Apple could launch an iPhone 15 Pro and its siblings in September. This year’s model is expected to have a few notable advancements like USB-C, smaller bezels and rounded edges along with Dynamic Island in the front.
There is also speculation that there are a dark blue colour option as well as an action button as an alternative to the mute switch. We’ll glimpse at the features we’re expecting this time.
Rumors
The iPhone 15 Pro is rumored to feature a number of significant changes. This includes an increased battery capacity, stronger processor, improved RAM and a camera that offers the greatest lens-based zoom Apple has ever provided. Another rumor suggests that the frame is more durable made of titanium and more sophisticated technology for the screen.
Even though Apple changed its mind about Touch ID last year, there are rumors the iPhone 15 Pro will return to it. One of the best sources of Apple leaks is analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims the 2023 iPhone is likely to include an in-screen Touch ID sensor that works through the display (Apple has a patent for the sensor).
Another feature that could be added is the introduction of a rear camera that will allow for 3X optical zoom. Furthermore, Apple may offer 2TB of storage capacity in the iPhone 15 Pro, which will be the biggest ever offered by any iPhone model. Finally, the ultrawide-band chip that provides more advanced tracking capabilities could receive an upgrade. The rumored improvements in energy efficiency could help in reducing the battery drain that is among the biggest problems with the current iPhones.
Color Options
The iPhone 15 Pro will come with several colors, according to various speculations. It is generally believed that Apple gives more contemporary and vibrant colors for its standard iPhone lineup while Pro-branded models are more sophisticated and have deeper choices of colors.
To be featured on the next iPhone 15 Pro, a Red-colored finish has been rumored to replace the current dark blue that is available for Pro-branded phones. The hue is said to be identical as the one found along with the Ferrari 2022 F1 car and it will certainly be striking.
Additionally, a light green alternative will be available as an alternative shade to an iphone 15 pro. This shade would be quite different from the yellow and pink colors currently being offered by Apple. According to a report from 9to5Mac reported that these two hues will go with those of the Midnight, Starlight, and [Product]RED shades that could come back this year.
The Pro-branded iPhones will also offer a silver-colored finish, which looks very polished and premium. It’s just far from being as enticing or eye-catching as the aforementioned colors. Furthermore, a titanium gray finish is likely to be the primary choice for Pro-branded iPhones this year since Apple is moving to titanium as its chassis. The colour will go nicely to the new chassis, and look extremely premium as a result.
Technological Advancements
Apple’s 2023 iPhone 15 models are expected to have a number of tech advancements. A few of these capabilities are believed to be available across all iPhone 15 models while others are only available on the Pro models.
A leaked set of CAD designs from ShrimpApplePro show the Pro models will have a new unified volume button instead of two separate buttons and a new mute switch that’s configurable like it’s Action Button on the Apple Watch Ultra. The Pro versions will also receive an upgrade from 4GB to 6GB RAM and an upgraded Apple designed modem chip.
A further significant modification will be the introduction of USB-C to the 2023 Apple iPhone 15 models. This is due to the new law requiring Apple to switch over in Europe. The Pro versions of the iPhone 15 will also get the Dynamic Island and have a bigger screen, according to rumors.
Apple is also developing another type of OLED screen that could be available in the 2023 iPhone 15. The screen is referred to as a micro LED display and will have improved color and power effectiveness. It isn’t expected to be a major feature on the iPhone 15 and could be available as a choice to those who want an expensive smartphone.
