Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com August 28, Apple has announced that it will hold a "Far Out" special event at 1: 00 a.m. Beijing time on September 8. This is still in the form of an online launch, which is expected to bring new products such as the iPhone 14 / Pro series and Apple Watch Series 8, as well as the launch of the official version of iOS 16.

For more than a year, there have been rumors that Apple is working on introducing satellite capabilities into iPhone, and now the news is that it is likely to appear in the new iPhone 14 series. In addition to helping iPhone users report emergencies in areas where there is no cellular service, it is now reported that Apple is also considering supporting satellite connectivity on Apple Watch Pro devices.

The next generation of rugged Apple Watch Pro may have satellite connectivity, Bloomberg Mark Gurman said in the Power On newsletter.

"the company has also discussed internally the idea of providing satellite capabilities for its watches, which may make sense for future versions of a new generation of more robust Apple Watch Pro."

In today's newsletter, Gurman discusses the importance of adding satellite links to iPhone.

"this is better than the current iPhone and Apple Watch functions, please climb to another tall building, you can quickly call emergency services and provide them with location. The prospect of having an iPhone and getting first aid without a cellular connection is just the beginning of Apple's plan. Eventually, users can access the global Internet and be able to make regular phone calls over satellite links. The combination of fast 5G networks and satellite services will one day turn iPhone into the most powerful global communications device. "

Although the rumored first-generation Apple Watch Pro is not expected to support satellite connectivity, the watch will also bring regular high-end upgrades.

It is reported that the Apple Watch Pro will be visually different from the new design of Apple Watch Series 8, despite disagreements over rumors about whether it has a flat edge. Gurman talked about "the evolution of current rectangular shapes".

One of the main changes in Apple Watch Pro will be its manufacturing materials. Currently, Apple Watch is available in aluminum, stainless steel and titanium. According to reports, Apple Watch Pro will adopt a "more durable titanium alloy formula", and Apple is trying to make it as strong as possible.

CTOnews.com learned that the Apple Watch Pro reportedly has a longer battery life in addition to the larger 1.99in display design. Longer battery life will be a key factor in the durability of the Apple Watch's extreme sports model.

Much like Apple Watch Series 8, the new Apple Watch Pro is expected to add support for temperature measurement. Although Apple Watch cannot accurately measure body temperature, it sends an alarm when it detects a rise in body temperature. The user can then use a traditional thermometer to measure the temperature accurately.

"Apple iPhone 14 / Pro launch" forward-looking invitation letter implies three major functions: satellite connection, astrophotography, and AOD message screen display. "
