From year to year, Apple sells smartphones in circulation, and the demand for them is only maximum. However, the storm of emotions from each iPhone is gone.
Are smartphones just tired and the hype for them is falling down? Maybe. Though there seem to be other reasons as well.
Recently, Apple at some points, I will say this, is clearly marking time. The company has always been conservative, but in 2023 it will definitely should show how to make top “pipes”.
Gathered together some of the nuances of the “portrait” of the iPhone 15 line based on plums and rumors, richly diluted with their desires.
1. The entire iPhone 15 lineup is in dire need of a new design.
New smartphones in 2023 will have a smoother
Apple smartphones naturally do not change, they are watching with the iPhone 12 line from 2020. They still have bars with even corners, which still dig into the palm.
This would not have been anything like that if the competitors had not tried dozens of different pipes for literally every taste.
Fortunately, judging by the numerous leaks, a few will fall in the foreseeable future. The changes mostly affected the flagship models, but at the initial level it is worth waiting pretty rounded cornersthat have some variety.
However, no one can be sure about the continuity of generations. Therefore, many elements, including the selective arrangement of cameras as a model, return to their places.
2. The bezels around the display should become a little thinner
Even the base models of the iPhone 15 (right) get a denser texture around the screen – this is clearly visible when searching with the iPhone 14 (left)
Based on the renders that exist based on Apple’s existing database of case makers, the bezels around the screens in the iPhone 15 lineup are indeed shrinking.
This nice innovation will be clearly visible even in the standard pattern, but it will attract the most attention in the flags.
Apparently, the iPhone 15 Pro Max or another flagship of this year is provided the brightest shots in history among all smartphones that have ever entered the sport of the day.
According to insider data, the thickness of the device is 1.55 mm. For comparison, at the moment is the incentive for Xiaomi 13 with a size of 1.61mm.
It’s hard to say where in this abstract rating of smartphones, in which the screen covers the front panel on the side panels. Apparently, the comparison is only with classic models.
3. The screen of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro increases by 0.1 inches
Reducing the bezels around the screens will increase their usable area
Most likely, this year Apple will introduce 5 iPhone models at once 15: basic, Plus, Pro, Pro Max, as well as a very expensive flagship Ultra.
By comparing the frames around the screen, the base iPhone 15 and the compact iPhone 15 Pro will retain their previous dimensions, but larger displays are obtained: it was 6.1 in size, 6.2.
Resolution and repetition rate at this unknown moment, but probably eliminated without significant change.
4. Dynamic Island will be available on all iPhone 15 models.
Dynamic Island in all new models of Apple smartphones becomes massive for its promotion from outside
In 2017, Apple introduced the iPhone X with an interesting new app. Discussion of the cutout for TrueDepth, a front-facing camera system with sensors that users mark on their faces via Face ID.
In the future, this innovation has become commonplace for absolutely all smartphones of the company.
A similar event took place in 2022. The company showed off the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with Dynamic Island, a new type of notch that detaches from the edge of the screen and has a ton of interactive features.
Judging by the rumors, these features will be bundled in the iPhone 15 lines absolutely all smartphones of the company.
Is it good? Certainly! Well, or so it seems to me.
5. The sound mode switch may disappear
The load of the mute lever will not be taken by either the volume buttons or the iOS “Control Point”
In the iPhone 15, Apple appears to be dropping an element that was part of all its smartphones released in 2007.
The case with the automatic sound mode switch, about the same lever, files can be switched to silent mode.
Curiously, the company got rid of this element in the iPad a few years ago. In the iPhone, he still died as a tribute to memory.
More likely, first no lever reset valve only iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and the “mythical” iPhone 15 Ultra. From other models, it will be gradually cut out.
Is it good or bad? Hard to tell. Moreover, it is quite possible that the sample without the coveted toggle switch, which fell into the hands of insiders, is nothing more than one of several variants of one of the iPhone 15 models.
6. The place of physical points on the edges will definitely be occupied by touch
The fewer elements that physically affect the case, the greater the level of moisture protection can ultimately be achieved.
It is likely that Apple’s touch screen faces this year will lose not only the toggle switch for switching modes, but also physical buttons.
Their place was taken by touch keys, like the “Home” key in the same iPhone 7. Let me remind you that it simulates the use of the Taptic Engine with the required level of pressure on it.
Such an innovation may be associated not only with the desire for some diversity, but also with the potential waterproof suitability level new devices.
7. Additional button for actions like in Apple Watch Ultra
A button instead of a transition toggle switch can easily be built in
It is likely that a special customizable button is provided on the side faces of the iPhone 15 Ultra or other smartphones from the new line.
