iPhone 15

It appears one feature of the Apple Watch Ultra may be making its way to the iPhone Pro models this year. The mechanical mute switch is being replaced by a capacitive button, and a reliable source indicates that this may also function as a user-programmable iPhone 15 Action button.

It’s possible that the new volume rocker switch may also allow users to choose exactly how it works …

Apple began its switch to eSIM-only iPhones last year by ditching the physical SIM card altogether in the United States. According to a new report today, the company could expand its SIM card-free iPhone models to more countries in Europe this year with the iPhone 15.

Chinese manufacturer BOE has reportedly been unable to fix the issues it had in making the iPhone 15 display, with Apple pulling orders from the company for now.

The problem concerns the Dynamic Island cutout for the front camera and Face ID tech, and is a setback to Apple’s plan to reduce its dependence on Samsung …

With the iPhone 15 launch this fall, Apple is expected to bring the Dynamic Island to the entire lineup for the first time. In conjunction with this, the company is also reportedly planning to move the iPhone’s proximity sensor inside the Dynamic Island.

The primary purpose of the proximity sensor is to shut off the screen when a user holds their phone up to their ear. It also plays a role in optimizing the Always-On Display of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Based on the latest reports, iPhone 15 will be the one to finally ditch the Lightning connector in favor of USB-C. However, although USB-C has become an industry standard, Apple still plans to limit it somewhat on the iPhone. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported on Monday that the USB-C port will enable faster charging speeds for the iPhone 15, but only with certified cables.

We’ve already visualized the iPhone 15 lineup in a number of different ways, including high-quality renders based on leaked CAD files. Now, Macotakara has gotten their hands on some 3D-printed iPhone 15 dummy units…

While the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are expected to gain the Dynamic Island this year, there are still apparently two display features they’ll miss out on. According to a new report on the Korean blog website Naver, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will not feature Always-On display or ProMotion features.

As Apple prepares its production ecosystem for the iPhone 15 lineup due in September, we remain in the midst of revealing hardware leaks. The latest is a set of front glass that will purportedly be used on the next iPhone later this year. The reliable hardware leaker ShrimpApplePro shares the video of what they claim to be authentic based on their source.

When Apple launches the iPhone 15 in six months, it likely won’t include displays from BOE. The Chinese supplier has reportedly been faced with “technological problems” after trying to win Apple’s business this year.

New CAD drawings point to the iPhone 15 Pro volume control being a single rocker-style button, rather than two separate ones for up and down.

Additionally, the moving mute switch may be replaced by a button, as Apple makes a switch from mechanical controls to solid-state ones …

Those of us who’ve been waiting impatiently for a USB-C iPhone, so we can finally use a single set of cables for all our Apple devices, will be getting our wish in this year’s iPhone 15 lineup. But a leaker with a decent track record warns that there may be a catch.

ShrimpApplePro, who got hardware details right for the iPhone 14, says that we’ll need to use a new lineup of MFi USB-C cables to get full functionality …

So far, 9to5Mac has shown off exclusive renders of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro. Now, we’ve gotten our hands on CAD models for the iPhone 15 Plus, and our resident 3D Graphics expert, Ian Zelbo, has put together some exclusive renders showing off the new device.

A report back in December suggested that the iPhone 15 battery life may be improved by the move to a 3nm process for the A17 chip. Now it seems like the display driver may also play a role in boosting the time you’ll be able to go between charges.

This, too, is made possible by using a smaller process, as the OLED display driver chip is reportedly moving from 40nm to 28nm …

Following our exclusive reporting on the iPhone 15 Pro last week, a pair of new images have emerged on Twitter today. A Twitter leaker has shared two images of what appears to be the base model iPhone 15. As widely expected, the images confirm that the iPhone 15 will make the switch to USB-C this year.

9to5Mac yesterday gave an exclusive first look at the iPhone 15 design, based on CAD drawings provided to a reliable casemaker.

It appears to be a truly beautiful evolution of the flat-sided form factor first seen in the iPhone 4, revisited in the original iPhone SE, and then revived for the iPhone 12 to iPhone 14 …

We have obtained exclusive renders of the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro, based on a CAD model provided to 9to5Mac by a reliable case manufacturer and 3D Artist Respective Render Man Ian Zelbo. The renders show some significant changes to the design and features of Apple’s flagship smartphone, which is expected to launch later this year.

We’re still six months away from the official announcement of the next generation iPhone. Still, there are a lot of iPhone 15 rumors floating around the web. This time, a new report corroborates previous rumors about the iPhone 15 Pro models featuring a new design with thinner bezels.

The iPhone 15 coming this fall is widely rumored to make the switch to USB-C for the first time. One engineer, however, has taken matters into their own hands and created what might very well be our worst nightmare: a dual-port iPhone with both Lightning and USB-C. Why?

A new rumor suggests Apple could upgrade the display in the high-end iPhone 15 Pro Max this year to be even brighter. Currently, the iPhone 14 Pro Max can reach 2000 nits of peak brightness, but this rumor suggests that peak brightness could increase to 2500 nits this year…

An analyst report points to likely iPhone 15 Wi-Fi 6E support this year – giving at least some of this year’s iPhones access to a whole new frequency band.

If accurate, that would mean increased capacity, reduced interference, and better video streaming performance …

The iPhone 15 lineup is expected to be released this fall, and as we slowly approach that release, more rumors on what to expect will begin to leak. Today, a new rumor claims that the iPhone 15 devices will match the iPhone 14 lineup in screen sizes. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max (or iPhone 15 Ultra), however, will feature “thinner bezels” than before and “beautiful” curved edges.
