#1627: iPhone 14 lineup, Apple Watch SE/Series 8/Ultra, new AirPods Pro, iOS 16 and watchOS 9 released, Steve Jobs Archive

What a week! Apple has just released iOS 16, watchOS 9, tvOS 16, and HomePod Software 16, with iPadOS 16 and macOS 13 Ventura due next month. At last week’s Far Out event, Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus with new emergency features like satellite communications and car crash detection, and the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with an Always-On display and new Dynamic Island feature for notifications. Apple also rolled out the second-generation Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Series 8, and new Apple Watch Ultra—a larger, rugged model for endurance athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. And if you’re looking for new AirPods, the second-generation AirPods Pro boast better audio and longer battery life. Adam Engst muses on the barriers he hurdled while ordering a new iPhone 14 Pro and deciding to hold off on an Apple Watch Ultra. Finally, we cover the launch of the Steve Jobs Archive, a website dedicated to looking back at a man who seldom looked back. Notable Mac app releases this week include Pixelmator Pro 2.4.7, BusyCal 2022.3.2, Keyboard Maestro 10.2,  1Password 8.9.4, Safari 16, and macOS Monterey 12.6 and Big Sur 11.7.
