VIVA – Apple has set a date for the debut of the new iPhones to be September 7, 2022 at 10 a.m. PT or Thursday, September 8, 2022 at 12 a.m. WIB. Apple will release the iPhone 14 with the new feature.
In its announcement, Apple included the words 'Far out'. New features for the iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Series 8 could help Apple stand out from the crowd during the fierce competition that’s expected to intensify this year.
The new iPhone 14 has an always-on screen. Apple may have plans to cut the iPhone 14's notch in favor of the hole-and-pill-shaped front camera, possibly for the Pro model.
Rumors suggest that the new iPhone lineup will change the iPhone Mini in favor of the new Max model, joining the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max which could potentially increase the price by around $100 or Rp1,4 million from last year.
In addition to the iPhone 14, Apple is also likely to reveal the Apple Watch Series 8. This series will be similar to last year's model but have more health features such as a fever sensor and improved battery life.
The invitation to the upcoming event shows the Apple logo appearing to be in the night sky, suggesting a potential camera upgrade or satellite emergency call as rumored last year.
The image looks like something we might see from the James Webb Space Telescope, whose stunning photos have changed the way we view the cosmos since they were first released earlier this summer.
People have cut back on purchases of tech goods, leading to reports of very low sales from Intel as well as a sudden shortage of advertising business for Google parent Alphabet and Facebook parent Meta.
The economy has plunged to the bottom thanks to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, mixed with continued inflation and a looming recession. A survey from the University of Michigan found that consumer sentiment is at its lowest in at least 70 years.
That means Apple will have to fight harder to win the hearts of consumers. Over the past few years, the Tim Cook-led company has recorded its biggest revenue and profits every holiday shopping season, largely due to the popularity of the 2021 iPhone 13 and 2020 iPhone 12.
Previously, CEO Tim Cook said high-end cameras, long battery life and good software as reasons people continue to choose the iPhone, as quoted from the CNET website on Monday, August 29, 2022.
But he also said that 5G, the super-fast wireless technology that Apple started using two years ago, is likely to encourage more people to upgrade their iPhones.
