Apple iPhone 12 vs Apple iPhone 14: Detailed specs comparison

by
Apple iPhone 12 vs Apple iPhone 14
  • iPhone 14 and iPhone 12 are two generations apart but very similar in design.
  • Both phones have a ceramic glass covering their displays and are IP68 certified.
  • The new model uses 25W charging as opposed to the iPhone 12’s 20W.

Recently, the iPhone 14 series launched on sale in all countries, giving customers access to Apple’s newest innovations.

The iPhone 14 is quite identical to the company’s previous generation model, even though the Pro, Plus, and Max models receive good updates.

Even yet, if you don’t want to spend a lot of money on a new iPhone this year, the A15 bionic chip and the tiny form size make it an attractive option.

Does it make sense to spend more money and upgrade to the new iPhone 14 model if you are already using an iPhone model like the iPhone 12?

In this comparison of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 12, we attempt to provide an answer.

Design

Despite being two generations apart, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 12 have several design features in common.

It is obvious that Apple is not making much of an effort to set the new model apart from its predecessors, at least not for the basic iPhone model.

For instance, both the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 12 maintain the same basic design. The aluminum frame and glass front and rear of the two phones are identical.

iPhone 14 actually has the same unsightly display notch on the front as earlier versions. Notably, the notch on the iPhone 14 is a little bit less than the one on the iPhone 12.

Both phones come in a variety of colors. The colors of the iPhone 12 were Black, White, Red, Green, Blue, and Purple.

iPhone 14 adds Midnight and Starlight colors to the previously stated ones but does not offer the green option.

Both phones have a ceramic glass covering their displays and are IP68 certified.

Even their sizes are strikingly similar. The body of the iPhone 14 measures 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.8mm, while the body of the iPhone 12 is 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.4mm.

As you can see, both models have the exact same length and width, with the exception of the current model’s modest increase in thickness.

The iPhone 14 weighs 172 grams as opposed to the iPhone 12’s 164 grams, making it significantly heavier.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro experiences network & charging issues

by
Apple iPhone 14 Pro network & charging issues
  • The iPhone 14 Pro series has had its fair share of glitches and other issues.
  • A new bug causes the iPhone to restart when charging and even cause issues with network connectivity.
  • Both MagSafe wireless charging and lightning cable charging for the iPhone 14 Pro versions will cause a restart.

The Apple iPhone 14 series has been in the news since its release for a number of glitches and other problems.

The most recent versions now discuss a bug that causes the 2022 iPhone to restart when charging and even causes issues with network connectivity.

Let’s have a look.

We previously highlighted information about problems the iPhone 14 Pro series models were having with some fundamental system programs, notably iMessage.

Users of the iPhone 14 Pro series now seem to be having greater problems with a variety of other features as well.

This includes issues with the Dynamic Island function as well as the performance of satellite phones.

In addition, Verizon customers who utilize the iPhone 14 Pro are reporting very poor 5G signals and other network coverage concerns.

Both of these standout features were highlighted during the iPhone 14 series introduction by the Cupertino-based company.

But the bugs don’t end there; the new Apple flagship phones also have a significant problem with charging.

Both MagSafe wireless charging and lightning cable charging for the iPhone 14 Pro versions will cause a restart.

Since battery life issues have affected Apple iPhones since the release of iOS 16, this is not the only fault with the new iPhone’s battery.

Although there is currently no formal statement for it, the bug is not impacting everyone.

Online, there is an unofficial remedy that involves turning off background app refresh.

To find this, go to Settings, choose the General tab, go to the Background App Refresh option, and then select it.

Apple dismisses plan to raise iPhone production as demand declines

by
Apple dismisses plan to raise iPhone production
  • Apple has decided against increasing the manufacturing of the devices this year.
  • Suppliers were told to scale back plans to raise production of its premium iPhone 14 product line.
  • Instead, Apple plans to make 90 million devices for the time period.

After the predicted jump in demand for its new iPhones did not occur, Apple has decided against increasing manufacturing of the devices this year, a global media outlet claimed on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the situation.

According to the media site, the company instructed suppliers to scale back plans to raise production of its premium iPhone 14 product line by up to 6 million units in the second half of this year.

Instead, the company with its headquarters in Cupertino, California, plans to make 90 million devices for the time period, roughly the same as a year ago and in accordance with Apple’s first prediction this summer, according to the source.

As a result of the greater demand for the more expensive iPhone 14 Pro models compared to the entry-level devices, at least one Apple supplier is switching production capacity from cheaper iPhones to premium models.

As the tech giant shifts some of its production away from China, Apple announced this week that it would begin producing the iPhone 14, which was introduced earlier this month, in India.

Apple iPhone 14 prices in Pakistan; Import vs Local buy

by
Apple iPhone 14 prices in Pakistan
  • A 128 GB iPhone 14 can be purchased for about Rs. 381,999 in Pakistan.
  • The cost of importing an iPhone 14 will be around Rs. 274,541.
  • Depending on the vendor, you might have to pay for shipping.

At the moment, import tariffs in Pakistan are exorbitantly expensive, whether it be for automobiles, laptops, GPUs, or other goods.

This is the primary cause of Pakistan’s worsening smartphone price trends over time.

This month, Apple’s new iPhones arrived in Pakistan, and the local prices are as outrageous as you might anticipate.

The current exchange rate for a basic iPhone 14 is $799, which is equal to Rs. 192,343. On Telemart and other online shops, a 128 GB iPhone 14 can be purchased for about Rs. 381,999 in Pakistan.

But what would it cost for you to import an iPhone? Is it cheaper than purchasing a phone locally? Now that we have verified import tax data from FBR, we can finally respond to these queries.

These mobile phone import taxes were taken directly from an FBR document that was leaked.

Note: Mobile Levy = ML, Withholding Tax = WHT, Sales Tax = ST, and Regulatory Duty = RD.

  • Up to $30: RD (Rs. 300), ST (Rs. 200), WHT (Rs. 100) ML (Rs. 100)
  • $30 to $100: RD (Rs. 3,000), ST (Rs. 200), WHT (Rs. 100), ML (Rs. 200)
  • $100 to $200: RD (Rs. 7,500), ST (Rs. 1,680), WHT (Rs. 930), ML (Rs. 600)
  • $200 to $350: RD (Rs. 11,000), ST (17% of base USD value), WHT (Rs. 970), ML (Rs. 1,800)
  • $350 to $500: RD (Rs. 15,000), ST (17% of base USD value), WHT (Rs. 5,000), ML (Rs. 4,000)
  • $500 to $700: RD (Rs. 22,000), ST (17% of base USD value), WHT (Rs. 11,500), ML (Rs. 8,000)
  • Above $700: RD (Rs. 22,000), ST (17% of base USD value), WHT (Rs. 11,500), ML (Rs. 16,000)

These calculations suggest that the cost of importing a 128 GB iPhone 14 will be around Rs. 274,541. Following is a breakdown:

(RD) Rs. 22,000 + ST (17% of 192,343 = Rs. 32,698) + WHT (Rs. 11,500) + ML (Rs. 16,000) + phone value ($799 = Rs. 192,343). All of this adds up to Rs. 274,541, which is more than Rs. 100,000 lower than the local price.

Here is a comparison of the costs for every iPhone 14 model:

iPhone 14 and 14 Plus

Model Import Local Purchase
128 GB iPhone 14 Rs. 274,541 Rs. 381,999
256 GB iPhone 14 Rs. 302,707 Rs. 404,999
512 GB iPhone 14 Rs. 359,037 Rs. 454,999
128 GB iPhone 14 Plus Rs. 302,707 Rs. 499,999
256 GB iPhone 14 Plus Rs. 330,872 Rs. 529,999
512 GB iPhone 14 Plus Rs. 387,203 Rs. 569,999

iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max

Model Import Local Purchase
128 GB iPhone 14 Pro Rs. 330,872 Rs. 464,999
256 GB iPhone 14 Pro Rs. 359,037 Rs. 479,999
512 GB iPhone 14 Pro Rs. 415,368 Rs. 549,999
1 TB iPhone 14 Pro Rs. 471,699 Rs. 609,999
128 GB iPhone 14 Pro Max Rs. 359,037 Rs. 539,999
256 GB iPhone 14 Pro Max Rs. 387,203 Rs. 569,999
512 GB iPhone 14 Pro Max Rs. 443,534 Rs. 609,999
1 TB iPhone 14 Pro Max Rs. 499,865 Rs. 669,999

Since these costs were derived from US models, imported phones from other countries may have somewhat different costs.

It is also important to note that by paying these taxes, you will automatically receive PTA’s approval and won’t have to pay an additional cost.

