Recent leaks have generated excitement among enthusiasts as they hint at intriguing changes to the upcoming iPhone 15 series. These possible updates include a reduction in the size of the bezel and the addition of a new charging port. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, iPhone 15 models, including entry-level variants, may feature the unique pill-shaped cutout known as Dynamic Island, which was introduced on the iPhone 14 Pro.
The iPhone 15 series may have a radical new design: slim bezels, titanium frame, and maybe USB-C charging?
Looking for thinner bezels and a possible USB-C transition for the iPhone 15 series
Apple is reportedly working to reduce the size of the bezel using low-pressure injection overmolding (LIPO) technology, aiming to slim it down from 2.2 millimeters to a sleek 1.5 millimeters. Additionally, there are signs that the iPhone 15 series could eventually move to USB-C charging. Although this change may not happen 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 change is considered a significant step towards environmental sustainability and greater consumer convenience.
Speculations abound: camera improvements, A16 processor and a possible ‘Ultra’ model of iPhone
In addition to these developments, there is speculation about improvements in the camera and the inclusion of the A16 processor, previously introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro. In addition, rumors are circulating about the possibility of an ‘Ultra’ iPhone model to serve those looking for a high end.
Additionally, a separate report from Gurman indicates that the iPhone 15 series will adopt the chassis design of 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 is tradition, Apple usually launches its new iPhones in September and this year is expected to be no different. However, due to the anticipated advancements, it is speculated that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro could be priced higher compared to their predecessors.
