According to tradition, Apple is expected to host a new product event around September this year, where the highly anticipated iPhone 15 series will be officially unveiled.So there are only about 3 months left before the release of the new generation of iPhone 15 series. The following is a summary of the configuration information about the iPhone 15 series.

It is reported that the iPhone 15 series will continue to offer four models similar to the iPhone 14 series: the 6.1-inch iPhone 15, the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus, the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro, and the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max.

1. Appearance

The iPhone 15 series will restart the round metal frame of the iPhone 6 era, bid farewell to the right-angle frame, and return to the classic design. The middle frame of the iPhone 15 series has an obvious curved design, which is not found on the previous generations of right-angle metal middle frame models. Apple aims to enhance the grip sensation for users without increasing the weight of the device.

2. Chip

The iPhone 15 Pro series will be equipped with TSMC's 3nm process (N3B) A17 chip. It is reported that N3 is TSMC's first-generation 3nm process and still uses FinFET structure devices. According to TSMC, compared with the N5 process, the N3 logic density is increased by about 60%, or the power consumption is reduced by 30% to 35% at the same speed, and it supports the innovative TSMC FINFLEXTM architecture.

Although the A17 will only be used in the iPhone 15 Pro series, the two standard models of the iPhone 15/15 Plus will also be upgraded to the A16 chip. Compared with the A15 chip of the iPhone 14/14 Plus, the performance is still improved to a certain extent.

3. Screen

The entire iPhone 15 series adopts the "Dynamic Island" design. The screen size of the iPhone 15 is 6.2 inches, which is slightly larger than the 6.1 inches of the previous generation. It may be because the frame has been narrowed and the screen ratio has increased. The screen size of the iPhone 15 Plus is 6.7-6.8 inches, and the bangs have been replaced by dynamic islands. It is a pity that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus still have 60Hz screens.

The screen of the iPhone 15 Pro series is not only an OLED screen with an LTPO adaptive refresh rate, but also increases the brightness of the screen to a maximum of 2500 nits, making it the model with the best screen quality in the history of the iPhone.

4. Interface

Furthermore, the iPhone 15 series will replace the Lightning port with USB-C across all models, discontinuing the long-standing Lightning interface. Reports from insiders suggest that Apple will not enforce MFI restrictions. This means that users can use compatible charging cables regardless of whether they are official Apple products..

Regarding charging details, leaks indicate that the standard iPhone 15 models will support a maximum charging power of 20W, while the Pro models will support up to 27W charging power.

5. Camera

After upgrading the main rear camera from 12MP to 48MP in the iPhone 14 Pro series, the iPhone 15 series will continue to elevate its imaging capabilities.

Firstly, the main rear camera of the standard iPhone 15/15 Plus will also be upgraded to 48MP. The main rear camera of the iPhone 15 Pro series will be upgraded to Sony’s three-layer stacked IMX903 sensor, featuring a 1/1.14-inch photosensitive unit, compared to the 1/1.28-inch unit in the IMX803 sensor of the iPhone 14 Pro series. The iPhone 15 Pro series will significantly improve the amount of light intake, resulting in more impressive low-light and night-time photography. However, there is still a considerable gap compared to the one-inch sensors used in some Android devices.

6. Pricing

Reports suggest that the average selling price of the iPhone 15 series will reach $925, a $100 increase from last year. The price of the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be raised by $200, and the top-of-the-line iPhone 15 Pro Max with 1TB of storage could reach a price of $1800, making it the most expensive new iPhone ever.

According to reports from Sina Hot Topics, "June 2023 iPhone 15 panel orders are expected to be 100% higher than the same period last year for the iPhone 14." This indicates that compared to last year, the supply situation is better this year, and Apple has the capacity to produce more new iPhones before the launch.”

The report also mentioned, "The proportion of Pro models in iPhone 15 panel orders is higher than that of the iPhone 14 series during the same period last year. From June to July, the Pro models account for 58% of the iPhone 15 panel shipments, while the iPhone 14 Pro models during the same period last year only accounted for 43%."

Considering this, Apple seems to be more optimistic about the sales of the Pro versions in the iPhone 15 series. Based on the sales experience of the iPhone 14 series, although the Pro models have a higher price, they have proven to be the best-selling products within the lineup.

Based on the current information, the iPhone 15 series is expected to start production in July, and more leaks and information should surface then. Users who are interested can stay tuned. Considering the existing information, which product upgrades are you most looking forward to?
