We’re just hours away from Apple’s Far Out event, where the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 14 series of devices along with a few more products, including the Apple Watch Series 8, AirPods Pro 2, and the 10th Gen iPad.
While the iPhone 14 launch was the highlight of Apple’s Far Out event, the company might surprise us by announcing a few things like a new and improved HomePod, a mixed reality headset, and possibly “one more thing.” Not waiting.
Apple Remote: What we already know
The iPhone 14 series has been confirmed to have four models — iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max are said to use the updated A15 Bionic SoC, while the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are said to use the new A16 Bionic processor.
In terms of looks, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max may borrow the design from the iPhone 13 series. But the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are expected to get a major design overhaul, with a pill-shaped cutout instead of a notch with a modern script.
The iPhone 14 Pro series is also expected to include a 48MP primary wide-angle camera with an improved ultra-wide-angle lens. The Pro models are also likely to come with larger batteries, and these devices are expected to support up to 30W fast wired and wireless charging.
Similarly, the Apple Watch Series 8 will also have two models, and rumors say the company will also launch its first “Pro” smartwatch — the Apple Watch Pro with more processing power and premium build quality. Apple is also expected to refresh the baseline iPad with a design refresh and a new look.
In terms of design, AirPods Pro 2 is expected to be similar to the original AirPods Pro. However, the new model may offer better noise canceling capabilities, improved battery life and connectivity.
Apple Remote: What have we lost?
In our extensive pre-Apple Far Out coverage, we haven’t talked much about the next-generation HomePod, which is expected to be bigger and better than the outgoing model. With the new HomePod, Apple is expected to add more IoT features to allow users to get the most out of the smart speaker.
While Apple didn’t reveal its mixed reality headset during the event, the company may give us a first look at its first VR headset, which is expected to be a pricey affair. While most leaks point to the discontinuation of the iPhone Mini, Apple may surprise us all by announcing the iPhone 13 Mini’s successor, the iPhone 14 Mini.
