Apple iPhone 14 Lineup

Apple's announcement on Wednesday, September 7, 2022, gave us our first peek at the iPhone 14 lineup.

At the event, Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 series, which includes the:

1. iPhone 14
2. iPhone 14 Plus
3. iPhone 14 Pro
4. iPhone 14 Pro Max

The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are powered by the A15 Bionic chipset from last year, while the A16 Bionic processor powers the Pro variants. All four new iPhones will ship with iOS 16.

The word for these models is "extreme."

Apple iPhone 14 price would have always been on the higher end as Apple only launches one series of phones every year. Apple iPhone 14 is priced in Australia at AU $1,399(and above), with pre-orders beginning on September 9 and going on sale on September 16. The iPhone 14 Plus, on the other hand, will be priced at AU $1,579(and above) and will be on the market starting from October 7th.

The Apple iPhone 14 Pro has a starting price of AU $1,749; pre-orders begin September 9, and sales start September 16. The other variant, 14 Pro Max, on the other hand, costs AU $1,899 (and above); pre-orders start September 9, and sales begin September 16.

The iPhone 14 Pro versions have "Dynamic Island," with specially developed graphics and transitions that complement the device’s new pill-shaped design. When you get notifications and alerts, Dynamic Island grows. This iOS 16 innovation keeps you informed of all the information without diverting you from whatever you're doing.

According to Apple, Live Activities, a significant update on iOS 16's home screen, works "seamlessly with Dynamic Island." It includes third-party app compatibility.

Moreover, Live Activities keeps consumers up to date on what's going on in real time. It's a single, widget-style notice that can be refreshed in real-time. Sports applications, for example, will be benefited from Live Activities by keeping users updated on game scores.

Apple Watch Series 8

Apple has disclosed the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra, their latest wearable devices. The Series 8 also contains two additional motion sensors to identify whether you've been in a severe automobile accident.

Apple has also taken things a little up the notch and is now claiming that the Apple Watch Series 8 will help women understand their menstrual cycle better with the help built-in temperature sensor.

The watch can detect temperature changes as little as 0.1 degrees Celsius and monitor your body temperature every five seconds. The company claims that recording your body temperature overnight can provide information about women’s ovulatory cycle.

Apple also claims that anybody using Cycle Tracking would now receive an alert if their cycle is irregular, which might indicate "underlying health problems."

According to Apple, the accident detection mechanism will only activate when driving, preserving the watch's 18-hour battery life. Apple is also adding a low power mode, which increases the watch's battery life to 36 hours. The functionality will also be available on older devices beginning with the Series 4 watchOS 9.

Cellular roaming is also coming to previous watches, including the Series 8.

The aluminum Series 8 comes in four colors: midnight, starlight, silver, and red, while the stainless steel variant comes in silver, gold, and graphite.

You can start buying Apple Watch Series 8 from September 16, 2022, onwards. The price of the Apple Watch Series 8 in Australia would start from AU $629 for the GPS version and $789 for the GPS+Cellular version.

AirPods Pro 2nd Generation

Alongside iPhone 14 lineup and Apple Watch Series 8, the new AirPods Pro 2nd generation has also been announced!

One of the innovative features of the next-generation AirPods Pro is personalized spatial audio. "With iOS 16, you can utilize the TrueDepth camera on your iPhone to generate a customized spatial audio profile."

Spatial audio is a technology that enables you to hear the music as if you were in concert with the performer.

Moreover, personalized spatial audio takes things to a whole new level. It creates sound specifically tailored to you, depending on the size and structure of your head and ears!

According to Apple, the H1 chip advances to the H2, and updated drivers and processing deliver improved detail and clarity.

Spatial audio now has a customization option for improved surround, active noise cancellation, passive noise reduction, and mic noise cancellation. With really loud noises, adaptive transparency will perform better.

These AirPods Pro can be used for up to 6 hours in the earbuds and 30 hours in the case. The case is simpler to identify owing to a louder speaker.

It will now also support Qi charging. Apple has significantly improved the sound quality of the AirPods Pro 2, including new drivers, amplifiers, and vastly improved active noise cancellation - and the result is very striking.

Apple's New AirPods Pro 2 Improve Noise Cancellation and Sound.

The price of AirPods Pro 2 in Australia is AU$399, and they are available for presale on September 16 and will begin arriving on September 23.
