iPhone 14 barely saw the light of day, but Apple already has an iPhone 15 launch date

Although the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are less than a month old since their launch, Apple is already taking steps to launch iphone 15 not have any failures; at least when it comes to marketing in physical stores.

The fact that a new generation of iPhone will appear in the last months of 2023 is no secret to anyone. In fact, usually after the launch of a new iPhone immediately after – even before – there are rumors about it. However, this time Apple has gone too far ahead.

According to MacRumors, in Cupertino have already notified their Apple Store employees in the UK that they cannot take holidays from September 15 to October 7, 2023.; nor between December 2 of the same year and the beginning of 2024. In the first period, the company expects a lot of activity in its stores, no doubt due to the launch of the iPhone 15. The second period is associated with the Christmas season and high sales of the same.

While Apple typically sends out these notifications to its employees before a new iPhone hits the market, it usually happens a few weeks in advance, not a full year. Even the employees themselves are somewhat surprised by the situation, although they understand that the company intends to better prepare for a meeting with high demand for the iPhone 15.

So now we know that Apple wants to release the iPhone 15 on Friday, September 15, 2023 —curiously, the day coincides with the generation of the device—. Of course, there are many factors that influence a company to determine this important date. Therefore, changes in the calendar are not ruled out. After all, it’s almost a full year, and in today’s world, there are many unexpected obstacles that may come your way.

iPhone 15 will take the USB-C train

There’s another big iPhone 15 detail we already know beyond a possible release date. If all the reports that have appeared in recent months are correct, This will be the first iPhone to say goodbye to the Lightning port in favor of USB-C.. Now this decision is due to European regulation, and not so much with the desire of Apple.

As you probably know, at the end of September the European Union approved, for better or worse, common charging port for all smartphones. This standard specifies that manufacturers must include USB-C in all their new terminals. So Apple had no wiggle room and would have to jump on the bandwagon – worldwide – of that standard to avoid problems.

This is the real reason the iPhone 15 and future models will have USB-C. “We remain concerned that strict regulation requiring only one type of connector will stifle rather than encourage innovation, which in turn will harm consumers in Europe and around the world,” Apple said of the rule.
