Apple Keynote with the new iPhone - Now LIVE
Update from September 7, 7:01 p.m .:
Ok, let’s start with a video and a tracking shot that ends up directly with Apple boss Tim in the Cupertino headquarters.
And the apple boss makes it clear what he has with him today: iPhone, Air Pods and Apple Watch.
Update from September 7th, 6:55 p.m.:
Ok, only a few minutes until the keynote.
We report live about the new iPhone and its price and what else the group has up its sleeve for the Christmas business.
And for everyone who wants to watch for themselves: The live stream also starts right here.
Is there "One more thing" tonight?
Update from September 7th, 6:15 p.m .:
What does Apple boss Tim Cook have in his luggage tonight?
The new iPhone 14 should be set.
With its flagship, the group makes a good half of its sales and thus also generates extra income from the Apple Watch or music subscriptions.
That's why the group isn't skimping on anything for the important Christmas business.
In addition, the popular Air Pods Pro are ripe for an overhaul.
Cook should also present new products for the Apple Watch.
However, most augurs believe that it is still too early for the VR glasses that many observers have been longing for.
It looks like fans will have to wait for the legendary "One more thing".
Concerns about an economic downturn are growing at Apple
Update from September 7, 5:53 p.m .:
In view of the global economic downturn, caution is also growing at Apple.
The group is said to have reduced pre-orders for the new MacPro models, writes the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo on Twitter.
After that, Apple reduced the orders for the important year-end business by 20 to 30 percent before the start of production of the new 14 and 16 inch devices.
In addition to the recession, Apple is also reacting to the falling number of employees working from home.
Kuo has an excellent network among the group's suppliers and is considered one of the best Apple experts in the world.
Update from September 7th, 5.35 p.m .:
Just under an hour and a half until the keynote.
Apple fans who can't make it to the beer garden today can be there via the web.
The Group broadcasts its most important event of the current year on YouTube and on its website.
For the first time since the corona pandemic, the group invited journalists to Cupertino for the iPhone show.
Popular function is probably making a comeback
Update from September 7th, 4:47 p.m.:
Parallel to the launch of the new iPhone, Apple traditionally also updates its iOS operating system.
With the new iOS 16, a function popular with many users is likely to celebrate its comeback.
Because with the latest iOS Beta 5, the Californians have also revised the battery display in the status bar at the top of the screen.
In the future, the battery symbol could be supplemented with a percentage.
Apple had abolished the corresponding option a few years ago.
Many users were not happy about it.
Shortly before the keynote, Apple boss Tim Cook fueled the anticipation among Apple fans
Update from September 7th, 3:42 p.m .:
Just over four hours until the keynote at Apple.
Now CEO Tim Cook is already drumming for the event at Apple headquarters: "Good morning!
We look forward to an outstanding Apple event,” Cook wrote on Twitter.
In addition, the top iPhone boss posts a rainbow photo of the group's headquarters in Cupertino.
It rains likes from Apple fans.
Within an hour Cook brings it to a good 12,500 hearts.
Apple is shutting down the store
Update from September 7th, 3:42 p.m.:
The preparation for the
Apple
keynote tonight is underway.
In Germany, Apple has now shut down its online shop.
“We are updating the Apple Store.
Check back soon,” the website says.
The Californians' electronic storefronts can usually be reached again at the end of the
keynote
.
In Germany, that should be around 8 p.m. tonight.
Apple Store: In the run-up to the keynote on Wednesday evening, the Californians shut down their stores.
In Germany, too, there is a pause for conversion.

Apple Keynote: What the new iPhone 14 can do - and what else the company has in store
First report from September 7th, 3:15 p.m.:
Apple is facing the most important day of the year.
On Wednesday evening (September 7th), the Californians invited to their traditional fall keynote.
Then the tech giant will in all probability also present the next iPhone generation.
In addition to a significantly improved iPhone 14, Apple boss Tim Cook is likely to present a whole range of other innovations in his keynote.
