There is a saying among Apple fans: "Real fans will not care about how to hold the press conference, but will only worry about how to buy after the press conference."
If you are also a member of "Shut up and take my money", or it happens to be the replacement cycle, this article will tell you how to buy Apple new autumn products.
If you are not sure what new products were released in the early morning, click the video number below, and we will use the new product broadcast method to do it one by one for you.
Apple Watch: Either Ultra or SE
as an appetizer, the content of Apple Watch SEries 8 (hereinafter referred to as S8) will be introduced at the beginning of the press conference.
We can see that the appearance of S8 has not changed compared to previous generations; the changes all happen internally, first of all, the S8 SiP chip. The three Apple Watches released early this morning all use the same S8 SiP chip. It is still unknown how much performance has improved.
At the same time, S8 has added a new temperature sensor, but this is not much related to the previous rumored prevention of new crown . Apple went further and integrated temperature monitoring into the menstrual tracking function.
and the body temperature during sleep are measured, showing long-term temperature changes. Menstrual tracking uses this data to estimate possible ovulation dates to provide reference for fertility plans.
Simply put, it makes menstrual tracking function more accurate and helps wearers prepare for pregnancy better.
In addition, S8 has upgraded a three-axis gyroscope. With the newly added high-value acceleration sensor and a number of sensors such as microphone, barometer, , etc., the S8 can detect whether the wearer has encountered a car accident, but like Apple, we sincerely hope that no one can use this function. These are the improvements in hardware in
, and the rest are the software-level experience improvements brought by watchOS 9.
Next is the new generation of Apple Watch SE (hereinafter referred to as SE2), which continues the appearance design of the old SE, and based on the S8, the U1 chip and body temperature sensor are subtracted, but also has car accident detection function.
By the way, SE2 still does not have blood oxygen detection and ECG electrocardiogram function . The functions of the two products are not obvious, and the hardware performance is similar. The starting prices of S8 and SE2 are 2999 yuan and 1999 yuan respectively. If you think that a slightly larger screen and body temperature sensor are not worth making you pay an extra 1,000 yuan, then SE2 is obviously a very cost-effective choice.
And for users of Apple Watch Series 7, there is no need to upgrade.
Of course, the above is just a comparison between S8, S7 and SE2, but don’t forget that Apple has released three tables this time and is prepared. The Apple Watch Ultra, which debuted in
, is the corner that lays the most previews and surprises.
new design, unique extreme sports mode, up to 36 hours of battery life and a price of for 6,299 yuan. All of this declares its uniqueness, unlike all previous Apple Watch products.
Just the points mentioned above are enough to show the sincerity of the upgrade of Apple Watch Ultra.
Of course, this product is not only a brother, it also represents the number one seed of the smart watch , and compete with a number of outdoor competitive watches. The detailed configuration of
can be seen in the "Full Summary of Apple's Press Conference" released earlier: iPhone 14 Amazing the audience with the island, Apple Watch does not have Pro but it is more expensive than mobile phones".
I will only talk about three key points here:
First of all, it is an orange custom operation button, marking the compass waypoint with one click, turning on the traceback function with one click, and switching the motion mode with one click. Although many manufacturers have similar custom keys, the diversity of functions of is still Apple thinking a little further on .
Secondly, during normal use, the Apple Watch Ultra can achieve up to 36 hours of battery life. In the upcoming low-battery mode, it can even reach 60 hours without charging. Although it still cannot catch up with those professional outdoor appearances, it is still a significant improvement over its own brothers.
finally has three exclusive watch straps, which correspond to three extreme sports scenes: diving, mountaineering, and off-roading. Each one is unique and ingenious.
In short, Apple Watch Ultra completely surpasses all previous members of the family, and at the same time try to catch up with traditional watch manufacturers in terms of design and functions, and is far better in terms of intelligent systems.
From this point of view, its price of 6,299 yuan is actually a bit more cost-effective.
Apple Watch Ultra is so targeted that it is difficult for us to compare it with S8.
If you see this and are still hesitating between these two products, then I think S8 is enough to meet 99% of your usage needs.
four iPhones, two sizes, one island
Goodbye, iPhone mini. Long time no see, iPhone Plus.
