Apple is known for putting on spectacular events to debut its latest products and innovations. The tech giant always strives to outdo themselves, and they have done just that with their upcoming event in 2022. This event is being dubbed the “far out” event, and it is sure to live up to the hype. Here’s what we know so far about Apple’s upcoming event in 2022.
Dates & Locations
The date and location of the event have not been announced yet, but it is rumoured that it will take place in mid-September. This would be a departure from Apple’s usual practice of holding its events in late October or early November. As for the location, several possibilities are being considered. One possibility is that the event will be held in Cupertino, California, which is where Apple’s headquarters are located. Another possibility is that the event will be held in New York City. This would make sense given that Apple has a large presence in the city.
Another popular rumour is that Apple will use the event to finally unveil their long-awaited iPhone 14. The current crop of iPhones, the iPhone 13 series, has been very successful. But it is starting to show its age. The iPhone 14 is rumoured to feature an updated design, new features, and improved performance. If this rumour turns out to be true, then this event will be a must-see for Apple fans.
The new iPhone 14 is said to feature a host of new design changes. One of the most significant changes is the move to an all-screen design. The home button and the bezels around the edge of the phone will be gone, leaving only a large display. This will give the iPhone 14 a more streamlined look and feel. In addition, the camera module could be getting a redesign with up to a 48-megapixel sensor. It is said to be larger and flusher than the body of the phone. This will give the iPhone 14 a sleeker profile and improve its overall aesthetics. Finally, the new iPhone 14 is also rumoured to feature upgraded internals, such as a faster processor and improved battery life. These new features are sure to make the iPhone 14 one of the most anticipated releases of 2022.
The new iPhone 14 maybe available in two sizes: the iPhone 14 mini, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The standard size is rumoured to be a 6.1-inch display, while the Pro Max has a 6.7-inch display. It won’t come as a surprise if Apple discontinues the small phone in 2022 given reports of slow sales of the iPhone 12/13 Mini. The new iPhone 14 features a redesigned home screen that allows for better customization and easier access to frequently used apps. The increased screen size is said to be achieved by reducing the size of the bezels, resulting in a phone that is slightly larger overall but with a larger usable screen area. An article on the Naver technology site in South Korea predicts that the iPhone 14 will have colour options in Green, Blue, Purple, Black, Red, and White. In the meanwhile, Green, Purple, Gold, Silver, and Graphite colour options may be available for the iPhone 14 Pro versions. Whether or not these rumours are true remains to be seen, but the iPhone 14 is shaping up to be an impressive update to an already successful series of phones.
It is widely expected that the upcoming iPhone 14 will be priced higher than the current iPhone 13. The cost of the new phone will likely fall somewhere between $699 -$799, depending on the storage capacity and other features. Some analysts believe that the price may even be lower than the iPhone 13, to boost sales. Regardless of the final price, it is clear that the iPhone 14 will be one of the most expensive phones on the market.
In order to quell the unrest caused by the recent price hikes, Apple has announced a series of new updates for its products. First and foremost, amongst these is an increase in the storage capacity of the entry-level iPhone from 64GB to 128GB. This will be a welcome change for consumers who have found themselves running out of space on their devices with increasing frequency. Apple needs to provide massive updates and or add a new significant feature to compensate for the increase in prices one of these could be to act on the EU deal which forces iPhones to use USB-C charger by 2024. The deal, which was reached between the European Commission and 15 major phone manufacturers, is designed to reduce electronic waste and make it easier for consumers to charge their devices. While many new phones already use USB-C, the iPhone has remained one of the holdouts. Apple is reportedly planning to switch to USB-C in the next few years, but the EU deal will ensure that all new iPhones sold in Europe will use the standard by 2024. The move could make it easier for people to charge their phones when travelling, as well as make it easier to find replacement chargers.