The handsets’ final pricing are the import prices previously specified. Depending on the vendor, you might have to pay for shipping, but you can also arrange for someone to send it to you from abroad.

Please take note that you will not be required to pay withholding taxes on a phone that is transported as personal luggage.

Apple begins iPhone 14 production in India

by
Apple begins iPhone 14 production
  • Apple has officially begun manufacturing the iPhone 14 in India.
  • It will take a few weeks before clients can receive the Indian-made product.
  • Apple will save import fees and taxes by manufacturing the new iPhone 14 domestically.

Apple has officially announced that it has begun producing the iPhone 14 in India.

The newest iPhone model, which was just introduced, is the first to be made in the nation shortly after its release.

The Foxconn factory close to Chennai is where the smartphone is produced.

Since several years ago, Apple has been contract manufacturing four different iPhone models in India with the help of its business partners.

However, a quarter or two after its debut, the phone production cycles were delayed.

Apple will save import fees and taxes by manufacturing the new iPhone 14 domestically, but the brand won’t lower the smartphone’s price in the country, as it hasn’t done with the prior versions either.

Foxconn is a global leader in the production of electronics.

The ‘Made in India’ label will appear on the iPhone 14 when it is sold both domestically and internationally.

However, it will take a few weeks before clients can receive the Indian-made product.

“We’re excited to be manufacturing iPhone 14 in India,” Apple said in a statement.

“The new iPhone 14 lineup introduces groundbreaking new technologies and important safety capabilities.”

In a previous report, JP Morgan predicted that Apple would shift 5 percent of the manufacturing of the iPhone 14 to India by the end of 2022 and 25 percent of the total production of iPhones to the country by 2025.

Apple AirPods Pro 2 gets firmware update

by
Apple AirPods Pro 2 gets firmware update
  • The first software update for the Apple AirPods Pro 2 TWS earphones has been released.
  • Release notes for the updated firmware claim that it contains bug fixes and “other improvements”.
  • There is no conventional method to manually install the upgrades.

The first software update for the Apple AirPods Pro 2 TWS earphones, which were introduced earlier this month and put on sale yesterday, has been released.

Although the release notes for the updated firmware, which has version number 5A377, claim that it contains bug fixes and “other improvements,” we are unsure of which issues this update fixes and what else is enhanced.

There is no conventional method to manually install the upgrades, so you’ll have to wait till the update arrives on your AirPods.

Firmware updates on the AirPods are typically provided when they are charging and within Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Make sure your iPhone or iPad is running the most recent OS version, open the Settings app, and navigate to Bluetooth > AirPods if you are unsure of what firmware your AirPods have.

To find the firmware version, hit the “More Info” button, which is symbolized by the letter ‘i’ and then scroll down to the “About” section.

Option-click the Apple menu’s Apple logo on a Mac and select “System Information.” Look under your AirPods for the firmware version by clicking “Bluetooth” right now.

Apple to produce 25% of iPhones in India by 2025

by
Apple iPhones
  • Apple may produce one out of every four iPhones in India by 2025.
  • India is the second-largest smartphone market in the world after China.
  • Apple started assembling iPhones there in 2017 with Wistron and later with Foxconn.

According to J.P. Morgan analysts, Apple may produce one out of every four iPhones in India by 2025 as it shifts some production away from China due to rising geopolitical tensions and stringent COVID-19 lockdowns in that nation.

India, the second-largest smartphone market in the world after China, is predicted by the brokerage to receive around 5% of Apple’s iPhone 14 manufacturing starting in late 2022.

Additionally, it predicts that by 2025, from 5% today, approximately 25% of all Apple products, including Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods, would be produced outside of China.

Apple, based in Cupertino, California, has placed a significant wager on India since it started assembling iPhones there in 2017 with Wistron and later with Foxconn, in keeping with the Indian government’s goal for domestic manufacturing.

Business supply chain relocation plans were impeded by the pandemic, but now that limitations have been relaxed, more firms, including Apple, are stepping up their efforts this year.

“Taiwanese suppliers like Hon Hai and Pegatron are crucial to the move to India. Additionally, we anticipate Apple will evaluate domestic manufacturers in India in the medium- to long-term,” according to J.P.Morgan analysts under the direction of Gokul Hariharan, whose rating for estimate accuracy is a 4 out of 5.

