iPhone 15: Release date, Price, News, Rumors, and Leaks
Despite the iPhone 14’s recent release, we’re already thinking about the iPhone 15. If Apple doesn’t use the “14S” designation, the iPhone 15 will arrive in late 2023. Since we’ve heard about iPhone 15 leaks and speculations, that’s improbable. Yes, pre-release iPhone information is available this early. Apple leaks often occur years before a product’s release. We’ve gathered all the news, speculations, and projections to offer you an early peek at the phone and its siblings. This article will be updated often between late 2022 and September 2023.
iPhone 15 release date
No iPhone 15 release date or debut date speculations have surfaced yet, but they seldom do more than a month before the launch event. Three of the four iPhone 14 models went on sale on September 16, a week after the presentation (and the iPhone 14 Plus on October 7). Apple releases on Tuesdays in the first or second week of September, sometimes on Wednesdays. In 2023, September 5 or 12 (Tuesdays) are likely; however, September 6 and 13 are also possible.
iPhone 15 price
We haven’t heard anything about the price, although the iPhone 14 series was somewhat more expensive than its iPhone 13 counterparts. 2023’s iPhone 15 may repeat this. The four iPhone 14 models have the following prices:
- iPhone 14 128GB: $799/£849/AU$1,399
- iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB: $1,599/£1,749/AU$2,769
That’s the complete cost range, albeit there are various devices and storage options between those points. The iPhone 15 Ultra, a new phone that might replace the iPhone 15 Pro Max, may start at $1,199 (likely roughly £1,309 or AU$2,099 based on Apple’s regular pricing). The iPhone 14 Pro Max costs $1,099, £1,199, or AU$1,899, thus the following model would cost at least $100 more. According to a leak, the iPhone 15 Plus may be cheaper than the 14 Plus. The iPhone 14 Plus’s poor sales need this adjustment. The iPhone 14 Plus costs $899, £949, or AU$1,579.
iPhone 15 rumors and leaks
We’ve heard several iPhone 15 rumors over a long period of time, so it’s hard to tell which are true. Apple is reportedly developing the 3nm A17 Bionic processor for the iPhone 15. Since the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max employ the A16 Bionic, and 17 is one higher than 16, we may have suspected this. One rumor says the A17 Bionic should be more efficient than the A16 Bionic, which should enhance battery life.
The iPhone 14 uses the older A15 Bionic processor, like the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, and another source implies that this new pattern of non-Pro phones utilizing older chipsets may continue. We’ve heard that the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus may employ an A16 Bionic. Qualcomm may offer the 5G modem again, sticking with chipsets. The Snapdragon X70, which outperforms the iPhone 14’s Snapdragon X65, will be chosen.
The iPhone 15’s Pro variants are expected to include 8GB of RAM and periscope cameras to boost telephoto zoom. Another report claims a new Sony sensor would be utilized, which collects more light than existing sensors and minimizes overexposure and underexposure. According to Apple analyst Jeff Pu (via 9to5Mac (opens in new tab), all four versions may include a 48MP primary sensor, with the two lowest receiving an upgrade.
All iPhone 15 models may include USB-C ports. The EU has ordered Apple to install USB-C charging connections to iPhones by 2024, but many fans think it will do it in 2023, and at least one leak supports that. Another reliable source said the whole iPhone 15 range would receive USB-C, but only the Pro versions would have faster data transfer rates. The ordinary iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Max will supposedly feature 480Mbps data transfer rates, while these two phones might have 20 Gbps or 40 Gbps. Apple has stated that it will transition to USB-C in Europe, but it hasn’t specified if it will be internationally. The first iPhone with USB-C may not be the iPhone 15.
Another source made a similar assertion without specifying which models might use titanium. However, the iPhone 15’s sides may curve toward the rear instead of having straight angles like the iPhone 14. Another source says Apple is still considering these curved sides, so they may not happen. Another report claims that all four iPhone 15 models will have slightly curved edges, resembling the iPhone 11, but the Pro and Pro Max (or Ultra) phones will have reduced bezels. The iPhone 15 Pro and Ultra may include solid-state volume and power buttons.
