iPhone 15 models are expected to be announced between September 12 and 13 The preorders and sales beginning on Friday (September 22,). This is an usual release timeframe for Apple.
In the CAD leaks, it is believed that the Pro models will eliminate the Lightning connector and replace it with USB-C, which is compatible with the latest European laws. This should allow faster charging speeds.
Titanium chassis
There’s been plenty of talk about the various upgrades Apple is rumored to be making in its iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max (or, in the case of who you believe the new iPhone Ultra). But one specific upgrade has been a standout with the titanium. Some sources have suggested that Apple will move from stainless steel and switch to titanium in its Pro models, which iphone 15 plus 256gb could reduce the weight of phones and make them longer-lasting.
This change is also believed to let Apple to change away from the current flat-sided design and into something more like the rounded edges that are used on new MacBook Pros. Curved edges will bring an elegant look for the devices, and still allow them to enable MagSafe and wireless charging.
Titanium is a good choice as it’s extremely light and robust, yet it is much less costly to produce that stainless steel. This means it could have a lower price-to-weight proportion than stainless steel. In fact, it might even cost less than aluminum. It’s currently used in Apple’s Apple Watch Ultra and physical Apple Card, so a switch to titanium for the iPhones could be an important change for the company. The change may not result in an increase in price for customers, dependent upon how much the company plans to invest.
Wireless charging
The forthcoming iPhone 15 series has been the focus of several of leaks, including CAD renders to rumors about the design of its camera. However, one of the most surprising rumors concerns its wireless charging capability. According to a report by ChargerLab The regular iPhone 15 will support fast wireless charging that can reach 15W. This is a huge improvement over the current rate of 7.5W, which is only available in conjunction with MagSafe chargers.
The feature will likely to be part of the forthcoming Qi2 open standard. This is an upgraded version of the existing MagSafe technology. It’s claimed to be more effective and provides better power transfer between the phone and charger. The company also claims to be more secure than MagSafe, which can become less stable or even dislodged after a while.
This latest innovation could mark the end of Apple’s”walled garden” policy which had previously restricted the use of non-Apple chargers for its devices. If Apple can eliminate its need for MagSafe chargers to enable wireless charging that is fast, it could allow additional devices, such as laptops or tablets that have a USB-C port. It’s also a smart option to ensure compliance with EU requirements that call for ports to charge devices and also for transfer of data.
Fast charging
Apple’s newest iPhone series is anticipated to receive a major improvement in its charging capabilities. Though Apple hasn’t officially announced the change, industry sources are claiming that the new phones are expected to have higher charging speeds than their predecessors.
But, fast charging options will likely to only be available on the Pro models. It’s possible that the base model won’t support USB 2.0 technology, and won’t offer much of an improvement over Lightning. The Pro model is, however, could be equipped by Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.2 and will allow blazingly fast file transfers.
Additionally, in addition to a quicker charging capabilities, the forthcoming iPhone 15 is also believed to have an improved camera. According to reports, the ‘Pro’ and Max’ variants will have the periscopic lens, which can give the possibility of six times optical zoom. The Pro models may also retain the 120Hz refresh speed.
As for the battery capacity of the iPhone 15, rumors are predicting that it’s going to have 11 to 18 percent larger capacity than the predecessor. The increase in capacity will enable the phone to last for more than the usual. The new phone will also include a 2-TB version of storage, which is double what was available in earlier versions of the iPhone.
