Recent leaks have generated excitement among enthusiasts as they hint at intriguing changes in the upcoming iPhone 15 series. These potential updates include a reduction in bezel size and the addition of a new charging port. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iPhone 15 models, including the entry-level variants, may feature the unique pill-shaped cutout known as Dynamic Island, which was introduced in the iPhone 14 Pro.
In the Pursuit of Slimmer Bezels and Potential USB-C Transition for iPhone 15 Series
Apple is reportedly working on reducing the bezel size using low-injection pressure overmolding (LIPO) technology, aiming to slim it down from 2.2 millimeters to a sleek 1.5 millimeters. Additionally, there are indications that the iPhone 15 series might transition to USB-C charging eventually. Although this change may not occur in the current generation, the European Union’s mandate for smartphones and tablets to have USB-C charging ports starting in 2024 could be a driving force behind the move. This shift is seen as a significant step towards environmental sustainability and enhanced consumer convenience.
Speculations Abound: Camera Improvements, A16 Processor, and a Possible iPhone ‘Ultra’ Model
In addition to these developments, there are speculations about camera improvements and the inclusion of the A16 processor, previously introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro. Moreover, rumors are circulating about the possibility of an iPhone ‘Ultra’ model to cater to those seeking a high-end option.
Furthermore, a separate report by Gurman indicates that the iPhone 15 series will adopt the chassis design from the iPhone 14, which is expected to improve the repairability of the devices. All models in the lineup, including the base iPhone 15, are expected to feature the Dynamic Island cutout.
As per tradition, Apple typically releases its new iPhones in September, and this year is expected to be no different. However, due to the anticipated advancements, there are speculations that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro might come with a higher price tag compared to their predecessors.
