Apple's most anticipated event of the year - the fall presentation of the new generation of Apple smartphones - has just ended.
Many parameters of the devices, their quantity and price were known almost 100% in advance thanks to leaks, leaks and analysts' opinions.
We also had time to share our predictions on the eve of the fall event.
On topic: Try to guess what Apple will show on September 7, 2022
Tim Cook announced the plan for the upcoming presentation for the first time and revealed all the secrets right away. Today, the only things to look forward to were the new iPhones, AirPods and Apple Watch.
1. Apple Watch Series 8 with thermometer and car accident detection system.
The first new product to be introduced was the improved Watch, the story of which began with grateful appeals from users. People from different countries told heartwarming stories of how the Apple Watch helped them in difficult situations and even saved lives.
The main innovation of the new watch is the body temperature sensor. It allows you to take measurements with a certain frequency to gather maximum statistics about the user. The thermometer can work at most once every 5 seconds.
All data collected by the watch will be stored only on your device and will not be shared with third parties. I hope that previous versions of the Apple Watch were also able to do this.
Special attention was paid to the monitoring of menstrual cycles. Such information has long been collected by the health app, and now this data is supplemented with many more statistics.
● Two new sensors in the Apple Watch 8 will enable accurate recording of traffic accidents and incidents. The device will even be able to detect the type of accident and notify the user's loved ones via iPhone.
● The watch will feature a new power-saving mode that will allow it to run for up to 36 hours with minimal functions. The feature is software-based and will appear on all models starting with the Apple Watch 4.

●The younger iPhone 14 is the same size as the iPhone 13 with a 6.1-inch display, while the older iPhone 14 Plus has a 6.7-inch display.
●The Apple A15 processor from last year will be responsible for the devices' performance. However, better performance is promised thanks to the new arrangement of elements.
● The main camera module has been improved. It can capture 49% more light on the sensor. There is a new stabilization mode, Action Mode, for video recording.
● The 12-megapixel front camera has received a minor update and an improved focusing system.
● The iPhone 14 is sold in the U.S. without a physical SIM card slot.

6. iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with camouflaged edges and 48-megapixel camera
As usual, the most eagerly awaited new product was saved for the end of the presentation. It was a pair of new "Prosciences" with the index 14.
●From the first seconds of the demonstration, it was obvious that the Cupertines have heavily redesigned the iPhone 14 Pro's interface to hide the cutout for the new front camera as much as possible.
The top of the display now shows new notifications, an indicator to trigger Face ID, a timer, a banner for new incoming calls, and more. All to hide the new cutout that replaced the fringe.
● Customization of this area will also be possible for third-party app developers.
●The regular iPhone 14 Pro has a 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max model has a 6.7-inch screen.

● The camera of the devices has been significantly improved. The sensor now has 48 megapixels and can capture twice as much light.
● A new 2x telephoto mode has been added when taking photos, which is much better than the previous zoom of the iPhone 13 Pro series.
●The ultra-wide-angle lens and TV lens have been slightly improved. They are still 12-megapixel sensors with improved aperture.
Pre-orders will be available from September 9, and the sales launch is scheduled for September 16.
🛒 Prices for the iPhone 14 Pro start at $999 in the US. The 14 Pro Max model will be available starting at $1099.
