Apple enthusiasts! Get excited because the Cupertino giant has started gearing up for its iPhone event scheduled for September 13th at 10 AM PT. A series of announcements abound, potentially unveiling the highly anticipated iPhone 15 series and the new additions to the Apple Watch lineup (the Apple Watch 9 series and the Apple Watch Ultra 2).
Furthermore, there are whispers of AirPods with USB-C connectivity and the release of iOS 17. The upcoming iPhone 15 series is poised to deliver a groundbreaking shift, replacing the familiar Lightning port with a USB-C connection across all models.
Notably, the Dynamic Island display cutout is now to grace the entire lineup, not just the Pro models. Leaked details suggest the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models will boast ultimate upgrades, including a 6x periscope zoom camera (Pro Max), titanium frames, and the programmable Action Button.
The Pro flagship iPhones will likely harness the power of a 3nm Apple A17 chipset, enabling substantial performance enhancements and extended battery efficiency. The iPhone new models will sport up to 2TB of built-in storage and display cropped at 6.69-inch and 6.12-inch with thinner bezels.
Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are speculated to introduce a host of modest enhancements, such as new 48MP cameras for improved photography, Dynamic Island cutouts, brighter M12 OLEDs, 4nm A16 silicon, and USB-C ports, bringing a level of consistency to the lineup.
As for pricing and availability, speculations indicate that the iPhone 15 series may start at $799 for the base model, with the Pro models reaching higher price points of $1099 for the iPhone 15 Pro and $1199 for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
