The company has upgraded the lighting port into a USB-C port to make its products user-friendly and environmentally sustainable.
California: Apple took the stage at its annual fall event to introduce its newest products, including the iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9, and AirPods.
One significant change is the shift from the Lightning port to a USB-C port, prioritizing user convenience and environmental sustainability.
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max stole the spotlight with slimmer, lighter designs featuring Grade 5 Titanium and the fastest mobile CPU, the A17 Pro.
These devices boast a 48MP main camera, advanced photography capabilities, and improved low-light performance.
The Action Button replaces the traditional alert slider, offering enhanced functionality.
In a bid for sustainability, Apple has embraced USB-C for its latest iPhones, aligning with the EU's directive for electronics manufacturers to adopt this standard by 2024.
The pre-order for iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will start this Friday, September 15 and all the other new devices will be available from Friday, September 22.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus bring USB-C support, upgraded cameras, and Apple's Dynamic Island.
The notch design is replaced by the Dynamic Island, offering a fluid interface. The displays are brighter, featuring a 48MP main camera with portrait mode enhancements.
Apple Watch Series 9 boasts the new S9 SiP chip, enhancing performance, Siri commands, and machine learning tasks.
It includes a Double Tap gesture, allowing users to interact with the watch without touching the screen. The watch is also more secure, thanks to on-device Siri processing.
The Apple Watch Series 9 starts at $399 and is available for pre-order, while the AirPods now feature USB-C charging ports, making them more compatible with other Apple devices.
These innovations aim to make Apple's products faster, more user-friendly, and aligned with sustainable practices, setting the stage for more significant changes in the future.
