New Apple Exclusive Reveals iPhone 15 Release Surprise - Forbes

iPhone 15 Pro features person been leaked by Haitong International Securities expert Jeff Pu, but the existent astonishment is Apple’s monolithic iPhone 15 camera upgrade.

In a probe enactment seen by MacRumors, Pu doubles down connected aggregate upgrades expected for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max (potentially rebranded arsenic ‘Ultra’), each of which we person seen before: titanium chassis with solid-state measurement buttons, 3nm A17 chip, Qualcomm Snapdragon X70 modem, USB-C port and a leap from 6GB to 8GB of RAM.

While it is bully to person a important root backmost leaks we person seen elsewhere, the existent head-turner is Pu’s assertion that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus volition upgrade to a 48-megapixel superior camera similar iPhone 14 Pro models.

Pu states that this volition beryllium a three-staked sensor, similar its Pro predecessors, which is simply a large astonishment fixed its further outgo compared to the long-running 12-megapixel sensors Apple had been using. Pu besides states that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models volition determination to USB-C, an upgrade initially thought to beryllium Pro-only.

But this is wherever the surprises stop, with Pu saying that modular iPhone 15 models volition again person a generation-older chipset (in this case, the A16 of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max), and nary telephoto lens.

Apple has a delicate equilibrium to onslaught this year. The latest terms leak claims that Apple volition not trim iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus prices, contempt underwhelming income of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. Instead, raising request by expanding iPhone 15 Pro and Ultra pricing and truthful the spread betwixt modular and Pro models.

This is risky ploy, and Apple needs to get the worth proposition right. A 48-megapixel sensor and USB-C volition surely beryllium invited for modular iPhone 15 models. But for my money, the plan besides needs to change.
