The tech world is abuzz with the latest rumours about Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15. Even though the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro models were only released in September 2022, the rumour mill has been churning out speculation about the iPhone 15 for quite some time. Now, as the launch date approaches, we have a clearer picture of what to expect from Apple’s latest offering.
Apple is reportedly planning to release four iPhone 15 models, mirroring the sizes of the iPhone 14 models. This includes two 6.1-inch iPhones and two 6.7-inch iPhones. The standard iPhone 15 will be one of the 6.1-inch models, while one of the 6.7-inch models will be the iPhone 15 “Plus”. The other 6.1 and 6.7-inch iPhones will be the more expensive “Pro” models, which could be even pricier this year.
The best features, as usual, will be reserved for the iPhone 15 Pro models. Rumours suggest that all iPhone 15 models will feature a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port, and the Dynamic Island will be available for all models. This means Apple is doing away with the notch that it has used since the iPhone X, opting for a sleeker, less intrusive design.
Apple plans to use Qualcomm modem chips for the new devices, as its own modem chips are still in development. We can also expect new UWB chips for integration with the Vision Pro headset. The standard iPhone 15 models will get an upgrade to the A16 chip that was in the iPhone 14 Pro models, while the iPhone 15 Pro models will use faster and more efficient 3-nanometer A17 chips.
The Pro models are also expected to see an upgrade to titanium frames, slimmer bezels, and some minor design changes with more curved device edges. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is also expected to get periscope lens technology for enhanced zoom capabilities.
Despite these upgrades, pricing on the iPhone 15 models is expected to remain the same, with the standard entry-level 6.1-inch device starting at $799 and the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus starting at $899.
The iPhone 15 models are expected to look similar to the iPhone 14 models, but the pill-and-hole cutout will expand to the entire lineup. This means all iPhone 15 models will have no notch, instead adopting the Dynamic Island introduced in the iPhone 14 Pro models.
The iPhone 15 models could be available in dark pink and light blue color options, alongside the standard black, white, and PRODUCT(RED) color options.
While all iPhone 15 models are going to adopt the USB-C port, there are some design changes that are exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Rumours suggest the iPhone 15 Pro models will feature thinner, more curved bezels than the iPhone 14 Pro models.
The iPhone 15 promises to be an exciting addition to Apple’s lineup, with a host of new features and design changes.
As always, we’ll have to wait until the official launch to see if these rumours hold true.
