Apple Unveils New iPhone 14 Lineup, Keeps Prices Steady
From: The Wall Street Journal
Apple Inc. on Wednesday began a third year of nudging customers to iPhones with 5G-capable technology, betting iterative enhancements will still appeal to buyers who haven’t upgraded to the latest offerings.
The iPhone 14 lineup took center stage for customers and investors at the company’s annual September event at its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters and on its website. The new models are an evolutionary offering after the late 2020’s iPhone 12 brought 5G cellular capability for the first time. 5G has been touted as offering faster download speeds, appealing for streaming video and videogames.
The tech giant focused on safety features for the iPhone 14 lineup and newest smartwatches, adding sensors that can detect car crashes and alert authorities. The new smartphones will get satellite connectivity for sending emergency messages to use in areas not touched by cellular towers.
Many analysts had expected to see Apple increase prices for some iPhones, but the company kept starting prices the same compared with a year ago for both base and high-end models. It dropped the cheapest iPhone Mini version.
Demand for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineups helped Apple post record profits and sales in the past two years. IPhone revenue rose 39% in fiscal 2021 and is expected to rise another 6.7% to a record $205 billion this fiscal year, which ends later this month.
“The iPhone’s sales performance year to date has been impressive, and is the biggest reason why the company has largely bucked the economic downturn,” said Gene Munster, managing partner at Loup Ventures. “Keeping that segment’s momentum going this holiday in the face of a stressed consumer will be top of mind for investors when the new models are unveiled.”
Apple has defied an industrywide decline in smartphone shipments, which slipped almost 9% in the past quarter compared with a year earlier, according to researcher International Data Corp. During the first half, the bright spot in the market was smartphones priced above $900, according to Counterpoint Research.
The biggest changes on Wednesday were in the higher-end iPhone Pro models that cost more and have helped drive more revenue for the company. Apple revealed 6.1- and 6.7-inch display versions of the Pro models and added a 6.7-inch offering—called iPhone 14 Plus—to the iPhone 14 base version along with the 6.1-inch display.
The Pro versions got a new faster A16 chip and screen that is brighter and allows for always-on display. The high-end phones come with a new design that houses the front camera in a pill-shaped hole in the screen replacing the iPhone 13’s notch. It surfaces alerts in what Apple is calling the dynamic island that expands across the top of the screen. The high-end devices have a bigger camera system with more-advanced zooming among other capabilities.
The base iPhone 14 with the 6.1-inch display will start at the same price as last year’s iPhone 13. The new larger-size 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus starts at $899 while the same-sized Pro version with a better camera system and other upgrades starts at $999. The bigger iPhone Pro Max starts at $1,099.
“It is impressive that Apple has maintained year-on-year pricing parity on the new iPhone 14 devices in the U.S.,” Ben Wood, chief analyst at CCS Insight, said in an email. “We had anticipated that inflation, increased production and component costs, and other expenses such as more expensive shipping would have led Apple to increase its retail pricing.”
One of the biggest technological changes announced Wednesday was the arrival of satellite connectivity for smartphones. The new service, called Emergency SOS via satellite, will allow iPhone 14 users to send special low-bandwidth text messages to emergency responders through space-based relays. Apple said the service will launch in November in the U.S. and Canada. The company plans to offer the service for free for two years.

苹果公司（Apple Inc.）周三开始了第三年向消费者推出5G版iPhone的行动，认为迭代升级仍将吸引尚未升级到最新产品的消费者。
nudge