In addition to the new generation of its flagship smartphone, observers are also speculating about Air Pods Pro and a completely new Apple Watch.
In addition, the group could possibly announce a completely new product category for the first time in many years.
We will report here in the live ticker from 7 p.m. when the Apple boss launches the new iPhone 14 models.
Which innovations Apple is planning for its flagship, what else could CEO Tim Cook unpack in his keynote in the evening.
An overview
iPhone 14: The big innovations are probably reserved for the Pro models
The new generation of the iPhone 14 should include a total of four versions: The iPhone 14 with a 6.1-inch screen and the iPhone 14 Max or Plus (6.7 inches) as well as the two high-end versions iPhone 14 Pro (6.1 inch) and the iPhone 14 Max/Plus (6.7 inch).
The Pro line is said to differ from the two basic models in that it has significantly better hardware equipment.
This includes the new and faster A16 processor and a 48 megapixel camera, which should enable even better recordings.
In addition, the Apple engineers should also screw on the device design.
According to several reports, the cut-out at the top of the display should be smaller again.
In addition, the camera lenses on the back are likely to be larger than before due to the higher resolution.
In addition, Apple wants to give its top models an always-on display in the future.
This means that important widgets such as battery status or news tickers are always visible.
So that this does not come at the expense of the runtime, Apple is probably also planning larger batteries for the Pro models, writes Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman.
Gurman, who is considered one of the best Apple experts, also expects the introduction of the eSim, possibly as early as this year.
Apple already uses the technology with the Apple Watch.
The embedded or embedded SIM is installed on the semiconductor circuit board in the device and is activated by the provider when the contract is concluded.
This is convenient and also saves space in the device.
iPhone 14 could be significantly more expensive
However, the new iPhone models could possibly be significantly more expensive, the augurs speculate.
After that, the base iPhone14 models with 128GB of storage could be $749 and $799, respectively, and $849 and $949 for the big brother, depending on the source.
The corresponding Pro and Plus variants could bring it to $1049 and $1099, respectively, and $1149 and $1199 for the largest iPhone variant.
For comparison: The iPhone 13 Pro currently costs 999 dollars, the XL version 1099 dollars.
At the start of sales, Apple could be a little faster than usual, Gurman suspects.
After that, the first devices could be on the market as early as September 16th.
Two weeks usually elapse between the premiere and the market launch of the iPhone.
But with an eye on financial investors, Apple could take part of the iPhone business as early as the fourth quarter of its fiscal year (September 30), observers say.
New AirPods Pro
In addition to the iPhone, the Californians should also launch the second generation of AirPods Pro.
The popular headphones, together with the Apple Watch, now account for the lion's share of the group's accessories business.
In the first three quarters of the current financial year alone, the division (wearables, home, accessories) contributed a good ten percent to group sales with 31.6 billion dollars.
The new version should contain the new H2 chip and will also support Bluetooth 5.2 and the Apple Lossless Audio Codec in the future.
Observers are hoping for further sound improvements in video conferences or music.
In addition, the charging box should also be able to send a tone on request in the future so that it can be found more easily.
In addition, the case should also be able to be located via the Find My app in the future.
Growth in the Apple Watch
In addition to the AirPods and the iPhone, Apple boss Tim Cook could also add to the popular Apple Watch in the evening.
Observers expect that Cook could refresh the Watch SE entry-level model and also launch the Apple Watch Series 8 and the new top model Apple Watch Series 8 Pro.
Compared to the current Apple Watch 7, version 8 should be a little more powerful thanks to the new S8 chip.
There should also be a new sensor for measuring body temperature.
According to unanimous reports, the company is giving the new top model Apple Watch 8 Pro a newly developed and noticeably larger housing, more display and more powerful batteries.
The group is primarily targeting ambitious hobby athletes who want to keep more data in view during training.
With the new version, Apple obviously wants to counter the advance of Garmin with its own offer.
