As people around the world finally return to normal after the COVID-19 pandemic, tech companies everywhere are launching new gadgets to serve their needs. However, with other important issues still plaguing the world—such as surging inflation and Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine—the success of these new products is yet to be determined. Recent information shows that gadget sales are expected to drop in 2022, with companies like Apple and HP warning that PC and laptop sales are already lagging.
Even so, new technologies are now available on numerous devices and wearables, and consumers in the US and abroad are expected to take advantage of upcoming sales events to discover them. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday rapidly approaching, more and more Americans are now looking at new gadgets they might be able to buy at a discount soon. Moreover, with the accelerated pace of gadget development, consumer demand seems to be on the rise as well. Let’s take a look at five new gadgets people should consider buying this fall.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus
Apple’s iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are some of the most highly anticipated smartphones this year. Not only do both these devices boast great battery life, but the iPhone 14 Plus actually promises the best battery life ever on an iPhone, according to Apple. Both phones also feature Apple’s powerful A15 Bionic Processor—a new internal design that provides better thermal efficiency, and a Super Retina XDR display. The phones also feature 12 megapixel main and ultra-wide cameras, and an improved Cinematic mode that automatically shifts focus to the most important subject in a scene. The devices are available from $33.29 per month for 24 months, or $799 before trade-in.
iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max
Positioned at considerably higher price points, Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max promise to deliver better user experiences when compared to the models discussed above. Both of these smartphones feature the innovative 48MP main camera, as well as an extra 12MP telephoto lens that can provide users with up to 3x optical zoom in and 2x zoom out. Moreover, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max also have ceramic shield cases which are tougher than any smartphone glass case, according to Apple.
