Apple presented new iPhone and Apple Watch models in the Steve Jobs Theater at the Apple Park campus in California.
SPEKA has analyzed the features that first appeared in the new Apple gadgets.
iPhone 14: a new camera, emergency call, and charger
iPhone 14 features a better camera and the ability to make an emergency call via satellite
The iPhone 14 from Apple features a 6.5-inch display, and the iPhone 14+ has a 6.7-inch display.
The chip hasn’t changed since the previous version, the iPhone 13 Pro Max — it’s still the A15 Bionic. The iPhone is equipped with a 5-core GPU and a new battery, which, according to the developers’ claim, is enough for a whole-day’s work.
The iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14+ also have better main and front cameras, which can shoot better photos and videos in low light and also stabilize video.
The new smartphones also feature eSim capable of carrying multiple virtual phone numbers, which means the owner no longer needs a physical card. This adds to security since eSim cannot be removed when the phone is stolen, while there’s no slot to insert a SIM card.
The iPhone 14 will have the Crash Detection function that will notify emergency services and trusted contacts in case a road accident occurs. If it happens in a place where no WiFi or mobile communication is available, the call will be made via satellite connectivity.

The iPhone 14 will be available for sale in the U.S. from September 16, and the iPhone 14+ from October 1. It’s still unknown when the gadget will appear in Ukraine, but some websites already offer to preorder it for 42,500 UAH (around $1,150).
At the same time, the Apple Ukraine official website hasn’t yet provided this option, so it’s better to wait for the official start of sales. In the U.S., the iPhone 14 will cost $799 (around 29,500 UAH), while the iPhone 14+ will be offered for $899 (33,200 UAH).
