  • Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 15 series by the end of 2023, which will come with many new features and a major design overhaul.
  • The iPhone 15 Pro Max is rumored to have a beautiful curved design, similar to the current generation Apple Watch and thinner bezels, resulting in a higher screen-to-body ratio.
  • The Dynamic Island, a new design feature that replaces the traditional notch, is also expected to be similar to the one on the iPhone 14 Pro, and the front camera setup on the iPhone 15 Pro series will be the same as the one on the iPhone 14 Pro series.
  • The iPhone 15 Pro series is expected to feature a titanium mid-frame, making the device look more premium and lighter.
  • The iPhone 15 series will feature the new A17 Bionic processor, the first processor from Apple to be fabbed using TSMC’s 3nm manufacturing process, improved camera system, and USB Type-C port for charging and data syncing, and it will ship with iOS 17 out-of-the-box.

It is expected that Apple will launch the iPhone 15 series by the end of 2023. The leaks and speculations suggest that the iPhone 15 series will come with many new features and a major design overhaul. A recent report by ShrimpApplePro highlights some of the possible features of the iPhone 15 series. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is rumored to have a beautiful curved design, similar to the current generation Apple Watch. Additionally, the iPhone 15 Pro series is also expected to feature thinner bezels, resulting in a higher screen-to-body ratio. The Dynamic Island, a new design feature that replaces the traditional notch, is also expected to be similar to the one on the iPhone 14 Pro. This means that the front camera setup on the iPhone 15 Pro series will be the same as the one on the iPhone 14 Pro series.

Furthermore, the report suggests that the 3D CAD renders of the iPhone 15 series will be available online by March or April, providing more information about the upcoming iPhone series.

One of the most significant changes in the iPhone 15 series is the use of a titanium mid-frame for the iPhone 15 Pro series. This will not only make the device look more premium, but it will also bring down the weight of the device by a couple of grams. Additionally, the iPhone 15 series is expected to feature the new A17 Bionic processor, the first processor from Apple to be fabbed using TSMC’s 3nm manufacturing process. In terms of camera features, the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro will have a dual-camera system, while the iPhone Pro models will feature an improved triple camera system with a periscope zoom lens. The iPhone 15 series is also expected to feature a USB Type-C port for charging and data syncing, replacing the traditional lightning port. And the iPhone 15 series will ship with iOS 17 out-of-the-box, which will be announced at the upcoming WWDC 2023.

All in all, the iPhone 15 series is expected to be a major upgrade over the current iPhone 14 series. While we can only wait for the official launch, the leaks and speculations suggest that the iPhone 15 series will be a game-changer in terms of design and features. The new titanium mid-frame, the Dynamic Island, the improved camera system and the A17 Bionic processor are just a few of the many features that are expected to make the iPhone 15 series a standout product in the smartphone market.
