Apple is expected to unveil its iPhone 15 Pro and its siblings in September. The new model is likely to feature a number of notable enhancements, such as USB-C, smaller bezels and rounded edges and Dynamic Island on the front.
Also rumored to be included will be a dark blue option as well as an action button to replace the mute switch. Let’s glance at what’s to come this time.
Rumors
The iPhone 15 Pro is rumored to include a few major changes. These include the addition of a bigger battery, faster processor, upgraded RAM, and cameras with the highest optical zoom Apple offers. Another rumor suggests the more robust titanium frame and a more modern screen.
Although Apple transitioned away from Touch ID last year, there is speculation that there is a possibility that the iPhone 15 Pro will return to the feature. One of the top sources of Apple leaks is analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has claimed the 2023 model is likely to include an in-screen Touch ID sensor that works through the display (Apple holds a patent on such a sensor).
Another thing that’s likely to be added is the introduction of a second camera on the rear, allowing for three times the optical zoom. Also, Apple may offer 2TB of storage space in the iPhone 15 Pro, which is the largest of any device to date. Finally, the ultrawide-band chip that allows for more sophisticated tracking capabilities might get an upgrade. These rumored enhancements to energy efficiency will help to reduce the battery drain that is among the major issues with currently available iPhones.
Color Options
The iPhone 15 Pro will come with a range of colours, according to several rumors. Generally, Apple has more modern and youthful colors for its standard iPhone range, while models with Pro branding are more sophisticated and have deeper color options.
For the new iphone 15 pro, a Crimson Red finish is being rumored to replace the dark blue option available on Pro-branded phones. According to reports, the color will be comparable to the one that came along with the Ferrari 2022 F1 car and could be very attractive.
Furthermore, a light-green option will be offered as an additional shade for an iPhone 15 Pro. This color will be different from the yellow or pink shades currently available from Apple. The rumor that circulated on 9to5Mac claimed that these two color options will join three other colors: Midnight, Starlight, and [Product]RED finishes that will probably return this year.
The Pro-branded iPhones come with a silver finish that looks very polished and premium. However, it is less striking or enticing like the colors mentioned above. Additionally, a titanium grey finish could take over gold as the most popular alternative for the Pro-branded iPhones in the coming year, since Apple plans to switch to the titanium chassis for its iPhone. The color will match well with the new design of the chassis and look extremely premium due to this.
Technological Advancements
Apple’s 2023 iPhone 15 models are expected to include a wide range of technology advancements. Many features are said to be offered across the entire range of iPhone 15 models while others are exclusive to the Pro models.
The leaked CAD documents from ShrimpApplePro show the Pro models will have an updated volume button instead of two separate buttons and an updated mute button that’s configurable like that of the Action Button on the Apple Watch Ultra. The Pro models will also get upgrades to 6GB RAM and an upgraded Apple built modem.
The other major shift will be the introduction of USB-C to all of Apple’s 2023 iPhone 15 models. The reason for this is the new law requiring Apple to implement the change within Europe. The Pro versions of the iPhone 15 will also get the Dynamic Island and a slightly larger display, as per speculation.
Apple is also developing an innovative type of OLED screen, which may become available in the 2023 iPhone 15. This is known as the micro LED display. It will have improved color and power effectiveness. This isn’t likely to become an essential feature of the iPhone 15 and could be considered as an option for those looking for a premium handset.
