iPhone 15 Pro
According to rumors circulating in May 2023, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are expected to be launched in September 2023 with several notable features and upgrades. Here’s a summary of the rumored features:
1. Design: The iPhone 15 Pro models are speculated to have an updated design with thinner, curved bezels and a titanium chassis. The mute switch is expected to be replaced by a redesigned “mute” button that may function as an Action button similar to the Apple Watch Ultra.
2. Display: The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will likely retain the 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch OLED displays, respectively, with a Dynamic Island cutout for the camera and Face ID hardware.
3. A17 Chip: The iPhone 15 Pro models are rumored to feature an upgraded 3-nanometer A17 chip exclusively, while the standard iPhone 15 models may continue using the A16 chip found in the iPhone 14 Pro models.
4. USB-C: All iPhone 15 models, including the Pro variants, are expected to switch from Lightning to USB-C ports. The Pro models may support USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 transfer speeds, enabling faster data transfers.
5. Periscope Camera: Both the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are likely to feature a periscope zoom lens as part of their camera setups. The Pro Max variant may offer 5x to 6x optical zoom, surpassing the 3x zoom capability of the iPhone 14 Pro models.
6. Connectivity: All iPhone 15 models are anticipated to use the same 5G Qualcomm modem chip technology for connectivity.
7. Pricing: Pricing details for the iPhone 15 Pro models have not been confirmed yet but can be expected to be higher than the more affordable iPhone 15 devices.
8. Compatibility: The design changes in the iPhone 15 Pro models, such as thinner bezels and a larger rear camera housing, may make older iPhone 14 Pro cases incompatible.
