Similar Design but Better Features
It seems that Apple is not keen on redesigning the iPhone’s exterior. Instead, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models will feature the same aluminum frame with flat edges and glass front and back as the iPhone 14. This is great news for iPhone 14 owners, as they will not need to buy new phone cases.
The Big Change: USB C
The iPhone 15 models will have a significant change in their ports. For the first time in 11 years, Apple will ditch the lightning port and use the USB-C port instead. The change came in response to the European Union’s regulatory requirements.
The good news is that the USB-C charger is more versatile, allowing users to charge their MacBooks, iPads, iPhones, and even other electronic devices such as Kindles.
Dynamic Island is now Standard
The Dynamic Island feature will now be available in the entry-level 15 and 15 Plus models instead of being exclusive to the Pro and Pro Max. Thanks to Apple’s decision to lower the cost of the module.
The iPhone 15 and 15 plus will get the A16 Bionic
The iPhone 15 models will feature an A16 chip, putting their performance on par with last year’s iPhone Pro models. Thanks to the more power-efficient OLED display driver chip, built on a 28 nm process, all the new 15 models are expected to have even better battery life than last year.
iPhone 15 & 15 Plus New Colors
The iPhone 15 models will come in new colors, with dark pink and light blue being the latest additions to the standard white, black, and product red.
15 Pro and Pro Max: A New Design
The 15 Pro and Pro Max models will have a new design. Apple has opted for a soft-rounded edge design that’s 0.4 mm thicker than the 14 Pro models, with small reductions in height and width.
The curve won’t be as aggressive as the iPhone X or 11, but it will provide more grip and less palm discomfort. Apple will use titanium for the 15 Pro’s frame, making it lighter and stronger than the 14 Pro’s stainless steel frame.
Thinner Bezels and New Solid-State Buttons
The bezel of the 15 Pro models will be thinner than the 14 Pro models, measuring just 1.55 mm thick. This will set a new record for smartphone bezel thinness.
The 15 Pro models will feature new solid-state volume, power, and Action buttons. These buttons will use Taptic engines to simulate clicks without actually moving. The mute switch will be replaced with an Action button, customizable with a variety of actions.
Periscope Lens System on the iPhone 15 Pro Max
The periscope lens system is expected to be the standout feature of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It will allow for 6x optical zoom, which is twice the zoom capability of the iPhone 15 Pro.
This feature will be a game-changer for photographers who need a high-quality zoom lens without having to carry additional equipment. Additionally, the periscope lens system will only be available on the iPhone 15 Pro Max due to the space it takes up within the device.
A new A17 Chipset for the 15 Pro Models
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are expected to feature Apple’s new A17 chip. This chipset will be the first to be built on a 3-nanometer process, making it more efficient than previous iterations.
The new chip is expected to improve processing performance by up to 15 percent while reducing power consumption by up to 30 percent. These performance upgrades will make the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max faster and more efficient than ever before.
SIM Tray Removal in Additional Countries
Apple is rumored to be removing the SIM tray in additional countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the UK. This feature was first introduced in the iPhone 12, allowing for a thinner design and a cleaner look.
By removing the SIM tray, Apple can create more space inside the device for other components. Users in these countries will need to rely on eSIM technology to activate their iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max.
New Exclusive Color
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are rumored to feature a new exclusive color: dark red. This color has never been seen on an iPhone before and is expected to be a hit among consumers. Apple is known for its unique color choices, and the addition of dark red to its lineup will surely be a popular choice.
Pricing
The 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max were priced at $999 and $1,099, respectively. But for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, we can expect them to be likely more expensive than their predecessors.
The addition of a periscope lens system, an A17 chip, and a titanium frame may contribute to a higher price point. However, consumers can expect to receive a top-of-the-line smartphone with industry-leading features and performance.
Of course, this is just speculation, and Apple may surprise us with different pricing, but it’s safe to say that the Pro models will be a premium option for those willing to pay for the latest and greatest technology.
It’s worth noting that Apple typically offers trade-in deals and financing options for their products, so if you’re interested in upgrading to the new iPhone, be sure to check out these options to make the cost more manageable.
Final Thoughts
The iPhone 15 is coming, and it’s bringing several exciting features. The change to USB-C, Dynamic Island module, improved performance and battery life, new colors, and the 15 Pro’s new design and thinner bezels are just a few things to look forward to. Overall, the iPhone 15 models are expected to be the best iPhones yet, delivering better performance and a more user-friendly experience.
