iPhone 14, Apple Watch Ultra, and AirPods Pro 2 Apple Event Recap

Apple's iPhone 14 series was officially announced this year, and it brings several exciting features and improvements to the table. One of the most notable changes is the pill shape over the front-facing camera and Face ID sensors, which Apple has dubbed "Dynamic Island." This design change allows for more flexibility and interactivity, as users can see live activities like ongoing notifications in a dynamic pill shape that adapts to different situations.

For example, during an event, you can see how the Dynamic Island can display various types of notifications, such as messages from Uber or food delivery services. The Dynamic Island also changes shape depending on what's going on, such as when music is playing or a timer is active. This new design element is not only visually appealing but also provides a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.

In addition to the Dynamic Island, Apple has made several improvements to the display of the iPhone 14 Pro. The display is now brighter, with thinner bezels, and it can reach up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness. This means that images displayed on the screen will be more vivid and detailed, especially when viewing HDR content. Furthermore, the iPhone 14 Pro features an always-on display, which provides a glimpse into your widgets and notifications even when the screen is not actively being used.

The Always-On Display comes with the new A16 Bionic chip, which boasts a 4 nanometer process and two high-performance cores for high efficiency. The Neural Engine has also seen a significant boost in performance, with 17 trillion operations per second. This means that tasks such as camera processing, machine learning, and more will be handled quickly and efficiently.

The A16 Bionic chip is also expected to bring improvements to photography capabilities. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max now feature a 48-megapixel camera sensor for their main or wide-angle lenses. This quad-pixel sensor allows for twice the low-light improvement compared to previous models, making it ideal for capturing stunning images in dimly lit environments.

One of the most exciting features of the new camera is the return of the 2X Zoom mode, which was previously available on the iPhone 13 Pro. However, with the new Dynamic Island design, users can now choose from multiple zoom levels, including 0.5x, 1x, 2x, and 3x, all accessible through a single tap.

The camera also benefits from Apple's new Photonic Engine, which enhances low-light performance even further. Overall, the camera updates for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are expected to be among the biggest improvements in recent years.

Beyond the display and camera upgrades, Apple has also made significant strides in terms of safety features. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max now come equipped with SOS via satellite capabilities, which allows users to send emergency messages and location data even without cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity.

Additionally, the new iPhones include car crash detection, which uses advanced algorithms and machine learning to detect the likelihood of a collision based on driving patterns and other factors. This feature can alert emergency services if a crash is imminent.

The pricing for the iPhone 14 Pro starts at $999, while the Pro Max begins at $1,099. Storage options range from 64GB to 1TB, offering users flexibility in terms of storage capacity. For those looking to capture high-quality images and videos, higher storage models are recommended.

Pre-orders for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will begin on September 9th, with availability starting on September 16th. The existing iPhone 13 lineup has been reduced in price, making it more accessible to users who want a slightly older model without breaking the bank.

In conclusion, Apple's iPhone 14 series is packed with exciting features and upgrades that promise to take the user experience to new heights. From the Dynamic Island design to the improved display, camera capabilities, and safety features, there's something for everyone in this latest lineup of iPhones.

