iPhone 15 Series: What We Know So Far
Similar to last year’s iPhone 14 lineup, the iPhone 15 series is likely to include four devices. The Apple iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Pro are rumoured to boast a 6.1-inch OLED display, similar to their predecessor. On the other hand, the iPhone 15 Plus and the iPhone 15 Ultra might feature a 6.7-inch OLED display. Powering these upcoming iPhones under the hood there could be Apple’s in-house Apple A17 Bionic chipset.The camera is one such aspect that is set to get a huge upgrade for a long time. The previous report suggests that the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus will implement a 48MP camera setup compared to a 12MP sensor which we saw in the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus. The iPhone 15 Ultra on the other hand could make use of a Sony IMX903 sensor, as per prediction from tipster Ice Universe.
There have been rumours that Apple might call its top-end iPhone 15 model as the iPhone 15 Ultra, instead of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. These details were shared by AppleInsider journalist Andrew O’hara on X (formerly Twitter) recently. The journalist has confirmed the change in nomenclature citing multiple sources. Furthermore, O’hara also had mentioned that the iPhone 15 Ultra will have a bigger display and a 10X periscope lens.
As far as the other changes in the iPhone 15 go, we might get to see the lineup implementing a USB Type-C charging instead of Lightning, considering the new laws in Europe. The previous leak also suggests that the iPhone 15 might ship with colour-matched braided USB-C cables. There are rumours that each cable could be available in colour similar to the shade of the iPhone 15 model. A recent leak also indicates that the iPhone 15 Pro will get new Gray and Blue colour replacing the Gold and Purple. Additionally, some rumours suggest that the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus will get a new Light Green colour which Apple is likely to call Mint.
