iPhone 14, Rugged Watch, New AirPods Pro and more…

Apple unveiled new products, including its latest smartphone, the iPhone 14, during its annual September event from Apple Park in California.
The new iPhone 14 Plus with a 6.7-inch display joins the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. All four devices are available to preorder Friday, Sept. 9.

The iPhone 14, Pro and Pro Max will launch on Sept. 16, while the iPhone 14 Plus launches on Oct. 7.
The iPhone 14 features a 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 14 Plus has a 6.7-inch display. It also boasts upgrades to the processor and cameras, as well as new crash detection features which will alert emergency services and contacts in the event of a car accident.

The Pro and Pro Max models will include an always-on display, providing information, including time and widgets, without having to wake the phone. They will also feature a 48-megapixel camera and Dynamic Island, a redesigned notch at the top of the phone. It will display information when devices connect to your phone, or you have other notifications.

New AirPods Pro

The upgraded, high-end earbuds launch on Sept. 23. They feature an updated processing chip for better sound quality and upgrades to spatial audio, providing a surround sound style experience.
The popular active noise cancellation feature is twice as good as the original AirPods Pro, according to Apple. In addition, the earbuds will now include an extra-small earbuds tip for comfort. Meanwhile, transparency mode helps reduce high-decibel noise nearby.

Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch 8

Apple Watch Ultra: Designed for more intense activities such as scuba diving, the Apple Watch Ultra is made from titanium with a flat sapphire front crystal and the largest display on an Apple Watch yet. There’s also a new bright orange action button for additional functions. 

The watch has a second speaker for more volume and extra microphones. Every Ultra watch is built with cellular technology and up to 36 hours of battery life on one charge. It can go up to 60 hours with a new battery optimisation setting launching later this spring. In addition, the watch’s Night Mode can turn the interface bright red for better visibility in the dark.

Apple Watch 8: The watch will launch in multiple colours and styles, including midnight, starlight and product red for the aluminium models and silver, gold or graphite for stainless steel models. Watches from brands Nike and Hermes will get updates too. It’s available to preorder on Sept. 9 and launches on Sept. 16.

The Apple Watch will get a low-power mode to minimise battery-intensive features and add up to 36 hours of battery life. It’s available for the Watch Series 4 or later through the WatchOS 9 update.

The new watch will also add a feature that detects when you’re in a severe car crash. Once detected, the watch automatically contacts emergency responders, sends off your location, and reaches out to emergency contacts. In addition, new technology can sense the force and timing of an impact to determine whether you’ve been involved in a front- or side-impact crash, a rear-end crash or a rollover.
