Although there have been many rumors regarding the iPhone 15 series over the years, only a few of them with high confidence will come true.
Apple will introduce the iPhone 15 series in less than 2 months, so it is not surprising that a series of leaks about the phone have appeared in the past. If in doubt, here are four features that are almost certain to come to the next-generation iPhone lineup
Dynamic Island on all versions
Analyst Ross Young said that Apple will bring Dynamic Island to all iPhone 15 series models. Analysts Ming-chi Kuo and Mark Gurman also agree with this view. However, not every model supports Always On or ProMotion screen technology as Mr. Young believes they are only available on higher-end Pro models.
Analysts believe the addition of Dynamic Island to the standard models will help Apple boost sales, which the standard iPhone 14 models have disappointed by underselling their predecessors.
Different chips for different models
Gone are the days when Apple provided the same processor chip for every new iPhone. The changing trend begins in 2022 and will continue into 2023 when the upcoming A17 Bionic chip will be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models, while the A16 Bionic chip will power the sessions. standard iPhone 15 version.
Ming-chi Kuo also expects Apple to “dramatically upgrade hardware specifications” for the iPhone 15 Pro as part of its efforts to create an ecosystem for the Vision Pro. Meanwhile, a report from Bloomberg said that the new A17 Bionic chip will use TSMC’s new 3nm process to deliver better performance while requiring about 35% lower power
Exclusive periscope lens on iPhone 15 Pro Max
After years of speculation about the possibility of Apple equipping the iPhone with a periscope lens, it seems that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will become the first product with this new feature. Trendforce, Jeff Pu, and Ming-chi Kuo all think a periscope lens will come to the iPhone 15 Pro Max to bring 5x or 6x optical zoom.
There are reports that Apple will also equip a periscope camera for the iPhone 16 Pro launched next year. To do this, Apple can increase the screen size and rearrange the internal components of the phone.
Bye bye Lightning port
When the Lightning port was introduced a decade ago, Apple said the proprietary technology would power the company’s devices for the next 10 years. regulations So it’s time for the company to abandon the Lightning port in favor of USB-C, albeit partly because of the general charging set forth by the European Union (EU).
Rumors say the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will have Thunderbolt 4 port speeds. In contrast, the standard models will only stop at USB-C data transfer capabilities
