After all the speculations and rumours, Apple has announced 3 new products - iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods; iPad and Mac fans will have to wait longer.

Here is a brief on all the new products, their specs and most importantly, PRICES:

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus

• A sad day for small phone lovers like me; there is no more new iPhone mini. 
• The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus come with a new dual-camera system, a crash detection system and a larger size.
• If you are the lucky ones in the US and Canada, your iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will come with a satellite connectivity feature. Now, even if there is no cellular connectivity, iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus users will be able to send SOS alerts. It is definitely a life-saver if you get stranded in the most unimaginable of places. And it is free for 2 years. 

iPhone 14 gets Emergency SOS via satellite? When pointed directly at a satellite with a clear view of the sky, you can send messages with no cellular connection. There’s UI to show you exactly where to point your phone so you hit a satellite

iPhone 14 is also the reason, this meme below is going viral again. Even Steve Jobs's daughter, Eve Jobs, shared the meme. 

iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max 

The Pro is here. And the notch is different. It's not gone but it's different and… smaller? To be accurate, the notch is now more of a pill and a hole, which keeps transforming. It's a usable space with a purpose. And Apple calls it… the 'Dynamic Island'. No, we are not making that up, it's what the new notch is called now. 

Try using 'Dynamic Island' in your everyday language now. 

• The notch… no sorry, the 'Dynamic Island', will now show alerts, album art, controls etc.
• The iPhone 14 Pro also comes with an always-on display with a new look. Interesting! 
• The iPhone 14 Pro comes with A16 Bionic chipset and has the brightest display in the market. 
• iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage. So go on clicking those photos without a care in the world. 

PRICES: iPhone 14 Pro starts at Rs 1,29,900; while iPhone 14 Pro Max starts at Rs 1,39,900

Size: iPhone 14 Pro comes with a 6.1-inch display; iPhone 14 Pro Max comes with a 6.7-inch display

Apple Watch Series 8

• The latest Apple Watch Series 8 comes with temperature sensors, a car crash detection system and a low power mode alert.
• The temperature sensor is not for tracking fever instead it allows women to track their ovulation cycle. This can reportedly help those trying to conceive a baby! Not sure if this update will be troublesome for users in the US with anti-abortion laws.  

PRICE: Rs 45,900

Apple Watch Ultra

There were rumours of Apple launching a Watch series specifically meant for extreme sports/activities. Those rumours were true.

These are all the new products launched by Apple. Sadly, one of our wishful thoughts that Apple include a USB-C charging portal did not come true. With all the pressure from Europe and Brazil slapping a fine for not including chargers, this should have been rolled out too. 

Those who were waiting for the latest Mac or iPad will have to wait till October.
