Apple announced on Wednesday that its flagship product launch event for this year will take place on September 7.
The ‘Far Out’ event will feature the new iPhone 14 lineup, Watches, and other products.
This will be an in-person event at Apple’s Cupertino campus in the United States, the company’s first major event in the two years since the pandemic.
The launch event will also be streamed live online by the tech behemoth.
According to reports, the next-generation iPhone 14, which will be produced in India around two months after its production in China, will include four models: a 6.1-inch iPhone 14, a new 6.7-inch iPhone 14, a 6.1-inch, and a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max as well.
The base model of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 is expected to cost $799, the same as the iPhone 13.
The 5.4-inch iPhone mini is likely to be discontinued by Apple this year.
The A16 Bionic chipset will power the Pro models, while the A15 chip will power the non-Pro models.
For their camera setup and Face ID functionality, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will combine a circular hole-punch cut-out and a pill-shaped cut-out.
According to a recent report, Samsung Display will use different grades of materials on the OLED panels it will manufacture for the upcoming iPhone 14 series based on the model tiers.
It will use its most recent and advanced material set for the higher-tier iPhone 14 models, and its previous generation set for the lower-tier ones. The decision is being made to save money.
The standard iPhone 14 models are unlikely to change, but the iPhone 14 Pro models will feature updated camera technology.
There are three Apple Watch models in development: the new Apple Watch Series 8, a refreshed Apple Watch SE, and an all-new Pro model with a larger body, updated design, and a rugged build.
Meanwhile, according to a recent report, despite analyst predictions, the tech giant appears confident and has reportedly asked its suppliers to build at least 90 million next-generation iPhones.
In fact, Apple expects to produce 220 million iPhones in total by 2022.
