Apple held an event on September 12, 2023 to announce its new products, including the iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9, and AirPods Pro.
The iPhone 15 has a new design, with a USB-C port and a Dynamic Island. The Dynamic Island is a cutout in the display that replaces the notch. It houses the front-facing camera and Face ID sensors. The iPhone 15 also has a new 48-megapixel camera. This is the first time Apple has used a 48-megapixel camera on an iPhone. The new camera is expected to take better photos and videos in low light.
The Apple Watch Series 9 has a new neural engine that enables offline Siri access. This means you can use Siri on the Apple Watch even if you don’t have your iPhone nearby. The Apple Watch Series 9 also has a new Double Tap feature that gives you customizable gesture control. For example, you can double tap the side of the watch to open your favorite app.
The AirPods Pro now come with a USB-C charging case. This is a welcome change, as it means that you can use the same charging cable for your AirPods Pro as you do for your other Apple devices.
In addition to the new products, Apple also made some announcements about its existing products. For example, the company announced that the next-gen version of macOS, macOS Sonoma, will arrive on September 26. Apple also announced that iCloud+ is adding new 6TB and 12TB storage tiers.
