The exciting launch of the iPhone 15 series is just around the corner, and we can expect Apple to hold its usual September event. Leaks and rumors have already given us a glimpse of what to expect from the next-generation iPhones. Apple is likely to unveil four models, similar to last year’s lineup. Here’s a rundown of what you need to know:
Display
The iPhone 15 is expected to maintain its 6.1-inch size, but with a twist – a dynamic island notch, as seen on the iPhone 14 Pro models. This notch can adapt its shape and size based on notifications, possibly paving the way for features like a 120Hz refresh rate and an always-on display, although nothing is confirmed yet.
Chipset
The iPhone 15 will likely be powered by Apple’s powerful Bionic A16 chipset, just like the iPhone 14 Pro models. Apple seems to continue its trend of offering flagship-level performance on lower-priced models. Meanwhile, the Pro models are expected to boast the latest Bionic A17 processor, making them Apple’s premium offerings.
Battery
The iPhone 15 models are rumored to come with larger batteries compared to their predecessors. The standard version might feature a 3,877mAh battery, while the iPhone 15 Plus could sport an even bigger 4,912mAh battery.
Storage
The iPhone 15 Pro models are likely to offer a massive 1TB storage option, with variants also available in 256GB and 512GB. More space for all your data and media.
Camera
The standard iPhone 15 versions could see a significant camera upgrade, with 48-megapixel rear sensors, matching the Pro models from the iPhone 14 series. However, the Pro models might still hold some exclusives, like a telephoto lens for optical zoom and a LiDAR scanner.
Type-C Port
One major change to look forward to is the replacement of Apple’s Lightning port with a USB Type-C port. This switch will make charging more convenient, as you’ll be able to use the same USB-C charger for multiple devices.
Pricing
The anticipated pricing for the entry-level iPhone 15 series is as follows:
- iPhone 15: $799
- iPhone 15 Plus: $899
However, the iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to have a starting price above $1,000 for the first time. This means that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max may be priced at $1,099 and $1,199, respectively. This reflects a $100 increase compared to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which currently start at $999 and $1,099, respectively.
The iPhone 15 series promises some exciting improvements and features, making it an eagerly awaited release for Apple enthusiasts.
