Apple held its annual iPhone-centric event, debuting the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Apple also introduced the new Apple Watch Series 8 models, a revamped version of the Apple Watch SE, the Apple Watch Ultra, and the new AirPods Pro.

New iPhones

The iPhone 14 will have a 6.1" display, while the iPhone 14 Plus display will come in at 6.7". Both will run the A15 Bionic chip first seen in last year's iPhone 13 Pro. There's a 12MP rear camera (which Apple now refers to as the "main" camera) with a larger sensor on the back, while the 12MP front-facing camera is getting a fancy new auto-focus system for better/faster selfies. Notably, both models will drop the physical SIM tray they'll be eSIM only.

Like those models, the iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max will come in at 6.1" and 6.7" respectively. Both Pro models will run on an all new chip, the aptly named A16 Bionic. Apple has shifted the front-facing camera notch away from the edge and into the display itself with a design it calls the "dynamic island", which is meant to let the pill-shaped camera cutout sort of blend into darker elements of the interface.