In line with Apple’s intentions to reduce its manufacturing gap with China, a Bloomberg story from earlier this month said that the Indian giant Tata Group was in discussions with Wistron to form a joint venture to produce iPhones there.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro camera shakes with 3rd party apps; details

by
Apple iPhone 14 Pro camera shakes
  • The new iPhone 14 Pro series has a 48-megapixel primary camera for better fluid video capture.
  • However, some apps such as Instagram and Snapchat are having issues with the OIS system.
  • This makes videos that have been shot and posted on social media unusable.

Recently, Apple announced the eagerly awaited iPhone 14 series.

However, Apple appears that things didn’t go as well as expected since the new iPhone models have some difficulties with standard system applications like FaceTime and iMessage.

According to a recent claim, the higher-end Pro models’ cameras are also affected by a flaw.

Numerous people have reported having problems with their new iPhone 14 Pro series cameras, according to a report.

For those who are unaware, the 48-megapixel primary camera on the back of the iPhone 14 Pro series includes an Action Mode for more fluid video capture.

However, it appears that some applications developed by third parties are having trouble utilizing this upgraded camera sensor.

Currently, a number of 2022 iPhone customers have reported that using well-known social media apps like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat causes the camera module to shake.

The camera problem gives the videos an unsteady, jerky appearance.

This makes these videos that have been shot and posted on social media useless. Additionally, posts on the same flaw are being posted on Reddit as a result of complaints about this problem.

The OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) system’s trembling is now thought to be the main cause of this problem.

Notably, the problem doesn’t affect the base iPhone 14 model because it employs an older OIS system as opposed to Apple’s new 48-megapixel primary camera, which uses second-generation Sensor-Shift OIS technology.

by
Apple launches iOS 16.0.1
  • Apple is said to have made an iOS 16.0.1 upgrade available only for the most recent iPhone 14 series.
  • The new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models’ activation and migration are reportedly affected by problems that the update is supposed to fix.
  • A stable upgrade might be made available to registered users by the end of the month.

This week, Apple released the iOS 16 upgrade for a few selected older iPhone models as well as the freshly released iPhone 14 series.

Now, the Cupertino behemoth is said to have made an iOS 16.0.1 upgrade available only for the most recent iPhone 14 series.

The new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models’ activation and migration are reportedly affected by problems that the update is supposed to fix.

The company has released the first beta version of iOS 16.1 for registered developers. Next month might see the introduction of the stable upgrade.

Starting on September 16, customers can purchase the new iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and top-tier iPhone 14 Pro Max models.

According to a report by an international tech website, Apple just days after releasing iOS 16 on Monday, September 12, released the iOS 16.0.1 update for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models.

According to the claim, which used iOS 16.0.1’s release notes as support, the update contains improvements for problems preventing the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro from being activated and migrated.

According to reports, the update resolves problems with images on iPhone 14 Pro Max appearing soft when zoomed in landscape mode.

According to the latest update, problems that prevent enterprise single sign-on apps from authenticating will also be fixed.

The most recent update might be ready to install while the new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro models are being set up.

On Wednesday, Apple updated several of the features in iOS 16.1 beta 1 for the iPhone.

The update allows users to remove the Apple Wallet app and adds a battery % indication to the status bar for all iPhone models.

The update adds a Clean Energy Charging option and supports the Matter smart home accessories.

A stable upgrade might be made available to registered users by the end of the month.

Starting on September 16, the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be available for purchase.

On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Plus is anticipated to ship on October 7.

Apple iPhone 14 series to feature 6GB RAM

by
Apple iPhone 14 series to feature 6GB RAM
  • Apple’s iPhone 14 series is said to have more RAM than the entire iPhone 13 lineup
  • Compared to the iPhone 13, this represents an overall memory improvement of 50%.
  • The company essentially added more memory modules for both the new iPhone 14 Plus model and the iPhone 14.

Recently, the Apple iPhone 14 series was unveiled for the international market. The highly anticipated 2022 iPhone series debuted with a number of upgrades from the previous model.

According to a recent source, one of these improvements also included memory. Let’s have a look, then.

The current iPhone 14 series, which includes the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max, is said to have more RAM than the entire iPhone 13 lineup, according to a MacRumors report.

The current Xcode 14 beta, according to the claim, has files that show that all of the new iPhones have 6GB of RAM.

Compared to the iPhone 13, this represents an overall memory improvement of 50%.

For those who are unaware, the base model and the tiny model only had 4GB of RAM. Only the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max have 6GB of RAM.

