Quite a lot of time has passed since the presentation of the iPhone 14, and therefore the time has come for information about future models to appear. Apple smartphones. Given the fact that this year’s update in terms of base models was quite frail, many users have postponed the purchase of new devices until next year. And in fact, Apple decided to take the iPhone 15 line in earnest, as the current new products are not being sold in the way that the Cupertino company expected.
That is why the iPhone 15 is expected to have a new case design, a cool periscope camera and a long battery life, which can be achieved through a new processor. In this material, we have collected for you everything that is known about the iPhone 15 right now.
iPhone 15 processor
The main thing that interests many buyers who are waiting for a new product: what will be processor in iPhone 15. The flagship models of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max or Ultra, depending on which name Apple stops at, will receive a new chipset A17 Bionic. It will be manufactured using the 3nm process technology. Let me remind you that the A16, which is installed in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, is manufactured using a 4nm process technology. To find out why manufacturers reduce the process technology, I recommend that you read our material. This allows more transistors to be placed on the chip, resulting in increased performance and battery life.
But it is already clear that in the A17 Apple will bet not on performance growth, but on increasing battery life. According to 9to5Mac, this is exactly what Apple paid attention to when negotiating with TSMC about the production new processors for iPhone 15. And if even now the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the longest-lived smartphone, it’s scary to even imagine how long future devices will have. With iPhone 15 specs you can see in the table:
| Characteristic | iPhone 15 | iPhone 15 Plus | iPhone 15 Pro | iPhone 15 Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | A16 Bionic | A16 Bionic | A17 Bionic | A17 Bionic |
| RAM | 6 GB | 6 GB | 6 GB | 6 GB |
| Screen | 6.1 OLED, Dynamic Island, 60Hz | 6.7 OLED, Dynamic Island, 60Hz | 6.1 OLED, Dynamic Island, 120Hz | 6.7 OLED, Dynamic Island, 120 Hz |
| Camera | 12/12 MP | 12/12 MP | 48/12/12 MP and LiDAR | 48/12/12 MP and LiDAR |
| Charging Port | USB-C | USB-C | USB-C | USB-C |
| Operating system | iOS 17 | iOS 17 | iOS 17 | iOS 17 |
| Price | $699 | $799 | $999 | $1199 |
Unfortunately, just like this year, the new processors will only be available to top-end smartphones in the lineup. Basic versions will have to be content with the “old” A16. But, looking at his performance, I can’t say that it will be something very upsetting. Apple has done a great job with this chipset and its capabilities will last for several years.
iPhone 15 – camera
But one processor in a modern flagship is not enough. Users also want a great camera. With the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple has finally begun to increase the resolution of photos, which immediately affected the detail of the final shots. When approached, they look much better. Now you need to catch up with Android smartphones also in terms of optical zoom.
Here, Apple also has developments. The Cupertino company plans to install a periscope in the iPhone 15, which will have a closer zoom than the current telephoto lens. Immediately I would like to get something like a tenfold zoom, but I suggest not to count on such values. If Apple implements at least a fivefold increase, this will already be an excellent indicator and will finally allow us to catch up with Android flagships in this part.
Of course, I would like to see how Apple refines this technology and demonstrates to everyone how periscopes should really shoot. It is possible that specially for the new zoom level, some chips will appear in the camera.
iPhone 15 Pro design
Well, what interests almost everyone: how it will look new iPhone. After all, in iPhone 14 The building is in operation, which, in fact, is already three years old. Users want something new, and it’s time for Apple to step up to meet them. According to the latest rumors iPhone 15 Pro design and the iPhone 15 Ultra will be redesigned to remind you of… the iPhone 5C. Yes, you didn’t think so. Apple wants to return to this form. The back cover will resemble that of the iPhone 5C.
But there is no information about the design of the basic models, except for the rejection of the bangs and the transition to Dynamic Island. But it seems to me that they will also be updated. This is guaranteed to boost their sales. That is, the smartphone will not be completely rectangular, which will positively affect its ergonomics. It will be much more convenient to hold such a device in your hands. To some, such a case will remind the MacBook Air M2 or MacBook Pro 14 and 16. Their lower part, where the keyboard is located, is made in the same style. Apparently, Apple wants to bring all its devices to a single design code. Or just such a design was recognized as more successful.
In any case, in iPhone 2023 will come out with a new design, which in itself will increase its sales. After all, everyone should know that you have the newest iPhone. This means that at first the excitement cannot be avoided. It seems to me that before buying a new case, it will definitely be necessary to hold it. Still, even a small iPhone 14 falls into the hand of far from everyone. Looking at all these changes, tell us in the comments if you are waiting for any of the versions of the iPhone 15 and whether you will buy a new product. Apparently, interesting devices are waiting for us next year.
iPhone 15 – price
Separately, it is worth mentioning the cost of the new iPhone. Judging by the fact that Apple is going to seriously revise the positioning of all its smartphones, it is possible to reduce the price of the basic versions. iPhone 15 price will start at $699 and the iPhone 15 Plus, which is still planned, will start at $799. But the price cut will not affect the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra. At the same time, for the top-end model, a rise in price is generally expected.
Apple wants to further separate regular and professional smartphones in its lineup to make it easier for users to choose. Since the iPhone 14 Pro Max now costs $1099, you can safely expect the cost of the iPhone 15 Ultra at $1199. After all, you will have to pay for a new processor, cool cameras and other chips that Apple has to offer. At least, such a step by Cupertino is definitely not surprising.