to iPhone 14 and 14 pro as rumored the iPhone 14 now has a larger size it will come in the regular 6.1 in screen size and the new iPhone 14 plus they brought back that plus naming and there is definitely no iPhone 14 mini sorry mini fans no more mini you just get the 6.1 and 6.7 in sizes for the 14 Apple said there's a new internal design but exterior wise it looks very similar to the iPhone 13 of course if you get the larger size that would be different straming shield technology on the front comes in five colors midnight Starlight there's a light blue light purple and product red but also as rumor the iPhone 14 will only sport the A5 bionic which is last year's chip the a16 is reserved just for the iPhone 14 pro the regular iPhone 14 will still have the 12 megapix camera although it is slightly improved with an f1.4 aperture and the front-facing camera on iPhone 14 also an improved 12 megapixel sensor with f1.9 and autofocus pixels Apple announced a new photonic engine feature which will enhance the image processing on all future iPhones and really improve the lowlight photography there's also a new video stabilization mode that apple is calling action mode so if you're running around doing some sports you can turn on action mode and it will work even more to stabilize the video using the full sensor to capture video and then cropping it down to make an even smoother video Apple also announced that they are removing the SIM card tray from US models of the iPhone Apple is going all in on eims electronic Sims which you can get from many different carriers and providers and the iPhone can even store multiple eims you can quickly transfer cellular Plans but as far as the US models no more SIM tray now the crash detection that was announced with the Apple Watch series 8 and Ultra is also available on iPhone 14 that new gyroscope and GeForce acceler gometer that allows for crash detection on the watch is built into the iPhone and the long rumored SOS satellite connectivity was announced here for iPhone 14 and 14 pro Apple spent a good amount of time talking about this satellite SOS feature it is not made for continual communication or conversation but when you enable the emergency SOS via satellite your iPhone will actually show you where to point your iPhone and keep it pointed at a satellite it needs that line of sight to really be able to work properly and once it's connected to a satellite it will walk you through the steps of your emergency who's injured is it you is it someone else what kind of injury is it and then it will send a message to Emergency Services find my features also work over this satellite connectivity Apple said this satellite SOS is only going to be available in the US and Canada right now and it's free for 2 years with the purchase of an iPhone 14 so it's unclear what the cost will be after 2 years or ongoing finally Apple did say that Fitness Plus will be available to iPhone users even if you don't have an Apple Watch in the near future the iPhone 14 starts at $799 and for the plus the larger model it will be $88.99 so Apple kept that $799 starting price from the 13 to the 14 you can pre-order it Friday September 9th and it will be available September 16th but if you want that larger iPhone 14 plus model that will be available October 7th still pre-order it this Friday September 9th finally Apple rounded out the event with the iPhone 14 pro the 14 pro comes in four colors black silver gold and a deep purple I'll be honest I was kind of hoping for a green color but purple is kind of the one color you get this year in addition to gold and like the rumors stated we now have a pill shape over the front-facing camera and face ID sensors instead of a Notch Apple announced that for the first time they actually put the proximity sensor behind the display that's the sensor that when you hold your iPhone up to your ear like if you're on a phone call that it turns the screen off that proximity sensor is now behind the display and they're calling this pill shape the dynamic Island that is Apple's fancy word for this pill shape but they are actually utilizing it for interactions and notifications you can see lots of video examples during the Apple event where live activities like ongoing notifications whether it's for an Uber or a food delivery service that they can actually take advantage of that Dynamic pill shape or dynamic Island and it can even change and adapt to different shapes depending on what's going on if you have music playing or a timer going it will actually appear in that Dynamic Island area Apple also announced improvements to the display of the iPhone 14 pro it's a bright there's thinner bezels and it goes up to 1,600 nits which is the same as Pro display xdr even 2,000 nits of peak brightness for HDR content and because of the improved display and a16 bionic we now have an always on display for the iPhone 14 pro and 14 pro Max Apple said the Adaptive refresh screen on the iPhone 14 pro can go all the way down to 1 HZ to save battery life and you can still see your widgets there on the lock screen and will actually dim your wallpaper it doesn't remove the wallpaper completely so it's not a black screen when the iPhone is in that standby mode you still see your wallpaper it's just slightly dimmed and then you can see live activities and other widgets there on the always on display comes with the new a16 Bionic chip this is a 4 nanometer process chip two high performance cores for high efficiency has the neural engine 17 trillion operations per second basically this chip is super fast has 50% more memory bandwidth and it goes to help that ltpo always on display and that a16 is going to help with some of the photography improvements cuz iPhone 14 pro and pro Max now has a 48 megapixel camera sensor for its main or wide camera lens this 48 megapixel sensor is a quad pixel sensor apple is saying there's two times the low light Improvement and because it's 48 megapixels they've now brought back a 2X Zoom mode which is actually that 48 megapixel sensor cropped down to 12 megapixels like you would have on your iPhone 13 Pro right now so when you're in the camera app you actually have a0 5x for Ultra wide 1X 2X and 3X all available to you when you're taking a picture the new photonic engine makes those lowl light photos even better and overall I think this is going to be one of the biggest camera updates for the iPhone in a long time the iPhone 14 pro and pro Max also gets the SOS via satellite features and car crash detection the 14 pro stays at the same starting price of $9.99 and the pro Max starts at $10.99 you can get those up to 1 tbte and if you're going to be shooting priz video and apple Pro raw 48 megapixel photos you might want to look at getting one of those higher storage iPhones you can pre-order the iPhone 14 pro and pro Pro Max on September 9th and it will be available September 16th the iPhone 13 actually stays in the lineup at $5.99 all the way down to the iPhone SE which is 429 overall big event for Apple honestly lots of the leaks and rumors were accurate leading up to the event we had the always on display 48 megapixel camera sensor and that brand new Apple watch the naming was a little off they didn't go with Apple watch Pro they went with Apple watch Ultra I'm curious where else that Ultra moniker will be used as Apple seems to be gearing that for its high-end products like M1 Ultra chip in the Mac Studio and now the Apple watch Ultra we'll

