Every year, the iPhones are a major event in the mobile phone calendar. Whether you’re an Apple user or not, no matter how much you love or hate iOS. The iPhones are the foundation for what other manufacturers will offer in the coming months or years. Apple’s smartphones don’t always have the best features in every category. They are not always the first to adopt technology. They are always ahead. The American firm is a competitor brand.

This is illustrated by two examples. Apple revealed theiPhone XMany smartphones have a notch in their screen. After the release, dual camera sensors were more common.iPhone 7 Plus. Apple presented theiPhone 12Many manufacturers were inspired by it to create phones with more angular ergonomics (Oppo Reno 6 and Vivo V23, for example). Even though the changes are less obvious, the iPhone 13/14 are no exception: satellite communication, movie mode, etc.
We are still several months from their launch, but the iPhone 15 These models are already getting special attention. Numerous models. Ergonomic adjustments. Biometric functions. We discuss biometric functions in this issue. All the changes expected in future smartphones from Cupertino. We will keep it updated. You are encouraged to regularly consult it.

📱 What number of variations will there be for the iPhone 15?
The number of declinations for the iPhone 15 is unknown. The 2023 line-up should be four items. A standard model. A Pro model. Even though the model is considered a Plus model, it could still be retained, according to some studies. Rumours of an ultra-premium model are also being circulated.
It is not yet known what the exact name of this model will be. According to some rumors, it could be called the “iPhone 15 Ultra”. This suffix is being used more often by the brand. We have the M1 Ultra processor. We have the Apple Watch Ultra. We would also like an iPhone 15 Ultra. The iPhone 15 Ultra will be a complement to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Ming Chi Kuo, a well-known Taiwanese analyst in financial markets, thinks not. It was initially believed that it would replace iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, Mark Gurman, a journalist from Taiwan, announced that Apple would prefer to wait until 2024 to get the model “Ultra”.
Could the iPhone Mini return? It is possible. It could replace the iPhone SE and have a delayed launch at beginning of the year. It would also be renewed every two-years. This was also the case for the previous two models. The next model will arrive in 2024.
📅 What is the iPhone 15’s release date?
According to analyst Jeff Pu, the iPhone 15 could be released in September 2023. Apple has made it a habit of launching its new smartphones at the start of each school year. This should continue for the next models. Apple moved the iPhone’s launch from October to October in 2020 during a health crisis.
However, keynotes are usually held on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. In 2023, other dates that could be used would be Tuesdays, September 5, 12, or September 6, and 13. Pre-orders are usually open the Friday after the keynote (or September 8 or 15 depending on our hypotheses). They last one week. The keynote speech is followed by a week and half of commercialization. We arrive on September 15, 22 or 2022.
It is possible for one smartphone to not be available at the exact same time as another. Apple has shown many times that it is not afraid of delaying a commercial launch. If the component crisis continues into 2023, it wouldn’t be impossible for one to two versions of iPhone 14 to be delayed for a few more weeks.
💶 What price will the iPhone 15 be?
The iPhone 15’s price will logically rise. It’s mechanical. Energy prices. Logistics costs. Prices of components. Inflation. All indicators point towards an increase in prices, despite relative stability across Atlantic. Given the tax rates, the euro zone should see a greater price rise. However, this will not affect all models.
According to Taiwanese media, the rise in the price for some iPhone 15s would be partly due the rising manufacturing costs of components, including SoC. TSMC has been producing the iPhone SoC for many years. Rumours suggest that Apple will opt for a 3 nm engraving Some iPhone 15s include SoCs. This leak claims that TSMC charges 25% higher for components made from 3nm than 5nm (A14-15, A15, and A16).
The ultra premium segment would include the hypothetical iPhone 15 Ultra, which could be the successor to the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It would be priced at an increase of between 9 and 18%. All across the Atlantic It would sell between $1199 to $1299The launch price for the iPhone 13 Pro Max or 14 Pro Max is $999. The iPhone 15s’ dollar price will rise, so it is obvious that the iPhone 15s’ euro price will also go up. There are many more.
The iPhone 14’s price range is from 1019 euros The iPhone 14 has 128 GB storage 2129 euros iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1TB storage. The iPhone 14 is Apple’s first standard model to sell for more than 1000 euros in the basic version. The iPhone 14 Pro Max was the first to sell a version for over 2000 euros.
Be aware, however, that The commercial failure of the iPhone 14 Plus has caused some cards to be shuffled. Apple seems determined not repeat the mistakes made in the past. The whispers are that the iPhone 15 Ultra could reach a new price point, but the “non Pro”, iPhone 15, could be sold at a lower price than the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Plus.
💎 What is the design and function of the iPhone 15s’?
Apple is not likely to make major changes to the iPhone’s design by 2023. All smartphones will have a metal chassis and a mostly-mineral glass design. The nature of these elements will vary depending on the model. The aluminum from their predecessors will be used in the Plus and standard models. The Pro model would benefit greatly from stainless steel. The chassis of the hypothetical Ultra model would be made from titanium.
Apple would have also reworked its smartphone’s back. Some edges are not straight anymore, but more rounded. The visual opposite shows a curve between the phone’s top edge (above the photo module), and the metal edge. This would indicate that mineral glass is also curved.
Apple is rumored to be removing the mechanical buttons from the iPhone 15 Pro Max/ Ultra in a visual and ergonomic change. This includes volume and power buttons. They would be replaced by touch-sensitive buttons with two additional motors hidden behind the side slices. This is the same method Apple used to replace Touch ID’s mechanical version with a touch version. The physical buttons on the other iPhone 15 would remain unchanged.
