- Apple’s expected to have an all-new lineup of iPhones this year, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max
- The iPhone release schedule over the past seven years has been incredibly consistent, with the iPhone X as a notable outlier in 2017
- Apple is facing challenges scaling production of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max due to its ambitious plans to significantly reduce the size of the bezels around the display
With WWDC now behind us, the next thing on Apple’s schedule for the year is the announcement and release of the iPhone 15 lineup. As of right now, the expectation is that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro lineups will come out around the same time as iPhones do every year…but perhaps in very limited quantities. Apple is expected to prioritize iPhone 15 production over all of its other products in order to meet the September release date.
However, Apple is reportedly facing a speedbump in its production of the iPhone 15. According to a recent report, Apple is facing challenges scaling production of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max due to its ambitious plans to significantly reduce the size of the bezels around the display. As it stands right now, Apple isn’t planning on delaying the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Instead, the company is planning to announce and release the devices as normal in September, just in limited quantities.
As for what to expect with the iPhone 15 lineup, there will be a few changes. All models will feature USB-C for charging, slimmer bezels, a Dynamic Island feature for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, a new titanium finish on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and a new A17 Bionic chip on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max made with the 3nm production process. Additionally, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature a periscope lens for improved optical zoom.
