When Will the iPhone 15 Be Released? iPhone 15 Release Date, Price, and Specifications
Half of 2023 has already passed, and the annual mobile event, the iPhone launch, is fast approaching. Apple is expected to unveil the new iPhone 15 series at this year's fall event. As the most anticipated phone series, rumors about the iPhone 15 have been circulating for some time. Various media outlets are predicting the key features of this year's new iPhone. This article compiles the related rumors about the iPhone 15, predicting its specifications, price, release date, and other details to help you choose your desired phone in advance.
Will the iPhone 15 Change Its Naming Convention?
Starting with the name of the iPhone 15, Apple is likely to change the naming convention used since the iPhone 11. The iPhone 14 series released in 2022 includes the mid-range iPhone 14 with a 6.1-inch screen, the flagship iPhone 14 Pro, the mid-range iPhone 14 Plus with a 6.7-inch screen, and the highest-spec iPhone 14 Pro Max. Given that Apple named its highest-spec Apple Watch device "Ultra" last year, many analysts believe that Apple will abandon the "Pro Max" naming convention in favor of "iPhone 15 Ultra" for the highest-spec 6.7-inch model in the iPhone 15 series.
Rumored Specifications of the iPhone 15
As always, Apple will update many new features and designs for the new iPhone series. Here are some expected specifications for the iPhone 15 series:
New Chip in the iPhone 15
It is expected that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra (or iPhone 15 Pro Max) to be released later this year will feature the new A17 Bionic chip, manufactured by TSMC using a 3nm process. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will use the A16 Bionic chip from last year's iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. With the new series of chips, the performance of the iPhone 15 series is expected to improve by nearly 60% compared to the iPhone 14 series, potentially rivaling the MacBook.
Dynamic Island Extends to iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
Last year, Apple replaced the front camera notch of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with a new Dynamic Island design, significantly increasing the screen-to-body ratio of the flagship iPhones. This year, Apple will equip the entire iPhone 15 series with Dynamic Island cameras, allowing mid-range models like the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus to enjoy the rich features of Dynamic Island, blurring the line between mid-range and flagship iPhones.
iPhone 15 Series Adopts USB-C
In recent years, Apple has gradually replaced the Lighting interface with USB-C, and the iPad's charging port has already fully transitioned to USB-C. Additionally, the EU recently passed a law requiring all phones on the market to support USB-C charging cables for environmental purposes. The iPhone 15 series is expected to be the first iPhones to adopt USB-C, making it easier for users to connect and charge with other devices.
Predicted Price of the iPhone 15
Based on past experience, the price of the iPhone 15 series is not expected to change significantly and will likely follow the iPhone 14 series pricing, starting at HKD 6,899. However, some analysts believe that the iPhone 15 Ultra, potentially equipped with a 6x periscope lens to enhance telephoto capabilities, could be priced higher, possibly over HKD 15,000, making it the most expensive iPhone in history.
iPhone 15 Release Date
The annual fall event is typically held in early September, with sales starting the following Friday. The iPhone 15 series is expected to begin pre-orders on September 15, 2023, and officially go on sale on September 22, 2023.
