APPLE has unveiled new super advanced devices to take user experience to the next level.
At a prestigious event hosted on Wednesday, 7 September, the company revealed the new iPhone 14 line-up and three new stunning Apple Watches.
The long-rumoured Apple Watch Ultra and the next generation of AirPod Pro earbuds were also unveiled at the event.
All eyes were on the much-anticipated iPhone 14, which made news long before its unveiling.
According to the Verge, the new device does not come with too many upgrades over the iPhone 13, as they both come equipped with the A15-series chip.
To keep the excitement going, Apple also introduced the new iPhone 14 Plus, which boasts a 6.7-inch display.
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have notable new upgrades such as:
- An upgraded 12-megapixel main camera sensor
- 12-megapixel TrueDepth selfie camera with autofocus
- A much-improved battery life
The entire iPhone 14 line-up can detect a severe car crash, then call 911 and notify your emergency contacts.
To ensure that the product keeps up with high-performance devices on the market, Apple also introduced iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max which are powered by A16 Bionic, the fastest chip ever in a smartphone.
The Pro flagship introduces a new class of camera system with the first-ever 48MP main camera.
It has camera features such as a quad-pixel sensor and Photonic Engine, which is an enhanced image pipeline that dramatically improves low-light photos.
