At the “Wanderlust” event on September 12, Apple will unveil its new iPhone models. Four variants are anticipated: the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max (sometimes known as the iPhone 15 Ultra). We’ve discussed the deluxe features of the Pro versions, but there are also some intriguing updates coming to the standard versions. This might inspire many individuals to consider upgrading.
Design & display
There will be a number of substantial design improvements. Both the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are anticipated to have a back design that is reminiscent of the iPhone 14 models, with a twin camera configuration. The back, however, is rumored to contain frosted glass. Traditionally, the Pro models have been the only ones with this frosted glass surface; normal models have always had a glossy finish. According to reports, the device’s frame is composed of durable aluminum, and the quiet toggle switch will be located on the left side.
The display sizes and resolutions on the front of the phones are expected to match those of the devices from the previous year. With a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen and a resolution of 2532 x 1170 pixels, the iPhone 15 is therefore likely to have one. The 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display on the iPhone 15 Plus, on the other hand, could have a resolution of 2778 x 1284 pixels. It’s important to note that neither of them is anticipated to contain the ProMotion feature, which provides a refresh rate of 120Hz. They are planned to have 60Hz panels instead. On a different subject, it is said that Apple will make the Dynamic Island function available on these gadgets.
If you’re unfamiliar, Apple’s “Dynamic Island” is a novel take on the “notch” design, which debuted on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Dynamic Island uses a pill-shaped cutout that can alter size and shape in place of the typical blacked-out region at the top of the screen. Incoming calls, alarms, notifications, Face ID authentication, turn-by-turn directions, music playback controls, and other information can all be displayed on this interactive section. It’s interesting that you can use this region as a multitasking shortcut by long-pressing it or tapping it to access different features or launch applications. Dynamic Island is versatile, but it still hides the TrueDepth front camera and the sensors that are in charge of the iPhone’s
Performance
Since the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are rumored to be equipped with the Apple A16 Bionic chipset, they should be at least as powerful as the Pro models from last year. According to Apple, the A16 Bionic chip in the iPhone 14 boasts a 7% quicker CPU than the A15 Bionic. Its base clock speed is 3.46GHz as opposed to the A15’s 3.23GHz. The AnTuTu V9 score of the A15 is 805,699 points, compared to the A16’s typical score of 947,554 points, to give you a clearer indication of the degree of improvement you can anticipate.
Having said that, the forthcoming 15 and 15 Plus versions will probably start off with 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM. Battery capacity is an additional noteworthy improvement. The report states that a 3,877mAh battery is anticipated for the iPhone 15 and a 4,912mAh battery for the iPhone 15 Plus. Comparing the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus to their predecessors, this results in a battery size increase of 18% for the iPhone 15 and 13.6% for the 15 Plus.
Apple is ultimately switching all of its iPhone models to USB-C charging ports this year, as is well known. According to rumors, the manufacturer will provide a braided, color-coordinated USB-C to USB-C cable in the box. You will need to purchase a new 5W USB-A port charger this year if you currently own one.
Camera
The camera department will soon receive another significant update. According to sources, the base iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models are anticipated to use a 48-megapixel Sony image sensor with an f/1.6 aperture for the main camera, which is a significant improvement over the iPhone 14’s 12-megapixel main camera. Higher-resolution photographs with better detail will be possible because to the increase in megapixels. Additionally, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with a /2.4 aperture will be included. It is anticipated that the Dynamic Island’s front camera will sport a 12-megapixel sensor, a /1.9 aperture, and autofocus.
Pricing & color options
The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are anticipated to launch with comparable price tags, unlike the Pro models. The 15-inch iPhone will therefore start at $799, while the 15-inch iPhone Plus will start at $899. Regarding possible colors, leaks indicate that we may anticipate these devices to be offered at launch in Cyan, light blue, black, starlight, yellow, and coral pink.
