As the iPhone 15 series debut date approaches, we learn more about the future iPhones. With their considerable makeover and expanded functionality, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will take centre stage in the lineup. Here's a rundown of everything we've learned regarding the impending "Pro" iPhones. It should be noted that the following material has been assembled from leaked information that has emerged on multiple sites. Apple, as usual, is keeping quiet about the next generation of its devices.
iPhone 15 Pro series and Apple Watch Ultra
The iPhone 15 Pro series will get a substantial design update with a slightly curved titanium frame. The Apple Watch Ultra inspires the new design, and the choice of titanium rather than stainless steel is said to improve sturdiness while lowering device weight. Apple is also said to have replaced the mute switch with an action button, another design cue from the Apple Watch Ultra.
iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max: Covers and accessories will differ from the other iPhone models
The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are believed to have an MFi-certified USB Type-C connection with improved USB 3.2 data transfer speeds and Thunderbolt capability. Because of the design change, prior generation iPhone covers and accessories will no longer be compatible with the iPhone 15 series.
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max: Specifications
The A17 Bionic CPU with 8 GB RAM is claimed to power the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in terms of computing capability. According to a tweet from @URedditor, the processor will be manufactured using a 3nm technology, including six CPU cores with clock speeds of up to 3.7 GHz and six GPU cores. According to a Naver claim by yeux1122, the iPhone 15 Pro might be Apple's first smartphone with up to 2TB of internal storage. The iPhone 15 Pro will also receive Wi-Fi 6E, improved 5G networking, and a more efficient ultra-wideband chip with the new processor.
The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to have a 6.1-inch screen, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a 6.7-inch screen. According to Bloomberg, both will be built using a revolutionary LIPO or 'low-injection pressure overloading to lower the bezel size to 1.55mm further, making it the thinnest bezel display on any phone.
iPhone 15 series: Significant Improvements
Another area that is expected to see significant improvements is the camera. According to @URedditor, Apple will include a periscope zoom lens with 5x/6x optical zoom on the more expensive iPhone 15 Pro Max. The iPhone 15 Pro, on the other hand, is rumoured to employ the same 3x telephoto lens as the iPhone 14 Pro. According to MacRumors, Apple is also likely to announce new colour options for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which will be available in dark blue and red.
iPhone 15 series: Battery
According to an IT Home report, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max may have bigger batteries. The iPhone 15 Pro is supposed to have a 3,650 mAh battery. In comparison, the larger iPhone 15 Pro Max is claimed to have a 4,852 mAh battery, with both phones enabling fast charging using an MFi-certified cable and second-generation MagSafe wireless charging.
iPhone 15 series: Price
All of these changes are said to come at a cost, with Tim Long, an analyst at Barclays, predicting that due to higher manufacturing costs, the base model of the iPhone 15 Pro will be priced at $1,099, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be priced at $1,299 in the US.