Following the example of the Apple Watch Ultra, it first performs programmed tasks. But in the end it will turn out to be reassigned to something more useful.
For example, I always had to stay alone with myself. separate button to launch the camera and taking the shutter.
8. Variant with a titanium case on the example of the Apple Watch Ultra
This is what an iPhone 15 Ultra might look like in a titanium case
iPhone in the style of Apple Watch Ultra – essence.
Its exclusive feature should be the case made of titanium. This material has a set of undeniably class features, including low weight and unprecedented stability.
A premium-level device made from the proposed material will be a great idea for the company’s new flagship.
The only thing is, there are questions about the operation of MagSafe. As a result, a large part of the ecosystem of magnetic devices remains Qi-based wireless charging, which does not work through metal.
9. Universal USB Type-C instead of proprietary Lightning
Probability, the most sustainable new gadget innovation
Type-S instead of Lightning should appear at least in the flagship iPhone 15 with the prospect of a full transition. There are no other options.
Honestly, it’s very annoying to use with you, although you could use it several times.
10. iPhone 15 Ultra with battery life
For more battery life all Apple
Apple Watch Ultra lasts twice as long as regular Apple Watch.
It would be nice to have iPhone 15 Ultra with 2x battery life in case of detection with actual stains on Apple smartphones.
How to do this, the question is only to the company. There is a feeling that everything is possible.
11. Adequate technology for rapid diagnosis as in the participants
New Type-C smartphones are also needed for fast charging
Today, more than 20–30 watts cannot be squeezed out of the iPhone charging port. Competitors at the same time are returning 120W (hello iQOO 9T) and even 210W (mid-budget Redmi Note 12 Explorer).
Together with the transition to USB-C, this indicator could also be improved. Moreover, there are already rumors about this.
However, it is important to understand that even if Type-C fast charging is available in the new iPhones, it will still be available. not with all cables and adapters.
12. I would like to see a less protruding camera
iPhone with significant outstanding cameras
I wish Apple got a titanium iPhone 15 Ultra that could get a little thicker for a bigger battery.
A thicker device would also help make this an unholy big camera pop-up on a phone near to the far body.
It would also be great to just put your smartphone on the table so that it does not stagger.
13. The main chip of the iPhone 15 will be a quarter faster
The growth of a very large level, if it is realized, is amazing
A17 Bionic will be based on 3nm process technology. This Apple processor is installed in the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.
In the single-core Geekbench 6 test, the alleged new chip scored 3019 points, and in the multi-core test it scored 7860. record results for the central processor.
According to the numbers, the A17 Bionic is 20.6% and 24% more powerful than the A16 Bionic in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.
Usually, Apple increases the performance of new chips by about 10%, so these downloads look unusual.
14. Fewer smartphones will support more than just eSIM
Today, Apple smartphones ONLY work with eSIM in the US only
The iPhone 14, which does not work with SIM cards, is only officially sold in the US today.
However, Apple’s initiatives may appear in the future geography. expansion to European and other countries.
Whether that’s good or bad is up to you to decide. Personally, eSIM is more convenient for me. All cellular packages are always checked in electronic format. Unfortunately, this is not always possible.
15. Of course, no new colors
Pink and new blue for base models
Pink and bright blue for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, as well as noble dark red for the flagship models. Thus must be hits of the season.
Variety has never been bad. The main thing is that the classic shades in the assortment also remain.
5 more individual features to think about
16. Snapshots at 120Hz once again receive only flagship models. I would like to see these in the regular iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, but insiders confirm the opposite.
17. Always on screen will also be only in the flagships. It’s unfortunate, but there is confirmation.
18. USB protocol in different models of new Apple smartphones will be different. The basic ones will work on USB 2.0 with little danger, as now on Lightning, USB 3.0-2 is provided only by flagships.
19. MFi protection isn’t going anywheretherefore, the full benefit of moving to USB-C is obtained only with significant cables.
20. Prices return to plus or minus the same level. However, if the iPhone 15 Ultra comes out, the average cost in the line will rise significantly.
New smartphones will not appear as a revolution, but still
Upcoming flagships should be presented in such new noble colors
If you’ve read this far, you should have a broad constitutional question in your mind: wait for iPhone 15 or buy iPhone 14 right now.
I myself plan to buy an iPhone 14 Pro Max in the coming days. Tired of waiting for the right opportunity.
However, he would definitely not disappear as a USB-C enabled device. And what do you think?
