Apple’s much-awaited ‘Wanderlust’ event scheduled for September 12 is almost here, and the buzz surrounds the unveiling of their new iPhones. With smartphones becoming less mysterious by the day, we already have insights into what Apple might unveil.
Expect four new iPhones, including the standard iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, along with the two Pro variants – the smaller iPhone 15 Pro and the Pro Max.
USB-C Connectivity
Apple, in response to the European Union’s directives, is embracing change by incorporating the universal USB-C port into the iPhone. This transition is logical, considering most devices, including Apple’s own MacBooks and iPad Pros, have adopted USB-C. It’s also likely that the Pro models may enjoy faster USB speeds, possibly USB 3.2 or even Thunderbolt support, while the standard models may stick with USB 2.0.

New Titanium Frames
The iPhone 15 Pro series will introduce a new titanium alloy chassis, replacing the stainless steel used previously. Titanium offers advantages like increased strength and reduced weight, though it might not be as scratch-resistant as steel. Expect a brushed metal finish, departing from the mirrored look of the current Pros.

Slimmer Bezels
While retaining their 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max could feature brighter screens with more efficient LTPO controllers and notably thinner bezels, potentially making them the phones with the slimmest bezels yet.
A17 Chip with 8GB RAM
While the standard iPhone 15 models will house the A16 SoC, the Pros will upgrade to the groundbreaking A17 chip, boasting a 3nm process for enhanced processing performance and efficiency gains. Accompanying this chip, the Pro models may offer 8GB of RAM, up from the 14 Pro’s 6GB.
Enhanced Ultrawide and Zoom Cameras
The iPhone 15 Pro series is expected to maintain the 48MP IMX803 main camera while introducing a new 13.4MP f/2.2 ultrawide camera with an advanced 7p lens. The Pro model might also enhance the 12.7MP f/2.8 3x zoom through software improvements. However, the standout feature is a periscope zoom, exclusive to the Pro Max, potentially offering 5x or 6x zoom capabilities.

Price Adjustments and Storage
Reports suggest that Apple may hike the prices of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models to counteract declining sales. However, they might compensate by offering 256GB as the base storage option, aligning prices with storage capacities in the US.
Potential Delay for the iPhone 15 Pro Max
While the iPhone 15 series is set to be announced on September 12, pre-orders are expected to start on September 15, with the initial launch in select countries on September 22. However, the iPhone 15 Pro Max might face a slight delay in its release, potentially launching in October due to supply chain challenges.
