Apple held the 2022 Fall New Product Launch at 01:00 Beijing time on September 8, and new products such as the new iPhone 14 series, Apple Watch Series 8, and AirPods Pro were all on display. Here is a brief introduction to the iPhone 14 series and some new highlights.

At this launch event, Apple released a total of 4 iPhone 14 series phones, namely iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

1. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus

This year's iPhone 14 series canceled the mini model and replaced it with the iPhone 14 Plus with a larger screen. These two phones retain most of the design of the iPhone 13 - including the bangs groove for the phone's selfie camera and Face ID sensor, available in five colors: midnight, purple, starlight, red, and blue.

● Satellite communication and SOS emergency contact

The iPhone 14 series supports the long-rumored emergency messages sent via communication satellites, called emergency SOS. When the user is out of range of the mobile phone signal, the phone's antenna can connect to the satellite frequency. Through a custom short text compression algorithm, the message size can be greatly reduced. When a clear sky can be seen, the message can be sent in less than 15 seconds. It supports satellite location sharing. In the field, emergency rescue and other fields, the satellite communication function can play a specific role.

This service is free for the first two years and will be launched first in the United States and Canada in November.

2. iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max

The iPhone 14 Pro series also supports the aforementioned features such as car accident detection and satellite communications. The following mainly introduces their upgrades compared to the iPhone 14 series.

●Smart Island

On the iPhone 14 Pro series, the original depth-sensing camera has been redesigned to reduce the display space occupied and become a punched pill shape. Apple has ingeniously introduced a new interactive interactive experience for it: Smart Island.

Without affecting the display of screen content, Smart Island remains active, allowing users to use control options with just a long press. Activities that keep running in the background, such as maps, music apps, or timers, are always visible and interactive, and can also change in real time to display important reminders, notifications, and activities. In addition, Smart Island also applies to third-party apps that provide information (such as game scores and carpooling information) through "real-time activities" in iOS 16.
