It's September, and that's when new Apple products are going to be. Today's event is the era of the iPhone 14. Fans will be able to choose between the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, as well as the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, with all of the latest hardware improvements you can get on an Apple device today. The Apple Watch Ultra is a more durable, outdoorsy version of the classic smartwatch, as well as a slightly updated version of the standard Apple Watch, Apple Watch SE and AirPods Pro. You'll be able to get your hands on all of these gadgets soon, so here is everything you need to know about how to pre-order.
Pre-order the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus on September 9th for $799 and $899. The Apple products will be available in stores on September 16th and October 7th.
Pre-order iPhone 14 at Apple - $799 Pre-order iPhone 14 Plus at Apple - $899Minor improvements over last year's iPhone 13 series can be found in the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. The 14 Plus has a 6.7-inch screen while the 14 has a 6.1-inch screen. Apple claims the iPhone 14 Plus has the best battery life of all the phones it has released. The front-facing camera has been updated to a 12MP TrueDepth shooter and the main camera has been upgraded to a 12MP main camera. Action Mode is a new feature that makes videos with a lot of movement look more stable and smooth.
Enhancements to eSIM capabilities are supported by the iPhone 14 models. You can use eSIM technology to connect to your cellular service provider if you don't have a physical sim tray. Crash detection, which can detect when you've been in a car crash and automatically contact emergency services on your behalf, is one of the new safety features. When you're in an outdoor dead zone, the latter will help you call for help. The feature will be free for two years for anyone who buys an Apple product.
Pre-order the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max on September 9th and they will be available for $999 and $1,099. On September 16th, they will be available in more places.
Pre-order iPhone 14 Pro at Apple - $999 Pre-order iPhone 14 Pro Max at Apple - $1,099The Pro phones have a completely different design. The screen notch is gone and replaced by a floating space that houses the front-facing cameras and Apple's privacy dots, which turn on when apps use your camera or microphone. It's called the "Dynamic Island" because it will change and expand to adapt to what you do on your phone.
The Pro Max has a larger screen than the Pro, and they're always on. Apple wanted the panel to be as power efficient as possible, so they adjusted the refresh rate to as low as 1hertz when needed.
The Pro handsets have an updated rear camera array along with a new TrueDepth front-facing camera. The rear setup includes a new 12MP telephoto lens, a 12MP ultra wide camera, and a 48MP main shooter that has a 65-percent larger sensor than the one in the iPhone 13 Pro. All of the new features on the standard iPhone 14 models will be supported by the Pro phones.
The Apple watch will cost $799. Beginning on September 23rd, it will be more widely available.
Buy Apple Watch Ultra at Apple - $799Water sport athletes, endurance trainers and avid outdoor adventurer are some of the people who will benefit from the new Apple watch. The watch has a larger crystal display that sits against the titanium case. The side of the case now has an orange action button that can be tailored to each user's preferences. The Digital Crown is larger and the other side button protrudes from the watch's edge to make it easier to use with gloves on.
The Apple Watch has been water resistant for quite some time, but the Ultra takes this up a notch with a built-in depth gauge that helps it be a tool for tracking scuba diving. The Ultra has a built-in siren that can alert others to your location from up to 600 feet away, as well as a redesign of the compass app to make it easier to use.
The biggest battery of any Apple Watch to date can be found in the Apple Watch Ultra. The company promises up to 36 hours of battery life on a single charge, and up to 60 hours of total battery life when using a "battery maximization setting".
The Apple Watch Series 8 will be available to order today at a starting price of $299 for theGPS-only models and $429 for theGPS + Cellular models. On September 16th, it will be more widely available. Three months of Apple Fitness+ will be free for those who purchase an Apple Watch.
Buy Apple Watch Series 8 at Apple - $399The Series 8 isn't a big departure from the Series 7. The Series 8 looks largely the same as the last year's model, but it now includes two temperature sensors that can help detect when you're sick, and Apple's new ovulation tracking features. The Health app on the watch will show you when you're likely to ovulate based on your temperature and cycle data, as well as alert you when you're likely to get pregnant. The Series 8 with watchOS 9 will include a new ovulation tracking feature.
Crash detection can be found on the Series 8 and Ultra. This builds upon the existing emergency services features found on previous generations: the Watch can detect when you've been in a car crash, and when it does, it will alert your emergency contact as well as contact emergency services and send them your location.
The Series 7 has an always-on display that reaches almost to the border of the case and is dust-proof. There is still an all-day, 18-hour battery life, but it will also have a new low-power mode that can extend battery life up to 36 hours in total. Those with older Watches will be able to use low-power mode on the Apple Watch Series 4 and higher.

The second-gen AirPods Pro will be available to order on September 9th. On September 23rd, they will be more widely available.
Buy AirPods Pro (2nd gen) at Apple - $249You might be disappointed if you were hoping for a different AirPods. Most of the changes in the new AirPods Pro are internal.

The new buds now support touch controls and have a longer base listening time of six hours.