In other words, the company essentially added more memory modules for both the new iPhone 14 Plus model and the iPhone 14.

Notably, the company’s IDE for creating programs for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS is Xcode 14.

Therefore, the report’s main finding is that, for non-Pro versions, the new iPhones have, on average, 2GB more RAM than the previous generation.

Although the RAM size was made public in Xcode, it is still unclear what the memory module standards are. In other words, it’s not apparent if these have the newest LPDDR5 memory or a previous version.

Tata Group in discussions with Wistron to produce iPhones

by
Tata Group in discussions with Wistron
  • Tata Group and Taiwanese supplier Wistron discussing a joint venture to manufacture iPhones in India.
  • Apple has placed a significant wager on India since it started assembling iPhones there in 2017.
  • Tatas may eventually own a portion of Wistro’s manufacturing operations in addition to cellphones.

The establishment of a joint venture to construct Apple’s iPhones in India is being discussed by the Indian conglomerate Tata Group and the Taiwanese supplier Wistron Corp, according to a report from an international news publication on Friday.

The publication noted, citing people with knowledge of the situation, “The project would be the Indian salt-to-software group’s latest push into technology production as it uses Wistron’s experience in product development, supply chain, and assembly.”

Apple, based in Cupertino, California, has placed a significant wager on India since it started assembling iPhones there in 2017 with Wistron and later with Foxconn, in keeping with the Indian government’s goal for domestic manufacturing.

It wasn’t immediately clear from the story whether Apple was informed of the discussions.

The idea may see the Tata group purchasing shares in Wistron’s India operations, the two businesses constructing a new assembly plant, or both actions being carried out, according to the article.

Although the deal’s specifics are still being worked out, the publication said that Tatas may eventually own a portion of Wistron’s manufacturing operations in addition to cellphones.

Apple fans to pay more for iPhone 14 in Asia

by
Apple fans to pay more for iPhone 14
  • Apple maintains iPhone prices in the US while increasing them in some Asian countries where the dollar has fallen in value.
  • Japanese customers will pay 20% more for entry-level iPhone 14 than they did for iPhone 13.
  • Apple’s Greater China quarterly revenue decreased by 1% from April to June.

On Wednesday, Apple Inc. maintained its latest iPhone’s prices in the US while increasing them in some Asian nations where the dollar has fallen in value in recent months.

Customers in Japan, where the yen has fallen 24% since September, will pay 20% more for the entry-level iPhone 14 than they did for the iPhone 13, which cost 99,800 Yen ($692.81) when it was released a year ago.

In Japan, the price of the iPhone 13 is presently 107,800 yen. After the Yen declined earlier this year, Apple increased the model’s price by almost a fifth to 117,800 Yen.

According to Credit Suisse analysts, the strongest risk to Apple’s earnings is the strength of the dollar.

In the US and Europe, there is still a high level of demand for Apple products, but given recent price rises and the country’s limited subsidies, pressure is likely to be mounting in Japan.

Apple’s stock was trading marginally lower as the market as a whole fell.

However, despite a 7% decline in the value of the currency, Apple nonetheless priced the iPhone 14 at 5,999 Yuan ($862.42) in China, its second-largest market after the United States.

Apple should be prepared for a decline in demand in China, where the economy has been damaged by a string of COVID-19 lockdowns that have reduced consumer spending, according to analysts.

Following a string of profitable quarters in the region, Apple’s Greater China quarterly revenue decreased by 1% from April to June.

The iPhone 13 is now accessible for 5,399 Yuan in China, where the business had previously announced reductions on iPhones.

Samsung banters at Apple’s ‘Far Out’ event

by
Samsung at Apple ‘Far Out’ event
  • Samsung mocked Apple’s new iPhone 14 series on its official Twitter account.
  • The South Korean tech giant is the market leader in the foldable smartphone category.
  • Samsung also made fun of Apple’s boxy watch designs, calling them “a little boxy, but nice”.

Following the “Far Out” event, which marked the introduction of the new iPhone 14 series, rival tech giant Apple was mocked by Samsung on its social media channel.

Let us know when it folds, the official Twitter account of Samsung Mobile US wrote in a tweet mocking the firm for not launching a foldable phone.

Samsung is the market leader in the foldable smartphone category, despite Apple having yet to release one.

However, a number of cryptic tweets from Samsung Mobile US’s official account appeared to criticize Apple’s iPhone 14 series.

