Apple is all set to host its ‘Far Out’ event on September 7 this year. The tech giant is expected to launch the much-awaited iPhone 14 series along with Apple Watch Series 8 lineup.

Though the company has not revealed much information about the phone yet. There are several reports and leaks online about the upcoming iPhone and the watch lineup.

Apple Watch Pro is likely to be a major model of the upcoming smartwatch series, the "Apple Watch Pro" will feature a larger 47mm case size, according to a report from Japanese website Mac Otakara.

The latest Apple Watch Series 7 comes in 41mm and 45mm case sizes. It is expected that the new Pro model might come with a 1.99-inch display. Additionally, the report adds that the smartwatch will feature a flat display that has curved edges, the flat display is likely to improve the durability of the smartwatch.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman had earlier announced that the “rugged” Apple Watch, designed for athletes, will also come with a flat display.

In addition to a flat display, Apple Watch Pro is also expected to feature a titanium casing, longer battery life, a new Low Power Mode and an S8 chip.

Recently, it was rumoured that Apple may announce its own satellite connectivity feature for the iPhone in partnership with Globalstar. Globalstar owns a constellation of LEO satellites, and Apple is about to announce that the next iPhone will be able to access them.

If the iPhones get this functionality, users will be able to make calls and send messages without the need for a 4G or 5G cellular connection. For the unversed, the upcoming iPhone 14 series is likely to include iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
