The upcoming Apple iPhone 15 series is set to launch next month. With the launch event approaching, a growing number of leaks are surfacing. Now popular tipster Ice Universe recently unveiled three photos said to be of the Apple iPhone 15 Pro aluminum model prototype, offering a glimpse into what may be the next-gen iPhone experience.
iPhone 15 Pro is expected to feature thinner bezels, USB-C port
The images reveal that the iPhone 15 Pro retains the Dynamic Island housing the front camera. The dynamic island seems to have gone through some modifications as the front camera now looks separated making it more like an exclamation mark notch. However, the final version might maintain a uniform look similar to the previous gen.
The display bezels appear uniformly slim on all sides, while the edges of the prototype are gracefully curved, ensuring a comfortable grip. Notably, the prototype features a USB-C port, confirming earlier rumors of Apple’s gradual transition away from the lightning port.
Apple aims to reduce the bezel size of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max from 2.2mm to 1.5mm, using low-injection pressure overmolding (LIPO) technology, which has been successful in the Apple Watch. This technology will likely extend to the iPad in the future. Apple’s annual iPhone launch event is tentatively scheduled for September 12th or 13th, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The 15 series was recently spotted on BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards), hinting at its imminent launch.
The base models are set to receive minor specification tweaks, including a 48-million-pixel main rear camera, while the iPhone 15 Pro series is gearing up for substantial updates. These include an action button, a sturdy titanium frame, enhanced battery life, faster charging speeds, and the innovative 3nm A17 processor. A periscope-style zoom lens is another highlight of the flagship model.
As for pricing, the iPhone 15 Pro series is anticipated to witness a bump of $100 to $200, reflecting its advanced features. However, the base models are expected to retain their starting prices of $799 and $899. Apple’s production plans indicate a production target of 86.3 million units for the iPhone 15 series, with the premium models projected to dominate 65% of this figure. According to a recent report, Apple might actually manufacture 77 million units of the iPhone 15, a notably lower figure compared to earlier projections of 83-85 million units for this year’s shipment.