Samsung also made fun of Apple’s boxy watch designs, saying the firm favored circular watches since they are “classic.”

“Nice. A little boxy, but nice. We prefer a round shape ourselves. Classic” tweets were posted by the Samsung Mobile US account.

Despite not yet having a foldable phone on the market, various publications have reported that Apple is working on one.

Over the years, Samsung has established a custom of making fun of Apple during or after its flagship events.

The South Korean manufacturer poked fun at Apple in a previous unveiling after it eliminated the headphone jack from its phones.

Even after Apple chose to cease distributing chargers with phones, the ridiculing of the notch persisted.

Apple announces new ‘Crash Detection’ feature; details here

by
apple ‘crash detection’ feature
  • Apple has unveiled the Crash Detection function for iPhone 14 series and Watch Series 8.
  • The emergency services interface will show up on both devices after a serious automobile crash.
  • Apple claims its algorithm has been trained on more than 1 million hours of actual driving and crash data from crash test facilities.

Apple presented its highly anticipated flagship iPhone 14 series at yesterday night’s “Far Out” event. The Cupertino-based business also announced the Watch Series 8.

For the recently revealed devices, the company also unveiled a brand-new function called Crash Detection.

Apple claims that while it expects consumers won’t require the feature, it should provide them with a sense of security while driving.

Notably, Google has long provided auto accident detection on its Pixel smartphones.

In the event of a car crash, the Crash Detection feature, a new Emergency function, may save the users’ lives.

It might be unpredictable and risky to drive on the road.

An automobile crash can be detected by Apple’s newest Watch Series 8 and the iPhone 14 series, and after 10 seconds, the feature will automatically alert the user’s emergency contact and provide them with the user’s location.

It’s important to note that the feature only operates when the user is behind the wheel.

Both the Watch Series 8 and the iPhone 14 series come with two new motion sensors – an upgraded 3-axis gyroscope and a high-G-force accelerometer – in case you’re wondering how the Crash Detection feature functions.

The latter has a sampling rate that is nearly 3,000 times quicker and can measure up to 256 G’s.

Apple has also developed a sophisticated sensor algorithm to activate the function precisely.

The Crash Detection on a linked iPhone uses the motion sensor in addition to the barometer, GPS, and microphone to determine whether a serious crash has occurred.

All of the information makes it possible to pinpoint the exact moment of impact.

The emergency services interface will show up on both the Apple Watch Series 8 and the iPhone 14 series after a serious crash.

According to Apple, the emergency feature can identify collisions involving automobiles, SUVs, and pickup trucks.

It also focuses on four different forms of collisions: rollovers, rear-end collisions, side impacts, and front impacts.

Only when driving and just before a potential mishap does the feature run and process data.

Additionally, the data is stored on the device and is not collected by Apple.

Apple stated in the announcement that its algorithm has been trained on more than 1 million hours of actual driving and crash data and that it has researched vehicle crashes at cutting-edge crash test facilities for years.

Apple to discontinue producing older iPhones

by
Apple to discontinue producing older iPhones
  • Apple announces iPhone 14 series at its ‘Far Out’ event.
  • The company also stopped selling the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 Mini starting in 2019.
  • Older iPhone models will continue to be offered to merchants worldwide.

Yesterday, Apple formally announced the iPhone 14 series at its ‘Far Out’ event.

AirPods Pro 2nd Gen, Apple Watch Series 8, and Apple Watch Ultra were available with the most recent iPhones.

Unsurprisingly, the American tech titan also revealed that some outdated iPhone models will no longer be produced.

The new Pro models have replaced the old Pro models in Apple’s iPhone lineup, just like every year.

In other words, starting in 2021, the business will no longer sell the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

The iPhone 13 Pro series delivered some substantial enhancements.

A 120Hz LTPO display, an enhanced triple camera system, significantly longer battery life, and other improvements were added.

The company also stops selling the iPhone 11 starting in 2019.

It was the first base model iPhone to enable cable charging at 18W, twin cameras, and 4GB of RAM.

The iPhone 12 Mini was discontinued by Apple starting in 2020.

On its debut, it was the cheapest iPhone with an OLED display, one of the first 5G iPhones, and the first Mini iPhone.

As a result, this is how the current Apple iPhone family is configured.

