At a special event that was broadcast from Apple Park in Cupertino, USA, we can see that Apple has indeed pulled out all the stops in making its next launches – some of this year’s biggest drops – well, far out, as the invitation to watch it online said. What’s coming up include an all-new iPhone line-up, a next-gen AirPods Pro, three new models of the Apple Watch and an exciting update to Apple Fitness+, which you can find out more about below.

1. iPhone 14 & iPhone 14 Plus

Did you know that iPhone 14 models use 100 per cent recycled earth elements in all magnets, including those used in MagSafe, and 100 per cent recycled tungsten in the Taptic Engine? Or that they’re dust-, splash- and water-resistant with a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (max. depth of six metres for up to 30 minutes)? Coming in the popular 6.1-inch and a bigger 6.7-inch models, iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus feature a sophisticated design similar to that of their predecessors, but with a new dual-camera system, Crash Detection (which Apple hopes you’ll never have to use), Emergency SOS via Satellite, the best battery life on an iPhone and super-fast 5G. The new Main and front TrueDepth cameras plus Ultra Wide camera for unique perspectives ensure that whatever photos and videos you take will not be anything less than impressive – even if it’s a daily take or a low-light scenario. Both models will be available in five colourways, namely Blue, Midnight, Purple, Red and Starlight.

Pre-orders for iPhone 14: From 16th September 2022
Availability:
From 23rd September 2022
Price:
From RM4,199 (iPhone 14) & RM4,699 (iPhone 14 Plus)

2. iPhone 14 Pro & iPhone 14 Pro Max

Like the basic iPhone 14 models, the most advanced Pro line-up comes in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch sizes with a new Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion that features the Always-On display for the first time ever on an iPhone. Thanks to multiple power-efficient technologies, your Lock Screen is now even more useful as you can see the time, widgets and Live Activities at a glance with Dynamic Island. Whether you’re a casual or professional photographer or videographer, the Pro line-up will make you seem like a pro as it features a 48MP Main camera with a quad-pixel sensor that adapts to the photo being captured and second-gen sensor-shift optical image stablisation. Besides the amazing Cinematic mode that’s now available in 4K at 30 and 24 fps, there’s a new Action mode for incredibly smooth-looking videos minus the significant shakes and you can shoot in Apple ProRAW too! Both Pro models will be available in Deep Purple, Gold, Silver and Space Black.

Pre-orders for iPhone 14 Pro & iPhone 14 Pro Max: From 16th September 2022
Availability:
From 23rd September 2022
Price: From RM5,299 (iPhone 14 Pro) & RM5,799 (iPhone 14 Pro Max)

3. Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE & Apple Watch Ultra

If you’re looking for best-in-class health features including an innovative temperature sensor that enables advanced features for women’s health and Crash Detection for severe crashes on the road, look no further than Apple Watch Series 8. Add to that a range of case finishes, colours and band types to fit a variety of personal styles and you’re sorted for all occasions! On the other hand, the new Apple Watch SE delivers the core Apple Watch experience at a new starting price, which is great news for those who’ve been thinking of starting their Apple Watch journey, using it with Family Setup or gifting their loved ones.

The third newbie in the line-up, Apple Watch Ultra comes with a revolutionary new design with breakthrough capabilities inspired by the most extreme activities as well as explorers and athletes from around the world. Think bold design and a wide range of features built for endurance, exploration and adventure. What’s impressive – beyond the biggest and brightest Apple Watch display as well as best battery life of any Apple Watch – is the customisable Action button that offers instant access to the most important features and its three built-in microphones that significantly improve sound quality in voice calls during any condition. Another selling point would be the three new bands – Alpine Loop, Ocean Band and Trail Loop – which not only look cool but provide a secure and comfortable fit for every adventure that you’re going to have!

Availability: To be announced
Price: From RM1,199 (Apple Watch SE), RM1,899 (Apple Watch Series 8) & RM3,799 (Apple Watch Ultra)

4. AirPods Pro

Can't remember the days before you discovered AirPods? Same, neither can we! They’re known as the world’s best-selling wireless headphones for a reason and we can’t wait to get our hands on the second-gen AirPods Pro, the most advanced AirPods with the new H2 chip! Besides delivering even better audio quality, a more immersive listening experience with Personalised Spatial Audio and transformative features like major upgrades to Active Noise Cancellation (up to double that of their predecessor) and Adaptive Transparency, you can also enjoy Touch control for media playback and volume adjustments directly from the stem (say whaaat?), plus a longer battery life (up to 30 hours of total listening time!), a brand-new charging case (that is sweat- and water-resistant and you can personalise!), and an additional ear tip size for abetter fit. Of course, instant pairing to all Apple devices is a given and makes set-up a lot more effortless! 

Availability: To be announced
Price: RM1,099

5. Apple Fitness+

If much of the joy you get from working out and finding your peace in the past year can be attributed to the release of the award-winning service, Apple Fitness+ in Malaysia, you’ll be happy to know that it’ll soon be available for all iPhone users to subscribe to and enjoy without having to have an Apple Watch.
