iPhone 15 Release Details
Apple is expected to unveil not just one, but four new models: the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Here’s a glimpse of what we anticipate:
1. Charging Port Upgrade: In compliance with new EU standards aimed at reducing electronic waste, Apple will replace its lightning port with a standard USB-C.
2. Bezel Changes: The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are expected to feature a “dynamic island” bezel, replacing the notch seen in previous models.
3. Design Enhancements: Pro models may sport titanium frames, slimmer bezels, and subtly curved edges, while the Ultra version may feature periscope lens technology for improved camera zoom.
4. Modem Chips: Apple may opt for Qualcomm modem chips for these devices, as its in-house modem chips are still in development.
5. Color Options: Rumors suggest new colors, including dark pink and light blue, alongside the standard black, white, and PRODUCT(RED) options.
6. Face ID Continues: Contrary to some speculations, iPhone 15 is likely to retain Face ID rather than revert to touch ID.
7. Pricing: While exact pricing remains unknown, early reports hint at a launch price similar to the iPhone 14.
What Else to Expect
In addition to the iPhone lineup, Apple might announce:
1. Apple Watch Series 9: While not expected to feature major changes, the new watches will come with watchOS 10, offering new apps and face options.
2. Apple Watch Ultra (2nd Generation): A larger, custom-built display is planned for a significant hardware update in 2024.
3. Vision Pro: Apple’s mixed-reality headset, initially announced in June, may receive further updates or details during the event.
4. New AirPods: The possibility of a new set of AirPods with a USB-C charging port, aligned with the new iPhones, is circulating in the rumor mill.
