What are the highlights of this year’s press conference?
Significantly upgraded iPhone 14 Pro series:
If there are no surprises, Apple will launch the new iPhone 14 at this press conference, but the standard version may not be the star of the year. The ones that are really expected to be significantly upgraded are the iPhone 14 Pro and ProMax. The iPhone 14 Pro and ProMax are expected to usher in the following three new features: a custom screen display; a 48-megapixel rear camera with a larger sensor; and a smaller camera opening instead of a notch design.
It is expected that the iPhone 14 Pro will also be upgraded to the A16 processor and will be released in two new colors: blue and dark purple. Rumor has it that both devices will support 30-watt chargers (but the phones themselves may still not come with a USB-C port), and the minimum RAM will be upgraded to 256GB from the previous 128GB. Additionally, the Pro model could also use thinner bezels and a larger battery. However, it is precisely because of the integration of so many new features that Apple has the potential to increase the price of high-end iPhones.
New Apple Watch Pro:
According to reports, Apple is preparing to launch three new Apple Watch models: WatchSeries 8. The new version of SE prepares a ruggedized Pro model for lovers of extreme sports.
Apple Watch Pro will be the protagonist of Apple’s Apple Watch product line this year, and it is reported that it will be equipped with a “screen close to 2 inches” and be highly impact-resistant. The product will also be used. “Rigid metal casing” instead of the rumored rubber frame. According to reports, the Pro model could feature a flat-edge display with a larger 47mm bezel, larger than the 41mm and 45mm bezels of the previous Apple Watch Series 7. Also, this new product may not fit the old one. Watch strap.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple will offer customers a variety of new straps to suit the extreme sports theme. Gurman expects a “somewhat information-dense” watch face on the larger 49mm Pro model, which will allow athletes to view a wider range of fitness and health metrics than the other, more watch faces, the Apple Watch.
Apple Watch Pro leaked on the Internet
The new generation of AirPodsPro:
Analyst Guo Ming revealed that AirPods Pro will support lossless audio, which is very attractive to users who value sound quality. The first product of the AirPods Pro 2 will use the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) – a feature not even supported by the high-end AirPods Max. In order to ensure the transmission quality, current Bluetooth headsets usually compress the sound quality. If it is a Bluetooth headset, AirPodsPro2 really supports ALAC, so it is worth looking forward to how Apple successfully breaks through the limitations of Bluetooth headsets.
But some media reports suggest that Apple may have a different solution. The company will likely add support for Bluetooth 5. With support for 2, the technology uses a new decoder to improve the efficiency of audio transmission for better sound quality or lower power consumption. A recent update to the Bluetooth SIG product database shows that Apple may update Apple’s AirPods Pro to use this technology in the middle, and that the technology could also be mentioned in code 16 for iOS.
The charging case of AirPodsPro2 can also be upgraded. It can have a small speaker built in for users to use. The “FindMy” app makes a sound when it looks for the charging case. Currently there is only one. AirPods itself can make sound, and if it can support this function on the charging box, it can really provide convenience when the earphones are separated from the charging box.
In addition, Apple may release the iOS 16RC version (quasi-official version) at this event, and announce the release time of the official version of iOS 16.
