The highly anticipated launch of the iPhone 15 series is expected to take place in less than two months, following Apple’s tradition of hosting the event in September each year. Although the official launch is still a few weeks away, several leaks have surfaced on the internet that provides insights into what can be expected from Apple’s next-generation iPhones. Reports suggest that the company will unveil four models, similar to the previous year. Here’s a roundup of the key information:
The iPhone 15 is likely to retain the 6.1-inch display size, similar to the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14. However, Apple might introduce a dynamic island notch on the standard model. This innovative notch design, previously seen on the iPhone 14 Pro models, can adapt its shape and size based on notifications. This development opens up possibilities for incorporating features like a 120 Hz refresh rate and an always-on display, which are already available on various Android devices. However, these features have not been confirmed yet.
The iPhone 15 is also expected to be powered by Apple’s powerful Bionic A16 chipset, the same technology that powered last year’s iPhone 14 Pro versions. This follows Apple’s trend of offering lower-priced models with flagship-level performance. On the other hand, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models are expected to feature the company’s latest Bionic A17 processor, as these will be Apple’s premium offerings for the year.
Compared to their predecessors, the alleged battery capacities of the iPhone 15 models are expected to witness significant increases. The iPhone 15 is rumoured to feature a 3,877mAh battery, surpassing the 3,279mAh unit found in the iPhone 14. Similarly, the iPhone 15 Plus is speculated to house a larger 4,912mAh battery, a notable improvement from the 4,325mAh capacity of the iPhone 14 Plus. As for the Pro models, reports suggest that the iPhone 15 Pro will have a 3,650mAh battery, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max is anticipated to feature a 4,852mAh battery. These capacities represent upgrades from the iPhone 14 Pro’s 3,200 mAh and the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s 4,323 mAh batteries, respectively. Additionally, it is rumoured that the iPhone 15 Pro models will offer storage options of up to 1TB.
The standard versions of the iPhone 15 series are rumoured to sport 48-megapixel rear cameras, similar to the Pro models of the iPhone 14 series. This enhancement would signify a significant improvement over the 12-megapixel sensors found in previous iPhone models. However, it is worth noting that the standard models may not include a telephoto lens for optical zoom or a LiDAR scanner, as these features are expected to be exclusive to the higher-end models. On the other hand, the Pro Max model is anticipated to feature a more prominent camera module, housing periscope lenses that enable optical zoom of up to 5–6xs, along with additional sensors. This camera upgrade is expected to be one of the most significant changes to the iPhone to date.
Another notable change is the potential switch from Apple’s Lightning port to a USB Type-C port in the iPhone 15 series. This change would align the iPhones with other devices using USB-C, making it more convenient for users to charge their phones with a single USB-C charger.
