As time comes to September, Apple’s annual fall launch naturally follows.
On August 25, Apple sent invitations to the world, officially announcing the launch time as September 8 at 1 a.m. Beijing time. As usual, Apple will update some of its product lines, including the highly anticipated iPhone 14 series.
From the current product line, the AirPods Pro series, iPad series, and MacBook Pro series are also facing a new round of updates.
However, according to Apple’s previous rhythm, these products are expected to be released in phases, and only a few of them will be updated this time. On the eve of the launch, breaking information is flying around, and I have summarized the information of a few of the most likely products to be released, so let’s take a look around.
The first product to be released is naturally the iPhone 14 series. As a high-end series of Apple cell phones, each time will be launched mini version, standard version, Pro version, Pro Max version, this year is not expected to have a mini version, but to increase the Max version, respectively, 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches.
The new purple color scheme is added to the exterior design, and the bangs screen is abandoned in favor of the “exclamation point” design, which can be displayed as “pill-shaped” when in use; the configuration, the Pro series uses the A16 chip, while the standard and Max versions use the A15 chip.
The main rear camera is upgraded to 48 megapixels, which may usher in a huge breakthrough in the image level; the battery capacity of the Pro series will also be improved, and the charging power is expected to break through to 30W.
The second product expected to be released is the iPad 10. Based on the previous generation’s configuration, the iPad 10 will use the same A14 chip as the iPhone 12 series, complete with the usual updates in performance.
The appearance is expected to remain unchanged, retaining the traditional home button, headphone jack and other designs; as for the screen size, battery capacity and charging power, there is not too much information on the explosion.
I thought that the iPad 10 should be a regular iteration of the update, and will not have too many changes.
The third product that may be released is AirPods Pro 2. Since the last generation of AirPods Pro was released, it has been nearly three years since the time to update the product line.
The exterior design will remain basically the same, and the configuration will feature a new H2 chip, skin detection sensors from the third generation of AirPods, and advanced biometric sensors that will not only enable a better audio experience, but may also have fitness tracking capabilities.
At the same time, the charging case will also face an upgrade this time, users can make it sound through the phone remote control to make it easy to find the location of the charging case.
The fourth is the Apple Watch 8, the appearance remains the same 41 mm and 45 mm dial size, may be added to the color scheme.
With the new S8 chip built in, the battery life is expected to be further enhanced; the new temperature sensor will allow users to measure body temperature and monitor conditions such as fever, improving the health monitoring system of the smartwatch.
The above four products are the most likely new products to be launched at this conference. From the currently exposed configuration, the iPhone 14 series is more or less upgraded in terms of appearance, performance, image, and battery life.
One of the most anticipated is naturally the improvement of the image level, which may make the iPhone 14 series of video shooting to a higher level, thus stimulating the public’s image creation power.
The characteristics of AirPods Pro 2, on the other hand, lie in the integration of health monitoring technology, which may be able to provide new ideas for the development of the TWS industry. As for iPad Pro and MacBook Pro, the release may be postponed to October.
Limited by the launch time, product positioning differences, supply chain and other circumstances, Apple will generally delay the release of MacBook Pro, iPad Pro. The new iPad Pro should be equipped with M2 chip to achieve the upgrade of performance and raw power.
The MacBook Pro will be released at the same time as the M2 Pro, M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips, but since the performance of the previous generation of M1 series chips was better, this upgrade is not expected to be too big, and may focus on functional experience improvement.
Of course, the software outside the hardware is also crucial. At the Apple launch event on September 8, iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 are expected to be released and pushed to the majority of users at the same time, bringing a new system experience.
