Apple is about a month away from its annual September event, which focuses on new iPhone and Apple Watch models. Now the foreign media MacRumors has brought a summary of the new product breaking points of Apple's September event conference.
iPhone 14
The iPhone 14 may be more of an "iPhone 13S" as it's not expected to have many changes, it will bring the same design and the same A15-series chip, and camera improvements are something to look forward to. It is reported that Apple will eliminate the 5.4-inch iPhone mini in the 2022 iPhone lineup, so the standard iPhone 14 series consists of the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and the larger 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max.
- 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max. There is no mini model.

- Same straight edge design with 6.1 and 6.7 inch size options.

The Apple Watch Series 8 isn't the only new Apple Watch we've gotten this year. Apple is updating the Apple Watch SE 2 with a new high-end "Apple Watch Pro."
