iPhone 15 and Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max: final update on rumors

1 – The screen

As in 2022 with thefour iPhone 14, Apple should offer afourof iPhone 15. A large iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Plus as well as the iPhone 15 Pro and the “classic” iPhone 15, with a little over 6 inches at the withers.

But you should know thatthe screens of future iPhones of 2023 should be a bit widerthan those of the iPhone 14. We are only talking here about a few tenths of an inch at most, so the change will not necessarily be visible at first glance. On the other hand, it is indeed on the brightness side that users of the iPhone 15 Pro Max could be surprised: the mobile has a chance of reaching thetwo thousand five hundred nitsmaximum power. Enough to allow use in direct sunlight, without problem.

As a bonus, other rumors have announced that the iPhone 15 could betwice as durable, thanks to stronger glass designed by Corning (the Victus 2). The manufacturer's Gorilla Glass windows have already been fitted to the front of Apple mobiles for many years, to combat scratches and impacts. The touch screen, for its part, is entrusted in particular to subcontractors Samsung, BOE Electronics (to a lesser extent) and LG Display. Brands whose reputation is well established, and which have in any case already been seen on board previous models.

2 –Dynamic Islandfor everyone

Not to stray too far from the subject, we also learned that Apple would ultimately offer itsDynamic Islandto all owners of high-end iPhones released at the end of 2023. Of course here too we must consider this information with a certain caution, because the Cupertino giant has not confirmed anything officially. But multiple patents and leaks tend to validate the file, which therefore seems more and more likely. Eventually, we could even be entitled to a collection of smartphones with camera and Face ID under the screen, but not before 2027.

3 – Improved performance on iPhone 15 Pro

Now let's move on to performance. In all likelihood, the iPhone 15 Plus and the “classic” iPhone 15s will be equipped with the same chip as the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max, i.e. the A16 Bionic chip, already very effective today and which will probably not be not go out of fashion by then. With, probably, the same amount of RAM under the hood.

Apple A17 – t8130 – Coll

6 CPU Cores + 6 GPU Cores
3.70 GHz
6GB LPDDR5 DRAM – Micron/Samsung
TSMC 3nm Process

LPDDR = Low Power Double Data Rate SDRAM

The A17 is used by both the D83 and D84, also likely planned for D47 and D48 (16 series), as the D9x will use t8140 (A18).

But for the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max (or iPhone 15 Ultra, as you wish), Apple would have planned a more efficient motherboard, which we probably imagine calledA17 Bionic chip. Expect +20 or +30% for benchmark results, but not more.

With this, analysts are betting on the arrival ofWi-Fi 6Eto provide a better connection at home, such as the latest MacBook Pros and iPads. As for 5G, the clues still point to a modem designed by Qualcomm, as before.

Edit of September 11, 2023: the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max could integrate8 GB of RAM.

4 – The thorny question of USB-C

Recently, the European Union decided that all smartphone brands that sell their devices on the Old Continent must offer the same socket for charging. It turns out that the chosen format is USB-C. A technology already favored by Apple for its Macs or its iPad Pros, and which could therefore ultimately replace Lightning on iPhone.

But here it is: it turns out that in reality, our leaders have imposed adeadlineto get up to date. And this corresponds to the end of 2024, which, in theory, will allow Apple to wait for possible iPhone 17s to comply with regulators' rules. Despite everything, numerous stolen photos suggest that USB-C will arrive on iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro, but nothing is certain for the moment. In any case, it seems that if this is true, you will need to have an MFi certified cable to benefit from the fastest energy transfers, the same for files. A practice perhaps blocked by the European Union there too.

5 – No faster charging?

Besides, speaking of charging, we haven't really heard of any major improvements for the next iPhones, until now. Except perhaps regarding the arrival of the Qi 2 standard for wireless. However, it is assumed that thereverse chargingwill be there, but only for the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. With this, all models could be equipped with battery life to last longer than the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro.

1/3
Stacked battery is on track, but limited

Most likely only for 24U & 24+
or just 24U

meanwhile,
apple used it on entire iP15 lineup

24U & 24+ have "rated" 5000 MaH

But 24U stacked structure is different
to make it cooler, they applied cooling gel. for 65W & stabilityhttps://t.co/8khM2oAToc

The USB-C port will also be used for data transfer, with Thunderbolt 4 technology up to 40 Gbit per second.

6 – A new design!

As for the design, the iPhone 15 Pro could be a little thicker than expected, although the prominent rear photo module would lose some weight despite achange of arrangement. The width and length of the case, however, would not really change, but since the screen will surely be larger, theborderssurrounding it will be reduced.

We would especially note a major makeover at the level ofboutons, which would move to all-touch (like Touch ID on the third generation iPhone SE), without the traditional physical volume controls. Compatibility with gloves would be provided. Still for the edges, these would also be more rounded, which would completely clash with the sharp edges of the iPhone 14. Finally, recent bets are betting on a brand new dark red color, as well as a green, and the The back of the iPhone 15 would be made of frosted glass.

An additional button would also be included, as onApple Watch Ultrawith the one calledAction.

Let's end the design chapter with a change that is announced as less visible, but very important: weight. The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max would be the iPhones with the “Pro” namethe lightest in Apple history. Mark Gurman predicts a weight of 185g for the 15 Pro model (21g less than the 14 Pro) and 216g for the 15 Pro Max (34g less than the 14 Pro Max).

7 – Improved camera on iPhone 15 Pro

Beyond the external appearance, everything led us to believe that the future standard bearers will be equipped with a “lens”.periscope“, whose format would take up less space than today while allowing a better zoom, perhaps up to x5 optically. But ultimately, we would have to wait for the iPhone 16 Pro. LiDAR would also be revisited, now manufactured by Sony, for augmented reality and more successful night shots, also thanks to an aperture capturing more light.

In terms of definition, it would be forty-eight megapixels on the clock for each model.

8 – Storage and finishing

The iPhone 15 could be available in 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB and the iPhone 15 Pro in 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB.

  • iPhone 15 and 15 Plus: 5 or6 finishes, blue, yellow, orange or green, black, pink and/or white
  • iPhone 15 Pro et Pro Max :vert, gray, blue, silver

9 – Release date and price

  • keynote: Tuesday September 12
  • pre-order: from Friday September 15
  • availability: Friday September 22
