It's already the end of July, and according to the past practice of Apple's launch, Apple's iPhone digital series will be released in mid-September. As the release time is approaching, the product information of the iPhone 15 series has been exposed by the major media and supply chain almost, and the accuracy of the news is getting higher and higher. Below I have compiled the news about the iPhone 15 series for you based on the online summary.
The iPhone product line will basically be changed once every two years, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 added the mini series, iPhone 14 cancelled the mini series, added Plus. this year's iPhone 15 will still continue the layout of the iPhone 14 series, respectively, for the 6.1-inch iPhone 15, 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus, 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max. iPhone15 Plus, 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max.
This time the entire iPhone15 lineup has the Soul Island feature, and you don't have to spend an extra two grand to experience the Soul Island. iPhone15's screen size is 6.2 inches, which is slightly larger than its predecessor's 6.1 inches, possibly because of the narrowed bezel and the increased screen-to-body ratio, and the iPhone15 Plus's screen is 6.7-6.8 inches, and the bangs are replaced with the Soul Island. Unfortunately, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are still 60Hz screens.
The 60Hz screen is really lagging behind, and its cost is not much different from 120Hz. I speculate that there is a big reason why Apple is doing this is to intentionally gap with the iPhone Pro series, so that consumers who care about the 120Hz refresh rate will have to go for a higher priced iPhone.
The iPhone 15 series will be replaced with a new USB-C port and there will be no MFi protocol restrictions.That is to say, the iPhone 15 can charge using most of the USB-C port cables on the market, however, the iPhone 15 series charging power is still up to 27W, which is consistent with its predecessor.
It has been basically confirmed that the iPhone 15 Pro series will soon carry the A17 chip on TSMC's 3nm process (N3B), which is the first generation of TSMC's 3nm process that still uses FinFET architecture devices. According to TSMC, compared to the N5 process, the N3 logic density is increased by about 60%, or power consumption is reduced by 30% to 35% at the same speed, and supports the innovative TSMC FINFLEXTM architecture. It is worth mentioning that although only the iPhone 15 Pro series will use the A17 chip, the two standard iPhone 15/15 Plus models have been upgraded to the A16 chip, which is still a performance improvement compared to the A15 chip in the iPhone 14/14 Plus.
Wedbush's analyst Dan Ives, who accurately predicted the average selling price of the iPhone 14 series last year, predicted an upward price adjustment for the iPhone 15 series and said that about 25.015 billion iPhones have not been upgraded in the past four years, and that, despite the significant price increase for the iPhone 15 series, the improvements in the new model will prompt many users to opt for this upgrade.
The average price of the iPhone 15 series will be $925, which is $100 higher than last year, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max priced $200 higher and the top-of-the-line iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB potentially priced at $1,800, making it the most expensive new iPhone ever.
