iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max : Latest Leaks
We’re a few months away from Apple’s potential announcement of the upcoming iPhone 15 series. However, that doesn’t mean we have to wait for every tidbit of information about these phones. A recent leak has revealed a new render of the rumored iPhone 15 Pro, shedding light on features like solid-state buttons and changes to the mute switch. Here’s a comprehensive rundown of all the current knowledge about the iPhone 15 Pro, including rumors, renders, leaked specifications, and more.
Rumors Surrounding the iPhone 15 Pro:
Taptic Buttons and Mute Switch:
The latest round of rumors concerning the iPhone 15 Pro focuses on “Taptic Buttons” and the traditional mute switch from Apple. Initial rumors suggested that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max would introduce elongated volume buttons with haptic feedback. However, recent reports suggest that these devices will retain the classic two-button design seen in earlier models. These details remain unconfirmed until the official launch.
Additionally, the iconic mute switch, present since the first iPhone, is rumored to be replaced with a physical mute button requiring manual pressing. Notably, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models will maintain the existing mute switch.
Ultra-Thin Bezels:
Reports indicate that the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will feature remarkably thin bezels, measuring just 1.55mm. If accurate, this would mark the slimmest bezels on a smartphone, surpassing the current leader, Xiaomi 13 series, with bezels measuring 1.81mm.
Dynamic Island and Display:
Similar to the iPhone 14 Pro series, the iPhone 15 Pro will incorporate a Dynamic Island feature. This feature will extend to every phone in the iPhone 15 lineup. Despite this, the iPhone 15 Pro’s display size and resolution are expected to mirror those of the iPhone 14 Pro. Leaked CAD renders suggest a curvier frame that seamlessly integrates with the display.
Design Details:
The iPhone 15 Pro models will introduce a new titanium chassis material, replacing the stainless steel used in previous iterations. However, this change is anticipated solely in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models. The displays will remain consistent with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, boasting 6.1 and 6.7 inches OLED screens.
Regarding color options, rumors suggest that the iPhone 15 Pro series will be available in blue, silver, space gray/black, and titanium gray.
Accompanying the new chip:
Advanced 3nm A17 Bionic Chip In terms of performance, the upcoming iPhones will be powered by Apple’s latest A17 Bionic chip, likely based on TSMC’s 3nm architecture. While the “Pro” models will benefit from the upgraded processor, the standard iPhone 15 and 15 Plus might incorporate the A16 Bionic chip due to cost considerations.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are expected to offer increased RAM, possibly ranging from 6GB to 8GB. Nevertheless, recent leaks suggest that these iPhones will maintain the existing 6GB RAM configuration. Storage options for the Pro models will start at 256GB.
Enhanced Connectivity:
The Pro model will exclusively feature WIFI 6 specifications, offering enhanced bandwidth and capacity. Additionally, these models could adopt the Qualcomm X70 5G modem seen in the iPhone 14 Pro series, though rumors also hint at Apple developing its own 5G modem.
Another noteworthy inclusion is the anticipated introduction of a new Ultra-wideband (UWB) chip in the iPhone 15 Pro models. This UWB chip is speculated to integrate with the Vision Pro headset planned for an early 2024 release by Apple
Camera Improvements:
Regarding cameras, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are likely to sport identical sensor configurations, with a notable exception. Both models will incorporate telephoto cameras, while the 15 Pro Max might introduce a periscope lens enabling 6x optical zoom. In comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max offer a 3x optical zoom telephoto lens.
Additionally, the leaked render reveals a thicker camera bump on the 15 Pro Max, suggesting a larger camera sensor compared to the 14 Pro. Despite this, the camera housing and sensor arrangement appear similar to the iPhone 14 Pro. The iPhone 15 Pro model will also feature updated rear cameras with a glass-plastic hybrid lens boasting an f/1.7 aperture.
Additional Specifications:
Following mandates by the European Union (EU) and India, the iPhone 15 lineup will incorporate USB-C ports. Notably, the iPhone 15 Pro models will feature an upgraded USB-C port with improved USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 transfer speeds. Chargers will match the iPhones’ colors, and charging speeds are rumored to receive a boost to 35W.
iPhone 15 Pro Price and Availability As is customary, Apple is expected to unveil its next iPhone lineup in September of this year.
Price:
According to information from tipster Jeff Pu, the iPhone 15 Pro’s starting price could be USD 1,199 for the 128GB variant, potentially reaching USD 1,699 for the 1TB version. Similarly, the iPhone 15 Pro Max might be priced at USD 1,299 for the 128GB model and USD 1,799 for the 1TB version.
