Universal USB-C Port
In a move applauded by many, Apple is set to introduce the universal USB-C port for the iPhone, replacing the traditional Lightning port. This change aligns with the trend of most devices, including Apple’s own MacBooks and iPad Pros, adopting USB-C. Interestingly, the iPhone 15 Pro models might support faster USB 3.2 speeds and offer Thunderbolt support.
Titanium Frames: Lighter and Stronger
The Pro versions of the iPhone 15 will feature a new titanium alloy chassis, a departure from the stainless steel used in previous models. Titanium offers the advantage of being both stronger and lighter than stainless steel. Additionally, these models might sport a brushed metal finish and could be available in new color variants like dark blue, silver-grey, space black, and natural titanium.
Enhanced Display
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will continue to have 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays, respectively. However, improvements are expected in the form of brighter screens, more efficient LTPO controllers, and notably thinner bezels, possibly making them the phones with the thinnest bezels in the market.
Powerful A17 Chip and Increased RAM
The Pro models will be powered by the revolutionary A17 chipset, built on a 3nm process. This promises a 10-15% increase in processing performance and up to 30% better efficiency. The new chip could be 8GB of RAM, a step up from the previous 6GB in the iPhone 14 Pro.
Camera Upgrades
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are set to retain the 48MP IMX803 main camera but will introduce a new 13.4MP ultrawide camera with a superior 7p lens. The Pro Max will stand out with its exclusive periscope zoom, offering 5x or 6x optical zoom capabilities.
Pricing and Storage
The iPhone 15 Pro model’s price might increase, around $100. However, the base storage option could be increased from 128GB to 256 GB in a move that will please many.
Launch Dates
While the iPhone 15 series will be announced on September 12 and is expected to be available for pre-order by September 15, the iPhone 15 Pro Max might face delays and launch in October due to supply chain issues.
