Apple event - as it happened: iPhone 14 Pro, new AirPods and Watch Ultra unveiled

The September 2022 Apple event is named ‘Far out’, potentially hinting at the unveiling of some device or technology that is still a way off.

Could it be the much-hyped Apple Car? Or perhaps a pair of augmented reality glasses that have long been in development? Or maybe something else entirely?

My bet is it’s a reference to the satellite technology I mentioned earlier, which will allow emergency calls from anywhere on planet Earth.

With less than half an hour to go until it kicks off, we don’t have long to wait to find out...

Just 10 minutes to go now until we see Apple boss Tim Cook walk onto the stage at Apple Park to kick off this year’s event.

Few things in life are certain: Death, taxes, and Tim Cook opening a keynote saying “good morning!”

If you can’t wait five more minutes (or probably more like 15 for the actually announcement to be made), you can read up on everything we know so far about what to expect from the iPhone 14 - including release date, specs and versions - right here.

Apple’s official live stream of the event is underway, playing some funky music while spinning around some star formations that come together to form the company’s logo.

You can watch the live stream at the top of this page.

Zooming through the galaxy we arrive to Earth, where the camera pans over to California and to Apple Park and Tim Cook, who is waiting to greet us.

“Good morning,” he begins.

Tim Cook confirms that the three main items on the menu this morning will be the iPhone, the AirPods and the Apple Watch.

We’re going to start with the Apple Watch.

Tim Cook promises the “best Apple Watch lineup yet”, as he hands over to chief operating officer Jeff Williams to tell us all about the Apple Watch Series 8.

It’s swim proof, dust proof and crack resistant. Here’s what it looks like:

Menstrual cycle tracking updates are coming to the Apple Watch Series 8.

Among these is a wrist sensor that samples a wearer’s temperature every five minutes, which can help indicate ovulation and therefore improve people’s chance of conceiving.

Apple Watch Series 8 includes two improved pieces of hardware that can sense when a wearer suffers a serious collision. The Crash Detect feature will allow wearers to contact emergency services from their wrist should they ever need to.

“We truly hope you’ll never need it, but hope you’ll feel a little bit safer every time you get in the car.”

Apple Watch Series 8 will receive a new Low Power Mode, as well as a host of new cases and straps.

It’s going to start at $399 for the GPS version and $499 for cellular.

Orders open today, it will be available on 16 September.
