iPhone 14, Apple Watch Ultra announced

Apple CEO Tim Cook has just introduced the iPhone 14 pro, the high-end models for this year.

The smallest model with a 6.1-inch screen is called the iPhone 14 Pro. The largest model will be called iPhone 14 Max.

The iPhone 14 Pro will start at $999, and the larger model starts at $1,099. This is the same price as last year’s models. They go up for pre-order on Friday and will ship next week.

These devices have a new front design with a smaller notch for the front camera which expands the screen of the device. Apple calls the break a “dynamic island,” and it can essentially display notifications or other system information, such as baseball scores.

iPhone 14 Pro has many new features:

• An always-on display that doesn’t turn off when not in use.
• Apple also introduced a new low power mode to make battery life last longer.
• It uses Apple’s latest A16 Bionic chip, which Apple says is built on a 4-nanometer process.
• A 48 megapixel camera thanks to a larger sensor.
• Best low light photography.
• Redesigned flash.

It comes in four colors, space black, silver, gold and deep purple.

Apple announced a long-rumored ability to connect its iPhone 14 series to satellites for emergency services during its event on Wednesday, through a partnership with Globalstar.

The feature is designed to connect the antennas of an iPhone 14 directly to a satellite, to send a message to areas not covered by cell towers.

Apple’s manager of satellite modeling and simulation, Ashley Williams, said an algorithm in the phone compresses text messages to a size that will “take less than 15 seconds to send” to a satellite before being transmitted to a ground station and to an emergency service provider. .

The emergency satellite service launches in November and is included free for two years with an iPhone 14.

Globalstar confirmed in a filing that it is supporting the iPhone 14 emergency satellite service and will “allocate 85% of current and future network capacity” to support the feature.

Satellite communications – which have few existing networks supporting specialized, purpose-built telephones – is undergoing a new era of investment. Companies including Elon Musk’s SpaceX and AST SpaceMobile have previously announced partnerships with mobile service providers, with a similar goal of offering similar satellite services directly to traditional consumer smartphones.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has just unveiled the iPhone 14. So far, Apple has introduced two new models—an iPhone 14 Plus and an iPhone 14.

The iPhone 14 Plus replaces the older “iPhone 13 mini” model with a larger model with a 6.7-inch screen.

The iPhone 14 will start at $799 and the Plus will cost $899. Pre-orders start on September 9th and the smaller version will go on sale on September 16th. However, the Plus model won’t ship until October.

Apple said all US iPhone 14 models will no longer use physical SIM cards, replacing them with a digital eSIM that can support multiple phone numbers and is better for security.

iPhone 14 features include:

• OLED screen with true tone
• Five colors including a new light blue
• Improved battery life
• Ceramic screens that are more durable
• Better low-light performance on the front camera
• Action mode that stabilizes video
• Security service called Emergency SOS via Satellite that can connect to emergency services even if the user is out of cellular or wi-fi range. It’s free for iPhone 14 users in the US and Canada and is launching in Canada.

Apple CEO Tim Cook announced a new model of Apple’s AirPods Pro, which are wireless noise-canceling headphones.

They cost $249 and will go on sale on September 23rd.

They have better sound quality and clarity, Apple said, due to an Apple H2 chip inside, an upgrade from the previous model’s H1.

New features include:

• New touch control to adjust the volume
• Longer battery life with up to 6 hours of listening time
• A smaller ear tip that is too small
• A speaker added to the matter
• Can be charged with MagSafe charger.

Apple said the noise cancellation in the new models is twice as good as before.

Apple has just introduced the Apple Watch Ultra, a new high-end watch with a new design, larger screen and titanium case. The product is intended for outdoor athletes.

It will cost at least $799 and hit store shelves on September 23. Pre-orders are available on Wednesday.

It comes with a new watch face with more information, including a compass. It also has a new orange “action” button for quick use during training or when wearing gloves. It can also show how deep the user is diving while swimming.

Apple says the watch could get up to 60 hours of battery life with a software update this fall.

“Every detail has been designed to create the strongest and most capable Apple Watch ever,” Apple CEO Jeff Williams said in a promotional video.

Apple has announced a redesigned Apple Watch SE, which is a lower-cost version of its flagship Series 8.

This year’s model includes:

• A bigger screen
• A new plastic design on the bottom of the watch
• Heart rate notifications
• Decline detection

It will retail for $249 or $299 starting September 16th. Apple is marketing it as a device for kids who may not need their own iPhone. – How Leswing

Apple CEO Tim Cook kicked off the video-oriented launch event with Apple Watch news.

The new device will be called Series 8, Apple CEO Jeff Williams said. It’s more durable than previous models and has a new temperature sensor that can be used to help monitor health data, including ovulation.

It will come in four colors in aluminum – black, gold, aluminum and red – and three colors in stainless steel. It costs at least $399 for an aluminum model and $499 for one with cellular connectivity.

Apple says the device is designed to keep data secure and private, and that health data will only be shared with explicit permission from the user.

Apple also added a new security feature powered by two motion sensors. New car crash detection can detect if you’ve been in a serious car accident and automatically call emergency services.

A new mode on Apple Watches can extend Apple Watch battery life from 18 hours to 36 hours by temporarily disabling the always-on display and workout notifications.

Cook began by broadcasting a video featuring people reading letters written about how the garment has helped them get help in emergency situations.

Investors looking to trade news of Apple’s new iPhones on Wednesday should heed the advice of Bernstein’s Toni Sacconaghi.

“Historically, Apple stock does not react materially to iPhone announcements (given that there are usually no surprises), and performance has generally been fairly muted in the 3 months following iPhone announcements (typically mid-September to mid- November), as investors wait to gauge the strength of the iPhone cycle,” Sacconaghi wrote in a note this week.

In fact, analysts say Apple stock typically performs in line with the market a month after the disclosure, CNBC reported this week. – How Leswing

The Apple Store is down, as is tradition, until the end of the launch event, when it will go back online with all the new Apple products.
