Apple unveils new product that will revolutionize the industry
The global leader in consumer technology, Apple, has just unveiled its newest lineup of iPhones, which are scheduled to go on sale in the coming days.
After the conclusion of Apple’s most important event of the year, the Cupertino, California-based technology giant has, as was widely anticipated, shown off its latest lineup of mobile devices, specifically iPhones.
Tim Cook, Chief Executive Officer of Apple, was the one who took the stage on September 7 to announce four new iPhone models: the normal iPhone 14, as well as the iPhone Plus, the iPhone Pro, and the iPhone Pro Max.
There is no Mini model available in this new series of iPhones; your options are either huge or bigger.
You won’t discover any ground-breaking innovations in this section.
However, the phones come with a plethora of brand new capabilities, one of which is an upgraded camera.
The more expensive iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max models have a smaller notch at the top of the screen than prior editions of the iPhone. This notch will contain sensors as well as the front-facing camera.
Apple has nicknamed the new notch on the iPhone X a “dynamic island,” and it will display information about apps that are running in the background in addition to being linked with alerts.
The primary camera on higher-end models can be upgraded to 48 megapixels, and some models offer an always-on display similar to that of a watch. This display can show the time as well as other essential information without the need for any clicks.
Apple has stated that all models of the iPhone would have improved capabilities to take images and videos in low-light and gloomy settings, as well as have the ability to capture smoother video.
The Huge Astonishment
The newest iPhones will also come equipped with a function that can identify when an automobile accident has occurred and instantly notify emergency contacts as well as the police.
Even in places where there is no mobile phone service, users of the newest iPhones will still be able to make emergency calls via a satellite connection. This is one of the new safety features.
According to Apple’s announcement, the satellite technology that comes with the new iPhones will be free for the first two years of ownership.
Apple stunned everyone when it did not raise the prices of its new phones, which was unexpected given that there were no surprises in the gadget realm.
In point of fact, the base model of the iPhone 14 costs the same amount, $799, as did the iPhone 13 when it was first released.
Both the iPhone 14 Pro and the Pro Max are priced similarly to their iPhone 13 models, coming in at $999 and $1,099 respectively.
The price of the iPhone 14 Plus is $899; there was no comparable model in 2013.
Apple has also maintained the same price for its newest and most expensive watch, known as the Apple Watch Ultra.
This watch, which features a more robust titanium frame and a larger screen, can be purchased for a starting price of $799.
This is the price that Apple has been charging for recent models that have been constructed with a titanium case.
Consumers, who are facing price increases for nearly everything else, will undoubtedly be pleased with Apple’s choice to maintain the status quo with regard to pricing.
In July, the annual rate of inflation in the United States was 8.5%.
Apple Increased Prices Across the Board
The expectation among industry watchers was that Apple would raise its costs, but the company that makes the iPhone appears to have decided against doing so, in contrast to other technology firms that have raised their prices.
The fact that Apple has maintained the same pricing for the iPhone 14 Pro despite an increase in the cost of its component supply chain “speaks to the power/unmatched supply chain of Cupertino and owning its chips/A16 key,” an analyst from Wedbush noted.
Apple has maintained its prices despite the ongoing disruptions to its supply chain. However, it is clear that the company also based its decision on the negative news regarding consumers. According to a research firm called IDC, global smartphone shipments are expected to decrease by more than 6.5% to 1.27 billion units in 2022.
According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), “the fall is attributed to record-breaking inflation, geopolitical tensions, and other macroeconomic issues that have considerably impacted consumer demand.”
According to a new survey conducted by Bankrate, soaring inflation is having an impact on consumers’ shopping habits for the upcoming holiday season. At least forty percent of respondents to the survey said they would change the way they shop during this year’s holiday season. The inflation rates have already harmed consumers’ budgets for energy, food, and housing, as Ellen Chang of TheStreet wrote.
Apple has increased the prices of its new phones in other markets, such as Europe, but has maintained the prices of its new phones in the United States. In France, the iPhone 14 is being sold for €1,019 ($1,019), compared to €909 for the iPhone 13, which is an increase of 12%. The iPhone 14 Pro is being launched at €1,329, compared to €1,159 for the iPhone 13 Pro, which is an increase of 15%.