These changes were confirmed by CAD files that were sent to various shell makers. There is a USB-C port on the bottom of this device. However, there are other subtle changes.
The photo module protrudes more, which would indicate a change to the photo. However, the edges are slightly rounded and the screen remains flat.
We should have slightly larger screens at the front than the 14-generation. 6.12 inches Standard iPhone and Pro models (previously 6.06 inches) and Pro and 6.7 inches The iPhone Plus and Ultra (or Pro Max) will have these features. The iPhone 15 will see the switch from the notch on the cheaper models to the double punch. The iPhone 15 Plus, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max will have the same pill this year as the iPhone 15 Plus.
Face ID under the screen is not in the plans. Rumours suggest that the slab will not be able to hold selfie sensors until 2024. The CADs show that Apple would keep the screens the same size as the previous generations but would refine the borders around them.
🔌 Will the iPhone 15s have USB-C or Lightning compatibility?
After many years of waiting, finally the European Union announced the date at which all rechargeable electronic devices, including smartphones will need to have a USB port for charging and data transfer. This date is December 28, 2024. Manufacturers can choose to have a proprietary port or a USB port before this date.
It was obvious that Apple would want the USB port to be adopted as soon as possible. The Lightning port is a big moneymaker for the company. All accessory manufacturers must have a license to use this proprietary technology in order to sell compatible iPhone products. Apple would have to comply for one more year.
Apple may be leading the charge, however, much to everyone’s surprise. Ming Chi Kuo, a financial analyst, indicates in one his financial notes that the iPhone 15 may all include a USB C port. Bloomberg also confirms this statement. A few weeks ago, the financial news agency stated thatApple would not integrate a USB port into its iPhones before 2023.
It is important to note that if the port on the different iPhone models is identical, the USB standard used for each model would be different. This allows the models to be segmented and the price differences to be justified. The Pro models would have a USB 3.0 compatible port, while the standard and plus models would have a USB 2.0 compatible Port. The bandwidth of both the former and the latter is much greater than the former. Potentially, the charging power could be even higher.
Photo of an iPhone prototype containing the new universal connector confirms that there is a USB-C port. Our full feature on the USB-C port for iPhones explains everything.
What are the changes in iPhone 15’s spec sheet?
Some changes are expected in spec sheet, beyond the design. Processor. Battery. Modem. Display technology: Apple will make every effort to improve the experience for all smartphones. However, there will still be some differences between the Pro / Ultra and other models.
The first element expected: A new processor. It would be called A17 It would replace the A16 Bionic. An A16 is found in the iPhone 14 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max. The iPhones with lower prices are happy with the A15 Bionic chip. According to Weibo, Apple will continue the same strategy in 2023. The A17 Bionic processor will only be used in the most costly models, the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Ultra, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The A16 Bionic should be used in all other models.
Inscriptions of the A17 would be made 3 nm It should not be 5 nm. This would make the chip not only more powerful but also more efficient. The Taiwanese Foundry TSMC should manufacture this chip. Apple has used the know-how of TSMC for many years to make its smartphones’ core. The A16 Bionic in both the Plus and standard models, and the A17 Bionic Pro Max / Ultra models would provide a significant increase in autonomy between 3-4 hours in standard use. However, the leaks don’t indicate whether this involves a strengthening or depletion of the batteries. Sources informed say that efficiency gains could be up to 35%.
Qualcomm would still sign the 5G modem that was used in the iPhone 15 This is not surprising, as the Cupertino-based firm has signed a multiyear agreement with the California-based foundry for modems to be supplied to the Apple. This agreement was made following the 2017 legal battle between the two companies. Bloomberg reports that the iPhone 15 will not include an Apple modem, due to the firm’s inability to reach a satisfactory outcome. Remember thatApple bought the Intel mobile modem business. Finally, the iPhone 15 should become the first Wi-Fi 6E compatible smartphone by Apple.
Ross Young, an analyst specializing on the screen market, stated that Apple would integrate Dynamic Island into all iPhone 15 models, not just the most expensive. The goal would have been to visually reharmonize all models. Some features would be exclusive to Pro Max/Ultra models. For example, the 120 Hz refresh speed would not apply to Plus or standard models. The Pro and Pro Max/Ultra models would also have a LTPO The other two are able to go down to 1 Hz.
Concerning the Premium models, the iPhone 15 Pro Max and 15 Pro Max will also have 33% more RAM (from 6, to 8, GB). LPDDR5X is a memory that allows for machine learning applications. This would make the RAM faster.
📸 What are the changes in photos for the iPhone 15?
Apple has always been a leader in photo. Even though Apple has lost some its greatness over the years, letting it pass in front Chinese brands like Huawei, it is still at the top. This heritage will benefit the iPhone 15 with some expected improvements, especially for those models that are more expensive.
One of the long-awaited improvements is the addition of a periscope Telephoto Lens in premium iPhones. The benefit of such a component would be to dramatically increase the optical zoom ratio. It could go from 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x depending upon the model. This would give the iPhone with the highest end features the ability to enhance the quality of remote shots by getting closer to the details. Apple would have chosen a model that had 8 lenses, offering a variety of effects. 10x optical zoom.
The downside to such a system is its size: only the largest phones can integrate a substantial battery and an efficient heat dissipation mechanism, as well as a periscope zoom. This periscope zoom is likely to be limited to the iPhone 15 Ultra/Pro Max.
Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-respected analyst, suggests that Apple could opt to use a stronger LiDAR sensor in the iPhone 15 Pro. The manufacturer would again trust Sony and its VCSEL sensor. A less energy-consuming lens This would improve the smartphone’s autonomy. Additionally, this sensor will offer better performance for ToF.