shape or dynamic Island and it can even change and adapt to different shapes depending on what's going on if you have music playing or a timer going it will actually appear in that Dynamic Island area Apple also announced improvements to the display of the iPhone 14 pro it's a bright there's thinner bezels and it goes up to 1,600 nits which is the same as Pro display xdr even 2,000 nits of peak brightness for HDR content and because of the improved display and a16 bionic we now have an always on display for the iPhone 14 pro and 14 pro Max Apple said the Adaptive refresh screen on the iPhone 14 pro can go all the way down to 1 HZ to save battery life and you can still see your widgets there on the lock screen and will actually dim your wallpaper it doesn't remove the wallpaper completely so it's not a black screen when the iPhone is in that standby mode you still see your wallpaper it's just slightly dimmed and then you can see live activities and other widgets there on the always on display comes with the new a16 Bionic chip this is a 4 nanometer process chip two high performance cores for high efficiency has the neural engine 17 trillion operations per second basically this chip is super fast has 50% more memory bandwidth and it goes to help that ltpo always on display and that a16 is going to help with some of the photography improvements cuz iPhone 14 pro and pro Max now has a 48 megapixel camera sensor for its main or wide camera lens this 48 megapixel sensor is a quad pixel sensor apple is saying there's two times the low light Improvement and because it's 48 megapixels they've now brought back a 2X Zoom mode which is actually that 48 megapixel sensor cropped down to 12 megapixels like you would have on your iPhone 13 Pro right now so when you're in the camera app you actually have a0 5x for Ultra wide 1X 2X and 3X all available to you when you're taking a picture the new photonic engine makes those lowl light photos even better and overall I think this is going to be one of the biggest camera updates for the iPhone in a long time the iPhone 14 pro and pro Max also gets the SOS via satellite features and car crash detection the 14 pro stays at the same starting price of $9.99 and the pro Max starts at $10.99 you can get those up to 1 tbte and if you're going to be shooting priz video and apple Pro raw 48 megapixel photos you might want to look at getting one of those higher storage iPhones you can pre-order the iPhone 14 pro and pro Pro Max on September 9th and it will be available September 16th the iPhone 13 actually stays in the lineup at $5.99 all the way down to the iPhone SE which is 429 overall big event for Apple honestly lots of the leaks and rumors were accurate leading up to the event we had the always on display 48 megapixel camera sensor and that brand new Apple watch the naming was a little off they didn't go with Apple watch Pro they went with Apple watch Ultra I'm curious where else that Ultra moniker will be used as Apple seems to be gearing that for its high-end products like M1 Ultra chip in the Mac Studio and now the Apple watch Ultra we'll dive even deeper on all these announcements on Friday's
