In the new monthly update of the Stage Manager tool, optimizations for Spotlight were revealed, and similar to previous years, made changes also to the desktop operating system.
One of Apple’s exciting tools unveiled in the new update is called Stage Manager, which users can access through the Control Center and must activate. The above tool puts the open apps on one side of the screen and assigns the center of the screen to the app. In this case, users can move the icons from the desktop to the panel next to the user programs.
The new operating system for Apple smartwatches
Apple also unveiled the new version of its wearable equipment operating system, watchOS 9. This operating system has also experienced significant changes, including updates to the workout program. So watchOS 9 uses three new criteria to evaluate people’s sports and running movements.
To be more precise, it uses a gyroscope and accelerometer to estimate the way of running, the length of the legs, and the contact time of the foot with the ground so that the number of calories burned can check accurately. In addition, the Fitness app was made available to iPhone owners so that people who don’t have Apple Voice have the chance to use the app.
Unveiling the iPhone 14 family
If you remember, Steve Jobs believed that iPhones should be small, while after his death, we saw Apple competing with Samsung and decided to design iPhones with large dimensions. It seems that Apple has again decided to follow the path of Steve Jobs.
Apple said goodbye to mini-iPhones by unveiling the 6.7-inch iPhone with two cameras. As it seems, iPhone 14 Plus is a step in this field. At this year’s conference, Apple unveiled iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. iPhone 14 is scheduled to be released on September 16, equivalent to September 25, but the iPhone 14 Plus version will be released in almost a month.
Launched The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max versions will also on September 16. The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are equipped with the A15 Bionic chip, while the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max are equipped with the newer generation A16 Bionic chip. One of the exciting features of these four new iPhones is the ability to send emergency messages through satellite communications.
iPhone 14 has a 6.1-inch screen, A15 Bionic chip, 12MP wide and ultrawide camera, 12MP selfie camera, 128/256/512GB internal memory, 4GB, and iOS 16 operating system.

iPhone 14 Pro Max is equipped with a 6.7-inch screen, A16 Bionic chip, 48 megapixel/12-megapixel telephoto, ultra-wide camera, 12-megapixel selfie camera, 128/256/512 GB and 1 TB internal memory, 6 GB of main memory, and system The agent is iOS 16.
One of the exciting features of the iPhone 14 series models is that all models in the United States are marketed only with an electronic SIM card (eSIM). Electronic SIM card technology has the dimensions of nano SIM cards and can connect to telecommunication networks. To be more precise, Apple has removed the SIM card slot.
The above SIM cards allow users to change the SIM card number through the relevant operator online and no longer need to wait for the physical SIM card to be sent. The main difference between the above SIM cards and the physical version is that there is no need for a SIM card tray, and the user receives a SIM card activation card and a QR code.
Undoubtedly, Apple’s move will prompt other smartphone manufacturers to follow suit so that we may say goodbye to physical SIM cards in the coming years.
Apple Watch 8
During the conference, Apple also unveiled the Apple Watch Series 8, which performs better than the old models. Apple Watch Series 8 has thinner bezels than previous models, which has made the watch screen closer to the edges.
The new generation uses the S8 chip, but it has the features of the previous versions. In addition, the always-on retina display of the Apple Watch can show the letters in a more legible form to the user. It means that the performance of smartwatches of old and new ages are the same. On the other hand, significant changes have been made in the operating system.
For example, attractive features such as exercise reminders have been provided to cyclists. In addition, the new watch has received new updates to watchOS 9 and added medicine software.
The new Apple product has two temperature detection sensors, one under the device and the second under the screen. These two sensors can evaluate temperature changes every five seconds. However, one of the exciting features added to the Apple Watch is the Crash Detection feature. The function of the new feature is that if the user has an accident, the watch will quickly recognize this issue and send the user’s location to the emergency audience.
Series 8 consumes less energy than version 7 and serves the user for a more extended period to serve the user for up to 18 hours, and if the new low-power mode feature is activated, up to 36 hours for the user. Provides service Also, the battery charging process is 33% faster than before, and 80% of the battery is charged in just 45 minutes.

So that users can control the volume with a quick touch of the finger from top to bottom. Also, for things like changing music, answering phone calls, and the like, touch the device’s base and use Siri.
It is good to know that this Apple product supports the surround sound feature and can adjust the sound by evaluating the user’s physical characteristics (size, shape of the user’s head, and ears).
Unveiling the new generation of Apple A16 Bionic processors
One of Apple’s big announcements in this field is the 4nm A16 Bionic chip. This chip is designed based on 4nm lithography and will significantly improve the performance of the iPhone 14 Pro.
The above chip is in the two flagship phones of this company, i.e., iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. A chip equipped with 16 billion transistors. This amount of transistors are at the disposal of intelligent algorithms that the iOS operating system and Apple applications use.
The new processor is six cores, two cores optimized to provide the highest performance and four seats optimized to have the lowest consumption. In addition, the graphics processor is also a 5-core, which in interaction with a 16-core engine based on neural network algorithms, can process more than 17 billion operations simultaneously per second.
Another exciting feature of the new chip is the presence of a dedicated and customized ISP processor that serves the iPhone 14 Pro camera. So that the processor uses the graphics processing unit and the neural network engine along with the ISP so that the iPhone camera can record the best images.
More precisely, every time a user takes a photo with a new iPhone, more than 4 billion operations are performed by the phone.
Another improved feature in the new chip is the engine responsible for managing the display light. A machine capable of setting the brightness limit to 2000 nits and providing the best refresh rate to smooth the edges of curved images.
Users who purchase Apple’s new iPhone Pro will notice that animations run more smoothly.
In the security field, the new chip also has a lot to say in storing users’ data, such as facial recognition and audience, health information, etc., in an encrypted form. As a result, this information can only be accessed through the iPhone.
