Not only this, but the chip (A15 Bionic) and RAM + Storage options are the same as you can find in iPhone 13. The software is upgraded though.
For camera lovers, iPhone 14 has a 12 MP main camera but now produces larger pixels 1.9µm vs 1.7µm pixels of iPhone 13. Its ultrawide (12 MP) selfie (12 MP), and video cameras are unchanged (except for the introduction of Cinematic Mode for video recording).

A new temperature sensor has been introduced targeted towards helping women with reproductive planning. It keeps a track of ovulation and other things related to women’s health. You could call it a feminist watch.
The coolest rumored feature has turned out to be true. Apple Watch 8 supports satellite connectivity! Other features include crash detection feature and a low-power mode. If you are caught in an accident, the crash detection feature in the watch sends out emergency messages for your help using satellite connectivity. Secondly, the low-power mode helps the battery to last longer, giving it a great battery life. Apple Watch 8 with the GPS-only version would cost you $399.
Apple Watch SE (2022)
Instead of calling it Apple Watch SE 2, as rumored, Apple has decided to name their SE Watch series by putting their release year upfront. Just like Apple Watch 8, this watch also comes with crash detection and low-battery mode features. It is relatively cheaper than the other two smartwatches, starting at $249.
Apple Watch Ultra

It promises a more precise GPS and an exceptional battery life.
For a great watch like this, the price is cheaper than we expected. It was rumored to be $999 but the original price is $799.
AirPods Pro 2
The all new AirPods Pro 2 will cost you $249 and can be preordered starting on September 9; the company starts shipping them on September 23, 2022. And now to the million dollar question – are they better than their predecessors? YES!
AirPods Pro 2 are wireless earbuds and while they are similar to the previous ones in color (yes they are available in white only) and the protruding stick design, they sound better, last longer and are harder to lose.
So what’s new in AirPods Pro 2? Capacitive touch control – swiping your fingers up and down on the outer surface of the device to adjust volume. A new H2 chip, which ensures excellent noise cancellation. Battery can be charged through a variety of devices including the Apple Watch charger, lightning wired charging, Apple MagSafe and Qi wireless charging.
In comparison with the previous Airpods, the battery life is better too. Other worth mentioning new features are a low distortion speaker and custom amplifier for better audio quality.
