The iPhone 14 series was only just introduced by Apple. The iPhone 15's design and some of its characteristics have already been revealed, but there is still a long wait before the next version of the high-end handset is released. It may be too early to talk about the iPhone 15 series but the market is already filled with numerous rumours surrounding the smartphone. The market is buzzing with features and design changes that may be expected on the iPhone 15 device. 

iPhone 15 - Features we know!

The new iPhone 15, then, According to the preliminary information we have, the iPhone 15 will sport a new border style. The back edge corner will no longer be square but rounded instead, as seen in the photographs. Titanium will also be the material. It's still premature, so we accept things as they are.

Rounded Design 

The iPhone 15 will have a rounded appearance, departing from the current squared-off form, according to what I know from the source. The business plans to employ a titanium chassis in addition to a rounded shape. All iPhone 15 models will include pill-and-hole cutouts similar to the iPhone 14 Pro models, enabling them to employ the Dynamic Island feature. This is another significant improvement.

Sony's Image Sensor

According to reports, I am speculating the gadget has a twin camera arrangement on the rear. It is predicted to use a 64 MP Sony IMX787 sensor, which would be a far more potent alternative to the Pixel 6a's IMX363 sensor. Additionally, a Sony IMX712 ultra-wide-angle sensor is anticipated to be included in the gadget.

USB Type-C Port

Apple could be finally preparing its iPhones for a Type-C connection. India and the European Union (EU) are advocating for a universal device charger. A resolution requiring USB Type-C ports on all consumer electronics by the end of 2024 has already been approved by the European Parliament. To meet EU regulations, Apple is anticipated to switch from its lightning port to the Type-C connection.

Periscope Camera

For the iPhone 15 Pro models, I am foreseeing that Apple will use a periscope telephoto lens that the company has reportedly been developing for some time. Compared to the current telephoto lens, which has a 3x zoom limit, the Periscope lens will enable the device to offer up to 10x optical zoom.
Furthermore the battery life of every model in the iPhone 15 series is anticipated to be better than that of the earlier models. The gadgets will come pre-installed with the iOS 17 operating system. According to information provided by analyst Ming Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Ultra may include a solid-state button design. This is comparable to the home button design found on the iPhone 7, iPhone 8, and a few other models, and it will let the device respond to a user's touch without having a person to physically hit the button.

iPhone 15 - The Rumours!

Although it's important to keep in mind that many hardware changes are probably planned at least a few years in advance, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that strong sales of iPhone 14 Pro models would likely encourage Apple to increase differentiation between the iPhone 15 Pro. There are currently at least four features rumoured to be exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro models:

Is iPhone 15 Pro going to have 4 Cameras?

The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models will continue to have two cameras on the back, according to leaks, but the Pro and Ultra variants will have more cameras. It is foreseen that the iPhone 15 Pro would sport a triple camera system, the third of which will be a 3X zoom lens.

Dynamic Island for all models

The iPhone 15 models, which are most likely to be introduced next year, will all include the Dynamic Island feature, according to tech giant Apple. On the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro max, a pill-shaped region called Dynamic Island is located around the Face ID sensors and front camera. When iOS 16.1 is published later this year, the functionality will integrate with Live Activities in third-party applications and can display system warnings for things like incoming phone calls and the Face ID login prompt.

Qualcomm Modem Chip

As far as we can tell, the next-generation iPhone 15 series will use 5G modems, according to a statement from chipmaker Qualcomm. Previously, Qualcomm had intended to supply approximately 20% of the iPhone 15 series' 5G.

Maybe the first to have an A-series chip

The Pro and Ultra variants are believed to employ the new Apple A17 Bionic CPU, while the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus may include Apple's A15 chipset. According to reports, the Pro versions of the iPhone 15 series will include the capacity to record 8K films, which the iPhone 14 series still lacks.

Expected launch date in Australia & pricing

If all goes according to the previous release tempi I can expect Apple to announce its iPhone 15 lineup in or around the middle of September of 2023. From what I can comprehend from the rumours, Apple iPhone 15 with 8 GB RAM / 512 GB internal storage, Black colour, 12MP Dual rear camera and 12MP front selfie camera, Processor Apple A17 Bionic, Apple IOS 17, Battery Capacity 4200mAh price in Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane)will start from AUD 1,256.

Conclusion

It has been reported that the iPhone 15 Pro Max may eventually get the name iPhone 15 Ultra due to the enhanced distinction. By encouraging people to purchase Pro versions, Apple may raise the average selling price of the iPhone. As of this year, only the iPhone 14 Pro versions were equipped with Apple's newest A16 Bionic chip; the normal iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus models continued to use the A15 Bionic chip from the previous year. The information I now have is simply a preview of what to expect because there are still several months until the devices are released, and it's probable that further functions may be revealed.
