At a press event on Wednesday, which was live streamed on all social media platforms, Apple introduced its new Iphone line, three new Apple Watch models and an upgrade to its popular AirPods product line. Additionally, a function that might save lives when cell coverage is unavailable or if a person is stranded in the middle of nowhere.

The latest iPhones will go on sale on Friday. The new Apple Watches will be available for purchase on September 7th, while the new AirPods Pro will be available on September 23.

The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus will cost $799 and $899, similar to last year’s versions of the iPhone 13. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max start at $999 and $1099. Analysts largely projected that Apple will raise the flagship models’ prices by $100. “It is noteworthy that Apple has maintained year-on-year pricing parity on the new iPhone 14 devices in the US,” said CCS Insight’s Leo Gebbie.

The new Emergency SOS by Satellite capability was conceived and engineered exclusively for iPhone 14 devices to connect to satellites while not near a terrestrial tower, according to Apple. Users will be able to send and receive information to request emergency aid by pointing their handset toward a satellite, which the phone will help find.
