What do we know about the iPhone 15?

Phone 15 and iPhone 15 pro

Fantastic design, incredible performance and innovative functions - all this is offered by the Smartphone-Linie von Apple. Every year, the manufacturer from Cupertino surprises us with new models that become a symbol of excellence in the world of technology. Now comes the next evolutionary step - the iPhone 15. What will this exciting generation of smartphones look like?

iPhone and the Apple phenomenon

There is no denying that smartphones from Apple have become very popular worldwide. Although the market is dominated by Android-based devices, iPhones have been the trendsetters in the mobile industry for years. The first iPhone revolutionized the market and ushered in a new era of cell phones. Apple has inspired other manufacturers and continues to raise the bar by combining outstanding design with unparalleled functionality.

What do we know about the iPhone 15?

The expectation of Apple fans is very high, and all the leaks and information about the new iPhone arouse great interest. From the available data, we can conclude that the iPhone 15 will be launched in several variants:

iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max (Ultra). Each of these versions will be available with the latest operating system from Apple - iOS 17. Although no revolutionary changes to the system are expected, we anticipate some interesting innovations.

The latest generation of chips:

The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will receive the A16 Bionic chip, which is already known from the current Pro version. The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will be equipped with the latest A17 Bionic chip. The latter models will receive a state-of-the-art SoC (System on a Chip) chip for improved performance and energy efficiency. Leaks suggest that Apple could use a new generation of the A-Series processor that will contribute to faster app performance, smoother navigation and better handling of games and compute-intensive tasks.

There are rumors that the new iPhone 15 series (especially the Pro versions) will have a USB-C port instead of the traditional Lightning connector. This is likely the result of the European Union's introduction of the Common Charging Standard Act for all electronic devices. However, it's worth noting that the new USB-C port requires MFi-certified accessories, which means that not all cables and chargers will be compatible with the new iPhones. Only certified accessories will be able to utilize the full potential of the USB-C port.

Apple has always placed great emphasis on the photo quality of its devices, so it is expected that the iPhone 15 will receive a significant upgrade in the camera area. Leaks suggest that there could be improvements to both the wide-angle and telephoto modules. In addition, new software features are expected to be introduced to further enhance the iPhone 15's camera potential.

What will the iPhone 15 look like?

Can we expect revolutionary changes to the design of the iPhone 15? Not necessarily. From the leaks, it appears that the biggest design changes were made to last year's flagship models. The dynamic island that has become commonplace in the Pro series will likely become standard on the entry-level iPhone 15 as well. It appears that the base models will have similar bezels to the iPhone 14, while the Pro versions may get slightly narrower bezels. According to leaks, the iPhone 15 will continue the minimalist aesthetic of its predecessor, with some subtly different details. It is expected that Apple will use even more rounded corners and reduce the notch at the top edge to create a larger screen area.

Information about the iPhone 15's screen design has also emerged through leaks. It is assumed that the iPhone 15 will receive a significant display upgrade. Initial data suggests that Apple could equip the iPhone 15 with ProMotion technology, which means that the screen will support a refresh rate of 120 Hz or even more. This would allow for a smoother and more responsive experience when browsing content and using apps.

As for the back, the size of the dynamic island is unlikely to change. The camera matrix of the iPhone 15 will not differ significantly from that of the iPhone 14. Only the iPhone 15 Pro Max / Ultra version will possibly receive significant improvements, including up to 5-6x optical zoom.

Buttons

Analysis of the available graphics shows that the basic version of the iPhone will continue to use physical buttons. There are rumors that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will receive harmonized volume buttons, i.e. one long button instead of two separate buttons.

The latest leaks also suggest that the mute mode buttons could be removed from the new iPhones. Instead, there will be a single, sliding element that will act as a multifunction button.

New colors

According to the latest information, the iPhone 15 will come in a brand new color. The two cheaper models of the 15 series will be available in a color reminiscent of turquoise, similar to the green iPhone 12.

Battery

Information has also emerged about the battery of the new iPhones. Apple is planning to significantly increase the battery capacity of the iPhone 15 models. According to reports from the main manufacturer Foxconn, the battery capacities of the new smartphones will be as follows:

• iPhone 15: 3877 mAh (18% more than the previous generation),
• iPhone 15 Plus: 4912 mAh (13.6% more than the previous generation),
• iPhone 15 Pro: 3650 mAh (14.1 % more than the previous generation),
• iPhone 15 Pro Max (Ultra): 4852 mAh (10.9% more than the previous generation).

iPhone 15: Presentation and price

Traditionally, the iPhone 15 series is likely to be unveiled at the beginning of September 2023. According to rumors, the prices of the entry-level models of the 15 series will be lower than those of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, but the exact amounts are not yet known. The top models, on the other hand, are expected to be significantly more expensive than the iPhone 14.

The announcement of the next iPhone generation is causing great excitement and anticipation among Apple fans. We are looking forward to the official confirmation of this information and the unveiling of the iPhone 15, which is likely to excite us with its design, functionality and innovative solutions.