  • iPhone SE 3rd Gen (2022)
  • iPhone 12
  • iPhone 13 Mini
  • iPhone 13
  • iPhone 14
  • iPhone 14 Plus
  • iPhone 14 Pro
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max

However, it is important to note that even though Apple has officially discontinued selling the aforementioned older iPhone models, they will continue to be offered to merchants worldwide as long as supplies last.

Last but not least, since the iPhone 11 has been discontinued, Apple only offers 5G-capable smartphones.

Apple launches iPhone 14 with emergency satellite connectivity

by
Apple launches iPhone 14
  • Pre-orders for the iPhone 14 starts at $799.
  • Users will occasionally be able to communicate their location via satellite via its FindMy app.
  • Apple also unveiled three new Apple Watch models, including a new Watch Ultra design for extreme sports and diving.

Apple unveiled a variety of new iPhone 14 models that include crash-detection technology, an adventure-focused Ultra Watch, and the ability to send a request for help through satellite in an emergency.

The iPhone 14 models will put Apple’s capacity to extract money from its comparatively wealthy client base to the test; although they have continued to spend despite growing inflation, they are not immune to a deteriorating economy.

Beginning September 9, pre-orders for the iPhone 14 and iPhone Plus will be accepted. The price for the iPhone 14 starts at $799 and $899, respectively.

Apple claimed to have developed a mechanism that will cooperate with first responders in case of emergencies in outlying locations.

It added that users will occasionally be able to communicate their location via satellite via its FindMy app when there is no other connectivity.

Apple’s emergency SOS service will be operated by satellite by Globalstar, according to a filing.

On Wednesday, Globalstar’s shares decreased by roughly 16% before it was suspended in anticipation of the disclosure of the Apple transaction. The stock has increased by nearly 50% so far this year.

Similar functions are being developed by other businesses. Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, revealed last month that the company is collaborating with T-Mobile (TMUS.O) to utilize its Starlink satellites to directly connect phones to the internet.

In contrast to Apple’s iPhone Pro models, the iPhone 14 Plus model will sport a larger screen and an A15 CPU chip.

The corporation, which has its headquarters in Cupertino, California, also unveiled three new Apple Watch models, including a new Watch Ultra design for extreme sports and diving.

The Ultra has a larger battery to last longer during activities like triathlons, better waterproofing, temperature resistance, and better GPS tracking for sports.

The updated SE economy model is one of the new Watches, while the Series 8 Watch, which has crash detection and a low-power mode for 36 hours of battery life, is another.

The SE with cellular will start at $299, while the Series 8 with cellular will start at $499. The Ultra will go on sale on September 23 for $799 and comes with cellular service as standard.

According to Apple, the new Series 8 watch contains a temperature sensor that may be used in conjunction with the cycle tracking app that was previously launched to detect ovulation in the past.

The company emphasized its cycle tracking’s privacy-friendly methodology. Following a U.S. court ruling, internet corporations have started to focus on privacy and reproductive health data.

In the United States, a constitutional right to abortion was eliminated by a Supreme Court judgment.

Apple claimed it lacked the key needed to unlock health information like cycle monitoring.

Although accessories like the Apple Watch have increased sales from Apple’s current customer base, the iPhone continues to be the company’s main revenue generator, accounting for 52.4% of all sales in its most recent fiscal year.

More than an hour into the presentation, Apple’s stock was up 0.6%, in line with the start of the event, but below the session gain of 1.5% for the S&P 500.

According to some observers, Apple could unveil a mixed reality headset on Wednesday.

The gadget is anticipated to contain cameras that provide the wearer a view of the outside world while superimposing digital elements on the real world.

Analysts predict that the device won’t go on sale until at least the following year.

An early preview would be unusual for Apple, which usually waits to reveal its product plans until right before its products are released.

Project Cambria, a competing headset being developed by Meta Platforms, will cost billions of dollars to complete.

But Apple could need to give developers time to get accustomed to it in order to offer appealing apps for a new headset.

“Developing for a new and radically different type of platform is going to take folks a lot longer,” O’Donnell said.

iPhone 14 Pro Max vs iPhone Max; expected difference

by
iPhone 14 Pro Max vs iPhone Max
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Max are expected to make their public debut tonight.
  • The iPhone 14 Pro Max and 14 Pro are claimed to be the only devices with a unified pill-shaped notch.
  • iOS 16’s operating system apparently has hints of the alleged AoD capability.

Recent rumors suggested that the Apple iPhone 14 Max would ship with an iPhone 14 Plus banding.

