Apple Watch Series 8 feature slide. #AppleEvent

Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) with SiP 8

Apple Watch Ultra with 49mm titanium case, action button, 36 hours of battery life, and second speaker.

AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) with 2x active noise cancellation, adaptive transparency mode, 6 hours of battery life, lanyard loop, Memoji engraving, and U1 precision finding. $239

iPhone 14 feature slide. 5 colors (first time it is offered in silver and starlight?). “Proven” A15. Photonic Engine (Sweater Mode 2.0?). (Video) Action Mode. eSIM. Crash Detection. Emergency SOS via Satellite.

iPhone 14 Pro. Dynamic Island. 2000 nits. Always-On Display. Display Engine. A16. 48MP camera. 48MP ProRAW. Photonic Engine. Emergency SOS via Satellite.

Looks like the story Apple is telling this year is that Apple devices are made for extreme situations: crash detection, stronger Apple Watch Ultra, and Emergency SOS via Satellite. *Corrections: AirPods Pro is $249 and iPhone 14 comes in purple, not silver.

Track Detection coming soon. (Just for Apple Watch Pro?)

I’m glad Apple branded the pill. Dynamic Island is a much better name than Sensor Housing. Dynamic Island also sounds like a location at an Apple Theme Park. “Let the Taptic Engine drive you to Dynamic Island.”

“Use Emergency SOS via satellite on your iPhone 14” Apple Support Article is live. “With a direct view of the sky and the horizon, a message might take 15 seconds to send, and over a minute to send under trees with light or medium foliage.” support.apple.com/en-us/HT213426
