter and more vivid Product Red. Purple is the coolest color, the call is exaggerated – it’s such a soft shade that purple, lavender or lilac look better than purple.
iPhone 14 is available in five colors: Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple and Product Red. The price remains the same, starting at $ 799. The phone will ship on September 16.
New to the lineup, Apple’s iPhone 14 Plus. This style reflects the trend towards bigger phones, given that Apple brought this style and ignored the iPhone thirteen Mini update for now. The characteristics of the iPhone 14 Plus correspond in all aspects to the iPhone 14 described above, for its demonstration size: a 6. 7-inch screen, equal to that of the iPhone thirteen Pro Max.
The iPhone 14 Plus will be available in five colors this year: midnight, starlight, blue, purple and product red. Pricing starts at $899. The phone will ship on October 7.
In an attractive fit to the range, the features, not the length of the screen, distinguish the popular Apple iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus models from the Apple iPhone Pro models. iPhone Pro models come in two lengths, 6. 1 inches and 6. 7 inches.
The Pro models are where all the genuine novelties of this year are. The Pro models come with an all-new A16 Bionz processor, with its 6-core processor and low power consumption. The 5-core GPU has 50% more memory bandwidth. The LTPO display has an HDR brightness of 1,600 nits and a high peak brightness of 2,000 nits. In addition, the refresh rate of the screen can be lowered to 1 Hz to save power, an important detail that allows the permanent screen of the iPhone Pro. On iPhone, the software automatically dims the screen and reduces the refresh rate, even when viewing wallpaper photos, to minimize battery consumption.
Zoom in on iPhone 14 Pro Max’s rear cameras
The main camera has a massive sensor from 48 megapixels to 12 megapixels. The four-pixel sensor is also larger, contributing to the camera’s supposed double improvement in low-light management. , also smart for low-light conditions. The ultra-wide-angle and telephoto cameras are back to 12-megapixels, but in the software you now have 4 zoom options. second, plus 4K 24 frames compatible with the second. The flash is now adaptive and dynamically adjusts the intensity according to the position of the subject.
After handling the two Pro models in Cupertino, David Phelan reports: The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max have a slightly different length than previous models. They have screens that measure the same as before: 6. 1 inches and 6. 7 inches, respectively. – but have slightly thinner bezels. However, you’ll only notice those settings if you line up the old and new phone in combination and look very closely. In the hand, those phones look and feel just like last year’s phones.
With the iPhone 14 Pro series, Apple brought its Dynamic Island, a contextual and responsive alert bubble in the most sensitive part of the screen where the TrueDepth camera and front cameras are located. Actually, Dynamic Island was incredibly impressive. Where rival brands have consistently sought to reduce non-screen details to a peephole camera, Apple takes full advantage of this screen dominance for anything else.
Since Apple’s introduction, you can see the new expansive dynamic island at the top of the screenArray. [ ] of the telephone.
For example, when you’re on Apple Music and dragging the app off-screen, the clipping expands to skillfully demonstrate the main points, such as the call of the track being played. In some settings, you can press the dynamic island and it will react. Incredibly, this not only happens when you tap the screen next to the crop, but even, thanks to a masterful design, if you actually touch the cameras. It’s hard to see how remarkable this is in practical use. Dynamic Island obviously adds to the iPhone’s ease of use in a new and effective way, with sleek and engaging animations to suit this sublime implementation.
Pro models will be available in four colors: black, silver, gold and purple. Price levels were unchanged from last year’s Pro models: $999 for the Pro and $1,099 for the Pro Max. The phones will be available on September 16.
The big news of the second-generation Apple AirPods Pro is its new H2 chip. Apple’s latest and toughest chip enables innovations in features such as active noise cancellation, adaptive transparency mode and traditional spatial audio.
Touch controls are now added to familiar workstations and ear pads were redesigned for a better fit. The new chip is helping to increase battery life to 6 hours, and with the charging case, the earbuds can save another 24 hours. The charging case adds a strap buckle and speaker so you can locate the case.
