(Motherland) - Apple has now extended an invitation to join the Far Out event, updating the event details page, and creating a live stream channel on YouTube.
Apple has officially sent out invitations for the Fall 2022 event on September 7th (September 8th, 0:00 AM Vietnam time). As per the annual tradition, this event will witness the unveiling of the latest iPhone lineup by the company.
With an invitation featuring a 'starlit sky' backdrop and the message 'Far Out', the company is hinting at something intriguing for the Apple enthusiasts.
According to numerous speculations and leaks, Apple is expected to bring significant upgrades to the camera in the new iPhone lineup. From the invitation and the message, it's apparent that the company is teasing the possibilities of astrophotography and improved camera features.
Rumors have suggested that Apple might upgrade the main sensor from 12 MP to 48 MP for the iPhone 14 series. If this information holds true, coupled with enhancements in camera capabilities and excellent low-light performance, the company will position the iPhone 14 as the smartphone model for capturing the most stunning moonlit shots.
Moreover, even the event name 'Far Out' suggests improved astrophotography capabilities, as well as a starry design against the nighttime background. A promising lens for the iPhone has been hinted, but it seems more likely to be reserved for Apple's 2023 products.
Additionally, the invitation may hint at the possibility of the iPhone 14 having enhanced moon satellite connectivity. This was previously mentioned for the iPhone 13 series, a feature allowing users to communicate via satellite in emergency situations, beyond the coverage areas of network providers.
Finally, many speculate that the iPhone 14 will feature the much-awaited Always On Display feature. The imagery of the Far Out event displays a dark background, akin to a smartphone screen when not in use, yet something is still visible on the screen (hinted by the image of a starry apple).
In summary, with this invitation, it's apparent that the company is hinting at even more 'far-out' features and products. This may include something related to VR or AR, additional wallpapers, and remote connections between the iPhone and other devices for improved long-distance photography, allowing users to save to recent albums.
A leaker has mentioned the possibility of integrating a James Webb space telescope inside the iPhone 14, promising the best moon photography capabilities ever - but sadly, this implementation is reserved only for the Pro models.
To date, leaks suggest that Apple will unveil the iPhone 14 series with 4 models. Specifically, iPhone 14 - 6.1 inches, iPhone 14 Max - 6.7 inches with a notch display, and iPhone 14 Pro - 6.1 inches, iPhone 14 Pro Max - 6.7 inches with a hole-punch display design.
Additionally, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, only the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will utilize the Apple A16 chip, while the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max models will use the Apple A15 chip, similar to the iPhone 13 series.
All four iPhone 14 models may see a $100 increase compared to the iPhone 13. Thus, the starting price for the iPhone 14 will be $899, the iPhone 14 Max will be $999, and the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be priced at $1,099 and $1,199 respectively.