If this information is accurate, the Cupertino-based tech giant will introduce the first device with the Plus branding since the iPhone 8 Plus.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Max are expected to have identical form factors and screen sizes, although the Pro model could introduce a number of improvements above the Max (or Plus) version.

The two phones are anticipated to make their public debut tonight during Apple’s “Far Out” presentation.

Differences between Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Max (expected)

First, the newest Apple A16 Bionic SoC is anticipated to power the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max.

However, the iPhone 14 Max is rumored to be powered by the Apple A15 Bionic SoC from the previous year. The new SoC is reportedly reserved just for the iPhone 14 Pro variants.

Second, the 48-megapixel primary rear sensor is rumored to be included in the iPhone 14 Pro models, which include the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro.

However, the non-Pro iPhone 14 models can keep the same 12-megapixel camera as the ones from the prior generation.

Third, the always-on display (AoD) functionality may be available on the iPhone 14 Pro variants.

The low refresh rate display, which is rumored to have a range of 1Hz to 120Hz, on the next iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro is supposed to be what makes the functionality possible.

iOS 16’s operating system apparently has hints of the alleged AoD capability.

Last but not least, the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro are claimed to be the only devices with the addition of a unified pill-shaped notch, which is supposed to house the Face ID sensor, selfie camera, and privacy indications.

The notch that was present on the iPhone 13 series is reportedly still present on the non-Pro iPhone 14 devices, which include the iPhone 14 Max and the standard iPhone 14.

According to the rumors, the 6.7-inch display is the only significant similarity between the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Max.

According to a previous report, the iPhone 14 Max was expected to debut under the name iPhone 14 Plus.

According to Apple reports, the Cupertino firm instructed the producers of iPhone cases not to brand their products with the iPhone 14 Max logo.

On September 7 at 10:30 IST, Apple is scheduled to hold the ‘Far Out’ launch event.

The tech giant is anticipated to introduce the iPhone 14 series, Apple Watch Series 8, Watch Pro, and Apple AirPods Pro 2 at the event. Apple will broadcast the event live on its own YouTube channel.

Apple iPhone 14 launch event; what to expect

by
Apple iPhone 14 launch event; what to expect
  • The event is titled “Far Out” and will take place at the Apple Park facility in Cupertino, California.
  • Rumors suggest that the Pro version of the iPhone 14 Pro will have a larger, more powerful camera.
  • Apple will start construction on the Apple Watch Pro, a new professional gadget.

The greatest Apple event of the year is officially here.

It begins at 10:00 AM PT for those in attendance in person as well as those watching via stream on Apple’s website and YouTube channel.

It is titled “Far Out” and will take place at the Apple Park facility.

Here is what to anticipate.

iPhone 14

It’s the main Fall event for Apple, and as usual, it’s all about the new iPhones.

The 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, as well as the new 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max, are the four new iPhone 14 models that Apple will introduce.

The iPhone mini will be discontinued as a result of the switch to a more cost-effective Plus-sized phone due to weak sales.

The more reliable speculations suggest that the Pro duo will receive the larger improvements.

The selfie and FaceID cameras on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will have a new dual cutout, which will be combined in software to form a single, long pill-shaped notch.

The privacy indications for the microphone and camera will fit between the physical cutouts.

A new, larger 48MP sensor will be installed in the primary wide camera, enabling 8K video recording.

The selfie camera will finally receive autofocus and probably see imager enhancements, while the ultrawide camera will get a larger sensor for better low-light images.

According to rumors, Apple will finally demonstrate an Always-on iPhone display. The new A16 chipset will finally be available for the iPhone 14 Pro models.

The non-Pro models will continue to use the A15 Bionic chip from last year and most likely take on the iPhone 13 Pro’s wide camera, which has a larger sensor and brighter lens.

The upgraded ultrawide camera may be available for non-Pro models, according to some rumors, but it’s unclear whether or not the selfie camera will have autofocus.

For another year, the new iPhones will still have a Lightning connection, although charging rates may rise to 30W.

The cost of the Pro versions will probably increase by $100 in the US and maybe even more in Europe.

All iPhone 14 versions may include a ground-breaking new satellite connectivity function that Apple attempted to introduce last year but was unable to complete.

That can be connected to the event’s motto, “Far Out.” Apple’s connectivity has reportedly been provided by the satellite provider Globalstar.

Consider using the feature as a last resort if all other communication channels are down; it will only have enough bandwidth for a call or a text message.
