Rumors indicate that Apple's new device will be in stores in a few months. Find out more!
Apple has already set a date for the announcement of the new iPhone 15 lineup, on September 13. According to sources from the 9to5Mac portal, US carriers have also asked their employees not to take vacations or days off on this day, which may be related to the event.
It's still unclear when Apple will announce the new phones, as there's no official announcement from the company, only rumors. There are also reports of possible delays in the product's release. According to Wamsi Mohan, an analyst at Bank of America, the launch won't happen until October. Read on to find out more.
Apple is following a specific release schedule. If the dates are correct, pre-orders will begin on September 15, followed by a sale a week later on September 22. In comparison, the iPhone 14 series launched on September 7 and the iPhone 13 series launched on September 14.
What to expect from the iPhone 15
If Apple follows tradition, four iPhone models are expected to be announced this year: the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. One of the big innovations expected in the new phones is the replacement of the company's own standard Lightning connector with the universal USB Type-C. This is a measure defined by the European Union for new electronic products and should also be extended to other countries.
Apple is also rumored to use a titanium frame instead of stainless steel to reduce the bezel around the phone's display. The company is also expected to include the A16 Bionic chip in the standard model this year, while the Pro version could offer the new A17.
There are rumors that Apple could also activate silent mode by replacing the “switch” on the side with a button. This new scheme allows you to use several shortcuts, for example.
iPhone 16
However, rumors of the next iPhone coming out in 2024 are already so active that analysts are thinking it could affect the iPhone 15 launch this year.
Expert Ming-Chi Kuo reports that demand for the iPhone 15 may be lower than the iPhone 14 in a recent article published on Medium.
The iPhone 15 already faced great obstacles Even before its launch, and as undecided users start reading about the iPhone 16, they may decide to wait for the new version. Rumors about the 16 model indicate significant improvements that could make this one of the most desired devices in recent years from Apple. This should have a big impact on interest in the iPhone 15.
New specifications
There are reasons why the model would seriously beat the iPhone 15. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to be equipped with a specific telephoto lens already known in the brand's models. However, there are expectations that the company will expand its new telephoto camera next year with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and increase the focal length to around 300mm compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which will be 150mm.
There are also rumors that Apple is working on under-display Face ID technology for the iPhone 16, reducing the space occupied by the camera notch to a small circle. This, coupled with thinner bezels, could result in a smartphone with nearly 100% of screen.
These potential features make the upcoming iPhone 16 one of the most desired smartphones and could have a significant impact on the popularity and sales of the iPhone 15.
Coupled with the fact that iPhone sales have declined in the last fiscal quarter (perhaps due to high prices from the global crisis), the new iPhone 15 will face some major challenges in the coming months.
