When will Apple iPhone 15 come?

Apple will reveal the iPhone 15 on September 12, 2023, alongside information about when will it come out. The Cupertino-based tech giant is known for launching its new-generation iPhones in the fall of every year.

The iPhone 14 series was launched on September 16 last year, and the iPhone 15 series launch seems to follow the same pattern by launching the new smartphone entry around mid-September.

What will be the Apple iPhone 15 priced at?

Upon the U.S. release of the iPhone 14 series, Apple maintained consistent pricing for the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max, mirroring their predecessors. If Apple remains on this trajectory, the forthcoming iPhone's base model could be pegged at $799. Yet, industry whispers hint at a potential shift. Previous reports indicate a possible $100 increase across the board, potentially setting the starting price at $899 for the upcoming release.

What are Apple iPhone 15 specifications (rumored)?

As mentioned, thanks to various leaks and rumors, nearly everything about the upcoming iPhone 15 is known now. Below are all we know so far about the upcoming iPhone.

---

Design

While the upcoming iPhones may retain a familiar design, buzzworthy alterations are on the horizon. Industry chatter hints at Apple potentially swapping its signature lightning port for a USB Type-C.

Given that iPads and MacBooks already sport the Type-C, this move would mark a full transition for Apple's product line. However, insiders indicate that only genuine Apple Type-C or MFI-certified cables will be compatible with the new iPhones. Another notable shift could be in the realm of physical buttons. Apple is reportedly considering trading the iconic notification slider for a haptic feedback button, granting users the flexibility to tailor its functionality.

Display

The new iPhones are expected to have the same display size across all models as their predecessors. Therefore, we can expect the base iPhone and Plus models to feature a 6.1-inch display, whereas the Pro series iPhones will have a 6.7-inch screen.

Apple might finally eliminate the notch that has been a staple since iPhone X. This year, all iPhones are expected to come with the interactive Dynamic Island introduced on the iPhone 14 Pro series. Unfortunately, the advanced Pro Motion display with a 120Hz refresh rate will still remain exclusive to Pro models.

Performance

Apple is said to be making the world's first 3nm A17 Bionic processor, but it would only be limited to the iPhone Pros and Ultra (rumored). The vanilla and the Plus models will get the A16 Bionic processor, which powered the last year's iPhone 14 Pros. This is Apple's strategy to distinguish the base models from the pro ones.

The distinction between base and Pro models will continue in the RAM and storage. The iPhone Pro models are rumored to come with 8GB RAM, whereas the vanilla iPhones will feature 6GB.

Cameras

Apple introduced a new 48MP sensor on the iPhone 14 Pro lineup, so the company is unlikely to make any changes in the camera department. The iPhone 15 will retain the same dual camera setup as its predecessor.

That said, rumors exist that the Pro models might get Sony's latest imaging sensor. Additionally, the pro models are rumored to come with a new periscope lens that offers up to 10x optical zoom compared to 3x on iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Battery

Lastly, a leak has revealed the battery capacity of all four upcoming iPhone releases. According to it, the vanilla iPhone 15 model will have a 3,877mAh battery. However, there have been reports of this leak being false. Hence, taking this information with a pinch of salt is advised.

That's everything known about the upcoming iPhone 15. Most of these rumors come from trusted sources and industry analysts with excellent track records. Moreover, Apple is quite set in its ways and, therefore, becoming predictable. Hence it's safe to assume that most of this information might be correct.
