The blog is indeed made for those who are desperately waiting for the upcoming iPhone 15 series. That is coming with the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Ultra.

Initial rumors and leaks

After marketing dummy models of the iPhone 15 lineup, most iPhone enthusiasts conclude that it is not going to be much different than the iPhone 14 series. However, a major reported change is going to occur in the iPhone 15 Pro Max name. Unlike the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the iPhone 15 series owns the name iPhone 15 Ultra Pro against its previous models. 

Another considerable change in the iPhone 15 series is its slightly curved edges which make it far more handy as well as eye-catching. Unlike the iPhone 14 lineup, this alteration has made it more comfortable for a firm grip as sharp edges are somehow hard to grip.

Another interesting and vibrant feature is the addition of one more fascinating color ‘magenta’ which will make it more captivating.

Design and display rumor:

Coming to their design and size, according to Leakes there will be no considerable change is going to happen in the iPhone 15 lineup except for a few.

  • Like the iPhone 14 Pro series, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 plus are going to tip up the dynamic island feature owning thin black lines.
  • The size of the iPhone 15 series will be 6.1 for two and 6.7 for the other two. The two 6.1-inch screens will iPhone 15 and iPhone Pro (one is costlier than the other). Similarly iPhone 15 plus and 15 Utra pro will own 6.7 inches large screen.
  • If we keenly analyze the more advanced model of the iPhone 15 lineup, you will be stunned to see the volume up-down button. As they are not apart from each other, featuring itself a single button. Moreover, the mute button is also pressable and not a sliding one as we have seen in iPhone previous models.
  • The rumor of owning a button-free feature has been pushed back. The theory was previously spread that Apple is going to make the iPhone 15 series free of volume up and down buttons, as it has previously done. Yet, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has recently written in late July that this feature has been pushed back.

Will Apple iPhone 15 own USB-C?

Until September 2022, there was no confirmation regarding the introduction of a C-type charging port. However, the latest dummies conclude that the iPhone 15 series is going to have USB-C which will boost its demand publicly especially among iPhone haters. USB-C offers several potential benefits, including faster data transfer speeds, compatibility with a wide range of devices and accessories, and alignment with industry trends.

Benefits of using USB-C type port in Apple iPhone 15

Here, are some major benefits the iPhone will feature after owning a USB-C port;

Standardization

USB-C is a universal standard for connectors and cables, that depicts you can use a single USB-C port for different purposes like charging, data transfer, and connecting accessories. So, you do not have to carry multiple cables to charge different gadgets. ultimately it simplifies the user experience.

Faster Data Transfer

USB-C supports faster data transfer speeds than previous iPhones’ Lightning port. This could be beneficial for transferring large files quickly or for syncing data.

Compatibility

Many other devices, like laptops, tablets, and other Android devices have already switched to C-type ports. Therefore Switching from lightning cables to USB-C on iPhones could make it easier for users giving no reason to carry multiple cables along with them.

European Union Regulation

The European Union has been pushing for a common charging standard for electronic devices. This could potentially influence Apple’s decision to adopt USB-C.

Environmental Considerations

Using a more universal standard like USB-C could reduce electronic waste by eliminating the need for proprietary cables and adapters.

The technology industry has been moving towards USB-C as a standard port for various devices, which could encourage Apple to follow suit.

Keep in mind, that Apple’s decisions are influenced by various factors like technological considerations, customer experience, market trends, and business strategies. Until now the info. is based on leaks and intuitions. Therefore, any decision by Apple to include a USB-C port in the iPhone 15 series would need to be confirmed by Apple itself.

According to the most up-to-date information, I recommend checking Apple’s official announcements or news sources.

Cameras advancement

There is no need to introduce the iPhone 15 series if there is no advancement in its cameras. The prime goal of managing this costly product is its extraordinarily stunning picture quality. Expectedly, iPhone 15 pro models will own periscope lenses which may increase the size of the ever-criticized camera bump. However, this increase is for a good reason as periscope lenses give advanced zoom-in capability. This will probably compete with the cameras of Samsung flagship models like Samsung Ultra 23.

Ming-Chi Kuo says that iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will adopt a 48-megapixel camera which we have already seen in iPhone 14 and 14 Pro Max. Also, rumors say that now the iPhone 15 series owns a special stacked sensor design to give a quality picture in a low light area. However, whether this feature is coming in iPhone 15 pro series or in all iPhone 15 series is still unknown.

iPhone 15 storage

Apple is about to introduce 6GB RAM in iPhone 15 and 15 plus models. It is the same feature we have seen last year in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models.

iPhone 15 battery

iPhone is going to recall battery-consuming issues in the latest upcoming models iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 plus. According to major leaks in July, the battery capacity will considerably increase from their predecessors. So, we are expecting 3279 mAh and 4325 mAh to 3877 mAh and 4912 mAh for iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models. This innovation will significantly reduce battery-consuming problems.

iPhone 15 price

Rumors are about an increase in the price of the iPhone 15 ultra-Pro due to the addition of the periscope lens and USB-C port. However, the Apple company will announce the ultimate cost in this regard. The new Apple iPhone 15 is expected to be released in mid-September. However, people can order for shipment on the first of week September. Maybe the iPhone 15 series can be delayed till October because of the introduction of some extra features. Nevertheless, there seems no barrier to the release of the iPhone 15 series in 2023.
