" \n Apple unveils new iPhones 14 models, watches \n \n\n \n Apple Inc\u00a0on Wednesday is expected to unveil a new range of iPhone 14 models and Apple Watches that will test how willing consumers are to upgrade gadgets in the face of inflation and economic gloom. \n \n\n \n According to Reuters report, analysts expect Apple to announce that the latest iPhones can send emergency messages using satellites at the event titled \u201cFar Out\u201d at its Cupertino, California, headquarters. \n \n\n \n Beyond that, analysts expect a family of iPhone 14 models with incremental upgrades \u2013 slightly better cameras, processor chips and, critically for Apple\u2019s bottom line, prices $100 or more higher than last year\u2019s models. \n \n\n \n To be sure, the world\u2019s most valuable listed company will also likely keep some older or less advanced models at lower prices, and to date Apple\u2019s relatively affluent fan base has shown more willingness to keep spending despite high inflation. But the new models will be Apple\u2019s sales anchor during holiday shopping seasons in Western markets during a turbulent period. \u201cApple is not immune to economic weakness,\u201d Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi wrote in note to clients. \n \n\n \n This year\u2019s iPhones may have the ability to send emergency messages through a satellite internet connection when WiFi and mobile networks are not available. The messaging functions would likely be rudimentary, and other companies are working on similar functions. SpaceX founder Elon Musk said last month T-Mobile\u00a0will use its satellites to connect phones directly to the internet. \n \n\n \n Bob O\u2019Donnell of TECHnalysis Research said that the peace of mind from being able to send emergency messages could spur Apple users to upgrade their phones for the satellite feature. \n \n\n \n Apple new Watches \n \n\n \n \u201cEven though it\u2019s not something you do every day, it\u2019ll change your perspective on what you do with your phone,\u201d he said. \n \n\n \n Analysts also expect Apple to show a new range of Apple Watches, including an upgraded budget model called the SE and a Series 8 Watch. They also expect a new high-end watch called the Apple Watch Pro that will likely include new features for athletes, taking aim at rivals such as Garmin Ltd. \n \n\n \n But while accessories like the Apple Watch have driven incremental sales from Apple\u2019s existing user base, the iPhone remains the bedrock of its business with 52.4% of sales in its most recent fiscal year. Investors have been watching for Apple\u2019s next major product category since the Apple Watch launched in 2015. \n \n\n \n Some analysts believe Apple might give a preview of that future by showing a mixed-reality headset on Wednesday. The device is expected to have cameras that pass-through view of the outside world to the wearer while overlaying digital objects on the physical world. Analysts do not expect the device to go on sale until next year at the earliest. \n \n\n \n An early preview would be rare for Apple, which keeps its product plans secret until just before devices hit the market. A rival headset called Project Cambria is in the works from Meta Platforms Inc, which is spending billions of dollars on the project. \n \n\n \n But in order to have compelling apps for a new headset, Apple might need to give developers time to become familiar with it. \u201cDeveloping for a new and radically different type of platform is going to take people a lot longer,\u201d O\u2019Donnell said. \n "
