Everything about the iPhone 15 rumours!

Rumors suggest the iPhone 15 models will look similar to the iPhone 14 models, but the pill-and-hole cutout will expand to the entire lineup.

Introduction

iPhone 14 pre-orders have been as strong as ever since Apple announced the new model, and the expected ship date is now well into October for those who haven’t already placed their purchases. If Apple’s newest and greatest doesn’t pique your interest, though, you might want to wait for the instead. 

Upgrades to the apple 14 Pro models were made available by Apple this year. Apple’s new Dynamic Island notch and A16 Bionic chip were reserved for the Pro models, and the display significantly improved. Crash Detection and Emergency SOS through satellite connectivity are two examples of the increased emphasis on security seen in all apple 14 models this year.

For the, very little information is available at this time. However, more far-reaching changes, including a USB-C charging connector and a new periscope camera for increased zoomed capabilities, have been reported for some time, and we can already start to piece together what the will include when it comes and how much it will cost in 2023.

When Apple may introduce the iPhone 15

This is the most solidified of the early iPhone 15 rumours. Apple has only ever released a new flagship smartphone outside of September once in the past decade, and that was in October 2020, when an already pandemic forced people to stay home and disrupted tech supply chains.

Therefore, the apple 15 in September 2023 is virtually guaranteed. A typical Apple phone release is preceded by a ten-day announcement and a week of pre-orders.

Expectations about the iPhone 15 price

Many predicted a 15% price hike for the apple 14; however, this prediction was off base, at least for American customers. The price went up significantly in several countries, while in the United States, the only change was removing the entry-level “mini” model.

That puts the lowest-priced iPhone 14 at $799 for a 128GB model and the highest-priced iPhone 14 Pro Max at $1,599. We anticipate a similar outcome this time, while it is likely that the United States will finally get the price increase for the apple 15 that the rest of the world received in 2022. Assume an additional $100 if this is the case.

Possible iPhone 15 variants

This year, the is mini was discontinued in favour of the larger iPhone 14 Plus. In that case, the decision was reduced to either a 6.1- or 6.7-inch display, depending on whether or not you were interested in the Pro features.

There’s a high probability that this will carry on into the following year. Already after a few months, it was clear that the iPhone 12 mini was not selling well. Still, Apple could not cancel the iPhone 13 mini production due to predetermined production schedules.

This suggests that even if the apple14 Plus is a flop, next year’s lineup—the apple15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max—will be nearly identical to this year’s.

However, the iPhone 15 Ultra is a possibility that could expand this list. Mark Gurman, a trusted industry insider, recently tweeted that a future variation could be “expected” following the release of the Apple Watch Ultra this year. Can we expect an Ultra version of the iPhone in 15 years? So, we shall see.

iPhone 15 design rumours

The only credible speculation about the upcoming iPhone 15’s design is that Apple will stop using the Lightning port. Given that the corporation already uses the USB-C connection in its laptops and tablets and that the EU has mandated that all phones utilise the connection by 2024, this isn’t too shocking. Apple could continue using the Lightning port in other regions, but doing so would be an additional cost. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that at least some of Apple’s devices will use USB-C, despite persistent speculations to the contrary regarding a portless it. We predict that if a portless model does debut next year, it will be a premium add-on.

According to LeaksApplePro, a credible tipster, all apple 15 models will feature USB-C ports and the Dynamic Island, lending credence to the USB-C speculation. The latter is helpful information, as we would be disappointed if the it was the only model to feature a USB-C port.

Mark Gurman, an Apple analyst, has stated that Apple has no plans to reintroduce Touch ID on its premium in the near future, despite widespread speculation to the contrary. While in-display Touch ID has apparently been tested and power button integration has been considered, it appears that Face ID will be the only option beginning in 2020.

Unfortunately, this function has been absent from Apple’s high-end smartphones since the apple 8. Touch ID might have been useful during the pandemic months when everyone wore a mask and Face ID had trouble recognising faces.

iPhone 15 camera

Initial speculations about the iPhone 15 point to a likely update to a new camera. It has been speculated that the, following in the footsteps of the is, will include a periscope camera to improve long-range shooting and zoom capabilities. Many of the Android phones on our top camera phones list have supported this feature for some time now, and it would be fantastic if Apple followed suit. Yet, as usual, we find it hard to believe that something arriving in 2023 won’t be Pro-exclusive at first.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple may differentiate its ‘Pro’ models from the rest of the lineup by including certain exclusive capabilities and that the company may be hoping to increase sales of its larger 6.7-inch handsets by doing so. We don’t know what these are yet, but Apple could be trying to upsell iPhone 15 Pro Max buyers with the possibility of a periscoping camera.

iPhone 15 expected specs

It’s still early, but there have been two rumours. Although both are possible, one seems more likely than the other.

Starting with the ‘likely’, adoption of the A17 chipset would once have felt like a given, but this year only the iPhone 14 Pro benefited from an all-new CPU, while the ordinary model used a somewhat souped-up version of the A15. Assuming this is the new norm, the apple 15 Pro might feature the A17, while the standard iPhone 15 could get a modified version of the A16.

Obviously, that doesn’t tell us much about performance, but the A17 is likely to be the first chip to be manufactured with the 3nm manufacturing process, which might promise huge things for both speed and efficiency.

iPhone 15 Ultra

In recent weeks, rumours have circulated that Apple may introduce an iPhone 15 Ultra instead of the iPhone XS Max Pro. Although reports of an iPhone 15 Ultra had previously surfaced, this model was considered the fifth. But it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Rather than the screen size being the primary differentiator between the is and the iPhone 15 Pro, we’ve heard rumblings that Apple intends to emphasise other features to set them apart. But there has been no news on what those potential alterations are.

It was speculated at first that Apple would only include USB-C support in the most expensive variant. More recent speculations, however, say that this update will come to all iPhone 15s, ahead of EU regulations that would compel USB-C charging on electronics.

Indeed, there have been persistent reports that an without a port has been in the works for quite some time. The iPhone 15 Ultra might forego USB-C in favour of a connector-free, port-free design. If Apple adopts the same titanium-alloy construction as the next Apple Watch Ultra, this might also increase durability.

A periscope camera, which has been talked about for a while, is another rumoured improvement. Optic zoom capabilities beyond the present 3x limit would be a huge boon for Apple, given that they are standard on other flagships.

iPhone 15 outlook

While it may be too soon to place any money on iPhone 15 speculations, nobody ever went bankrupt from putting their money on Apple. While the predicted benefits of the 3nm A17 CPU may further extend Apple’s already dominating lead over the top Android phones in raw speed, the expected debut of USB-C may entice those still falling in love with iOS. Since we are still about a year away from the iPhone 15 release date, there is plenty of time for more intriguing conjecture. However, we are concerned about the possibility of a price hike and would like to hear more solid reports concerning changes to the cameras.
