Apple launched the four-model lineup of the iPhone 14 series last year. For the first time, the Pro high-end model adopted an interactive “Dynamic Island” full-screen design. It is rumored that the new generation of iPhone 15 models that will usher in this fall will be included in the entire series. It means that the “bangs” groove that has been used for many years will be completely abandoned from this year. However, in terms of overall specification configuration, it is reported that it will still adopt a more differentiated layout for the Pro high-end models.
Based on recent rumors from foreign media, there will be at least 6 specification upgrades, which will only be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, including: processor, transmission speed, body material and camera, etc., the key points as follows:
1. A17 chip
First of all, in terms of processors, this year’s iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are two high-end flagships. The chip is expected to be upgraded from the previous generation A16 to A17, which is also produced by TSMC. The difference is that last year’s A16 chip is a four-nanometer process. It was revealed that the A17 chip, which is expected to be limited to high-end models this year, will be produced with a three-nanometer process, and its performance and battery life will be improved compared to the previous generation.
2. 8GB memory
According to the forecast report released by the research TrendForce, the built-in memory of the high-end flagship iPhone 15 Pro model this year will be upgraded from 6GB to 8GB, while the standard version of the iPhone 15 model will still maintain the 6GB configuration. With 8GB memory and A17 chip, it will bring a smoother control experience to high-end models.
3. USB-C transmission speed
In response to the new EU regulations, it is rumored that the transmission port interface at the bottom of the fuselage of the four models of the iPhone 15 series this year is expected to switch from the existing Lightning to USB-C for the first time. However, in terms of transmission speed performance, the news broke that the two high-end models of the iPhone 15 Pro series will have transmission efficiency of at least USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 specifications. Although the other two standard models of iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are expected to be replaced with USB-C ports, they will still maintain the transfer rate of USB 2.0.
4. Periscope lens
The high-end flagship Pro model equipped with three lenses will focus on upgrading the camera specifications this year. It is reported that the periscope optical lens structure will be introduced to improve the shooting performance of the optical telephoto zoom and achieve better image quality. It is reported that the optical zoom performance of the two high-end models of the iPhone 15 Pro series will be increased to more than 6 times (the optical zoom of the iPhone 14 Pro is 3 times).
5. The frame of the fuselage is made of titanium metal
In order to strengthen the drop resistance of the two high-end models of the iPhone 15 Pro series, ShrimpApplePro pointed out that Apple intends to replace the previous stainless steel frame with a titanium frame.
6. Solid state button
In addition to the frame material of the fuselage, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s forecast, the volume keys and power keys on the frame of the two models of the iPhone 15 Pro series will be changed to a new look of solid-state keys to replace the original physical mechanical keys. button. The main difference is that there are tactile engine (Taptic Engine) components on the left and right sides inside the fuselage buttons to provide anti-tactile feedback, bringing a control experience as if pressing a physical button.