This time, there are still four models in the iPhone 14 series, but the "Small Screen King" is no longer there, and it is replaced by the Plus model that has returned to the world.
Let’s first talk about these two standard versions of iPhone 14/14 Plus. The upgrade points of
In addition, the main camera of iPhone 14 has both increased and the aperture is increased. The official said that the amount of light input has increased by 49%. In conjunction with the addition of the "light image engine", the image capability in dark light environments has made a qualitative leap, and the exposure speed at night has also accelerated a lot.
In addition, satellite emergency call and car accident detection are also new functions, , so iPhone 13 Should users change to iPhone 14? I think non-rigid requirements need not be considered, but maybe you can consider upgrading to iPhone 14 Pro. The screen size of the next two machines in the
However, when everyone is attacking this design violently, Apple changed its thinking and used the "curve to save the country" method to make this point a highlight.
Apple's idea is to implement the "Lingdong Island" function at the software level, and iPhone has since had a new interaction method.
Animated image understands "Lingdong Island".
For this function, I will not repeat it here. Please see the summary article of the morning press conference for details.
In a word, because of this function, the holes on the top of the screen are integrated into the system.
I believe this is the optimal solution that Apple can achieve under the premise that it must retain hole-punching design for physical structures such as Face ID and front lenses. One day it will retire and become history. That day should be the time when the iPhone uses a real full screen.
In addition, the iPhone 14 Pro series also focuses on upgrading the rear photography system, which can be summarized into three points: is clearer, brighter, and more stable .
wide-angle main camera lens is upgraded to 48 million pixels. On weekdays, the four-in-one pixel technology is used to synthesize small pixels into large pixels, and the photosensitive ability is instantly improved by 4 times. Finally, a very textured 12 million pixel photo was synthesized.
After turning on ProRAW format, you can take a 48-megapixel full of details, which is convenient for later modification and cropping.
The entire series is equipped with a light image engine, which can be regarded as an advanced version of the deep fusion function, restoring more details in dark light environments.
iPhone 14 Pro series is equipped with the second generation sensor displacement optical image anti-shake function. Even if your hands shake during shooting, the final film will be as stable as if it was taken with a gimbal. In comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro's chip and battery upgrade is a bit "stingy", or not enough. The final performance needs to be discussed in detail when our new phone is launched.
said this, how should you choose a new iPhone? We feel that the most recommended thing for is the iPhone 14 Pro, which has the strongest comprehensive quality and has not seen a price increase as rumored. Friends who have the need to change the phone can give priority to this model.
If there are higher requirements for battery life, you can choose from two new 6.7-inch iPhones.
is right. Although Apple has not disclosed the running memory parameters of iPhone 14, it can be seen from gsmarena.com's product library that the two standard iPhones use 4GB of memory, while the other two high-end models are 6GB.
New AirPods Pro Is it worth buying? Where is the value?
Conclusion put before: Worth it!
At the same time as the release of AirPods Pro (second generation), Apple's official website removed the first generation of AirPods Pro: AirPods (second generation), AirPods (third generation), and AirPods Pro (second generation), forming the product matrix of Apple's real wireless Bluetooth headsets today.
Let’s first look at the top ten upgrades of AirPods Pro (second generation):
. The noise reduction effect is upgraded to 2 times the previous generation;
. Added the minimum XS earbuds;
Overall, in addition to the appearance, the performance upgrade of AirPods Pro (second generation) is still very good. If you happen to want to buy AirPods that support noise reduction, the AirPods Pro (second generation) released in the early morning is naturally the first choice.
However, many friends feel uncomfortable when wearing AirPods Pro. It is recommended that friends who have not used the first generation AirPods Pro should go to the store to experience it first and then decide whether to buy it.
AirPods Pro (second generation) is priced at 1899 yuan, and is accepted for ordering at 8 pm on September 9 and will be released on September 23.
In general, at the just-concluded autumn press conference, although there are many new products launched this time, one after another, the positioning of each product is very targeted. Consumers come in with their needs and can find the best new product for them in just a moment.
has seen this, have you decided? Tomorrow, 8 o'clock (mobile phone, watch) / 20 o'clock (AirPods Pro), set the alarm clock and start it!
