Apple has introduced an all-new lineup of iPhone models, including the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and more. And in addition, updates to AirPods Pro, Fitness+, and Apple Watch.
The announcements occurred in the early hours of this morning, during Apple’s annual September Event. Commonly known as “iPhone month”. This year Apple unveiled:
- iPhones: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Mac
- Apple Watch models: Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE, and an all-new model called Apple Watch Ultra
- AirPods: Third-generation AirPods Pro
In addition to new products, Apple has also made a significant announcement about Fitness+, its fitness workout service. Previously an Apple Watch had to be purchased to subscribe and use the service. And while Apple Watch continues to bring huge benefits to the service, all that is now required is an iPhone.
Key information such as new features, pricing, availability, and more on new iPhone models is as follows:
