Apple on Tuesday announced the launch of the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, as well as other devices.
Experts said that Apple’s new iPhone 13 series and new iPad mini will promote the popularization of 5G and help the technology giant maintain its dominance in the industry.
They said that the release of iPhone 13 is not only a major event for Apple, but also for the entire 5G industry. It will intensify competition among smartphone manufacturers.
iPhone 13 series released: UAE pre-order date
Market insiders and industry experts said that Apple released the new iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch as expected. However, contrary to some predictions, it did not release a new AirPods headset.
Strong 5G lineup
Anisha Bhatia, a senior technical analyst at leading data and analysis company GlobalData, said that Apple’s new iPhone 13 will promote the popularization of 5G.
“Unlike Android, iOS users lack a rich selection of 5G devices. The iPhone 13 series is a welcome addition to consumers who want to upgrade,” Bhatia told Khaleej Times.
iPhone 13 released: UAE price announced
Bhatia said that the California-based company’s main competitor, Samsung, has 5G phones at various price points and is the first choice for operators that actively promote 5G services, especially in the United States.
“The price of the basic iPhone 13 is $799, which is the same price as the old iPhone 12, but with twice the storage memory.”
Apple announced on Tuesday night iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 7, new regular iPad and brand new iPad mini.
Cook returns to the stage
Apple CEO Tim Cook returned to the stage in an empty auditorium to end the virtual event that took place after the pandemic that swept the global economy last year.
The new iPad will go on sale after the event on Tuesday and is expected to ship next week. The new iPhone will go on sale on September 17 and ship on September 24, and the Series 7 Watch will ship later this fall.
Bhatia said: “These phones include faster A15 bionic chips, improved durability through ceramic shielded displays, larger batteries, and camera and video upgrades-including the addition of ProMotion updates to the Pro models, which should encourage upgrades.”
By 2030, Apple will be carbon neutral
Bhatia said that every time Apple releases a product, it spends a lot of time discussing the sustainability of the device. Apple promises that by 2030, its supply chain and products will be 100% carbon neutral.
“Apple’s iPhone is its largest source of revenue, accounting for 40% to 50% of the company’s total return, and Apple has a large installed base waiting to be upgraded. Through a large number of promotional activities, the iPhone 13 will provide mobile phones ranging from 0 to 100 US dollars from the iPhone 12 The beginning of the 5G super cycle.”
iPhone 5G marketing
Technology enthusiast Abhinav Prohvat said that the release of iPhone 13 marks a major event-not only for Apple, but also for the entire 5G industry.
“Although this is by no means the first 5G smartphone-when Apple launched its first 5G-enabled phone (iPhone 12) last year-it showed great enthusiasm, and the sales of the device set a record. It helped bring 5G to the forefront and center of the topic and led many early adopters to adopt the technology.
“As 5G is now becoming more and more common, more and more telecommunications companies provide it in their networks-the new iPhone 13 will help to significantly promote the development of 5G-whether it is a telecommunications company or Apple . I would not be surprised to see 5G-marketing focused on the iPhone is now everywhere,” Prohvat told Khaleej Times on Wednesday.
Gaming phone
Another important measure of this event is Apple’s recognition of the continuous expansion of the gaming space. This new phone is equipped with a powerful chip and iOS features optimized for games.
“All of this will help Apple get serious into the gaming phone space. This is great, especially for the Middle Eastern market where games are proliferating-especially in the post-pandemic era,” Prohvat said.
The technology enthusiast said that the Achilles heel of the previous iPhone was its battery life, which made many users unhappy. Although the new iPhone is expected to solve this problem, the jury will no longer exist before the device actually reaches the user.
“An interesting development of Apple’s activities is the launch of the 5G-enabled iPad. The iPad has become an important work device, and now with 5G support, business users will see a major benefit-working remotely and on-going at the same time,” Watt said.
