Apple Event and Products, Quick Summary
Get the gist of all things new at this year’s Apple event.
The beginning of September is a special time for fall lovers and apple connoisseurs. Apple held its Far Out event yesterday, unveiling the new iPhone 14 and AirPods Pro 2.
There’s always a lot of discussion about whether iPhones are worth purchasing or upgrading. This year, there’s a bit more emphasis on the smallest details. Here are a few highlights:
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are the show stealers. The much-feared notch has been replaced by what Apple refers to as Dynamic Island. The notch replacement consolidates your notifications, alerts, and activities. Other features include an always-on display that keeps your lock screen “always glanceable,” crash detection calls, a 4x-the-resolution camera, and new colorways that include “deep purple” and “space black.”
You won’t get a Dynamic Island with the iPhone 14, but you will be able to take better low-light photos and use the same safety features as the Pro. If you want a tablet-like phone but cannot afford the Pro Max, the iPhone 14 Plus is less expensive but has fewer features. As usual, Apple’s base iPhone is available in a broader range of colors.
