The iPhone 15 series could be available less than two months from now. As the iPhone 14 nears its end-cycle, rumors about the next generation continue to ramp up. _BGR_ gathered the most important reports about the iPhone 15 models. Here’s what you need to know.
Leaks and CADs of the iPhone 15 models: Over February, we’re able to get a first look at the upcoming iPhone models. 9to5Mac got its hands on a 3D render of what to expect from the Pro iPhone, revealing thinner bezels, rounded edges, and, of course, a USB-C port instead of Lightning. MacRumors, on the other hand, received a blurry image of what seems to be an actual iPhone 15 model. This regular version, as rumored, features Dynamic Island and a USB-C port as well.
Design: The Dynamic Island welcomes more people: According to display analyst Ross Young, Apple will bring the Dynamic Island to all iPhone 15 models. That said, it doesn’t mean all versions will have the Always-On display technology or ProMotion. Young believes these two features will keep exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro series. Twitter user ShrimpApplePro believes the Pro models will have thinner bezels and curved edges, similar to recent iterations of the Apple Watch. Another leaker says the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have the thinner bezels ever in a smartphone, as it will be just 1.55mm thin.
iPhone 15 colors: 9to5Mac heard from its sources that Apple is testing a very dark red color for the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models. In addition, the publication says Apple is also testing light blue and pink for the upcoming regular iPhone 15 models. That said, if the company follows the trend, we could see these two colors alongside Midnight, Starlight, and (PRODUCT)RED. In addition to this rumor, a leaker who accurately reported that Apple would release a yellow iPhone 14 model said the company is testing a cyan color for the regular iPhone 15 that would look similar to the green iPhone 12. Now, it seems it could be closer to mint green.
A17 Bionic chip, RAM, and storage options: TrendForce says Apple will continue its strategy with two different chips for the new iPhones. According to the publication, the iPhone 15 Pro will feature the new A17 chip, while the regular versions will stick with the A16. All new models will get 8GB of RAM. Information about storage options is still unclear, although it doesn’t seem Apple will offer more than it already does. Bloomberg gave a bit more information regarding how the A17 Bionic chip will affect the iPhone 15 Pro models.
A dive into the iPhone 15 cameras: TrendForce says the iPhone 15 Pro Max/Ultra version will finally get the long-rumored periscope lens. Analysts believe the periscope lens on the bigger iPhone could go up to 6x zoom. Kuo says it was expected that this iPhone would get an 8P lens, but it doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Jeff Pu of Haitong Intl Tech Research shows that Apple has learned from the poor iPhone 14 sales and will include an important feature to these phones.
Pricing: According to a post by user yeux1122 on Naver, Apple could change how it differentiates the regular and the iPhone Pro lines, including making the regular phones cheaper. Here are the rumored prices:
- iPhone 15: $699
- 15 Plus: $799
The 2023 iPhone series is looking to be the most impressive yet! Apple is reportedly exploring the idea of introducing an iPhone Ultra model, in addition to the regular and Pro versions. It is also expected that the iPhone 15 models will feature an A17 Bionic chip, increased RAM, a periscope lens for the Pro Max, and the biggest battery increase for every model. Furthermore, Apple is said to be introducing USB-C, 5G modem, and Wi-Fi 6E as well as iOS 17. This operating system will be bringing updates to the Contacts app, FaceTime, and a new Journal app. Don’t miss out on the latest iPhone 15 news and rumors – check out BGR for the latest updates!
