iPhone 15 Non-Pro Models Likely to Get Dynamic Island; Leaked Front Panel Hints Thinner Bezels on Pro Models

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 15 series later this year. The lineup will most likely include four models — the base iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This time, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to sport the ‘Ultra’ moniker. There have been multiple leaks and reports surrounding the upcoming devices. One such recent leak has suggested details around the display on the base iPhone 15 and the Pro models. A tipster has posted a video, showcasing purported front glass panels of the soon-to-be-released iPhone models.

Tipster ShrimpApplePro tweeted a video showing a set of front glass panels that will reportedly be used on the upcoming iPhone series, set to be released later this year. The tipster claimed the leak’s authenticity had been verified from a source.

The video shows three glass panels that correspond to our expectations for the iPhone 15 lineup. The iPhone 15 Pro seems to be in the leftmost panel in the video. It has the same display size and Dynamic Island as the iPhone 14 Pro, but with significantly thinner bezels.

The middle glass is the biggest of the three, suggesting it could be the front glass of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It features the identical Dynamic Island at the top, and the larger display area highlights the thinner bezels even more. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max display will most probably appear more immersive than that of any iPhone screens released to date.

The final panel shown in the video is distinguished by a noticeably thicker bezel, which is also seen in the base iPhone 14 series. The panel, likely to be the one on the base iPhone 15, also includes the Dynamic Island. The feature on non-Pro models will be an upgrade from its predecessors. The Phone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus feature a traditional notch housing the front camera and sensors.

The tipster had also earlier suggested that the upcoming iPhone models would only support USB Type-C accessories accredited by Apple’s Made for iPhone (MFi) programme. They asserted that Apple could restrict charging speed and other performance characteristics of unsupported cables. According to the source in the report, iPhone manufacturer Foxconn has begun mass production of accessories such as EarPods and cables.

iPhone 15 Pro Could Launch in Dark Red Colour Option; iPhone 15 May Arrive in Pink, Light Blue Colours: Report

iPhone 14 series was launch in September last year as the company’s latest series of smartphones. This year, the Cupertino, California-based tech giant is expected to follow up the iPhone 14 lineup, with the purported iPhone 15 models sometime in September. The colour options for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models have been tipped months ahead of their debut. New colour options will be added across the lineup, which currently includes vanilla and Plus models, a Pro variant, and a Pro Max variant.

According to a report by 9to5Mac, Apple is expected to keep up its tradition of offering its vanilla variant iPhone in bright colour options with the iPhone 15 series. The vanilla iPhone 15 is expected to be available in Dark Pink, and Light Blue colour options. The publication also shared self-generated render images of the vanilla iPhone 15 in new Pink and Light Blue colour options.

The report adds that the two new colour options for iPhone 15 will be in addition to three standard colour options that could include Black, White, and Red. However, there’s no word from Apple on plans to add new colour options for the iPhone 15 series.

As per the report, Apple will also continue to launch special colour editions on its Pro model iPhone this year. The report claims that the iPhone 15 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max/Ultra models could arrive in a brand new Dark Red colour option. This colourway is expected to arrive in a titanium finish.

The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have been tipped in the past to feature curved edges and thinner bezels around its’ displays. Earlier reports had suggested that screen sizes on different iPhone 15 series models would match that of the iPhone 14 series’ corresponding models. The noticeably thinner bezels and curved edges are expected to give the iPhone 15 Pro models an Apple Watch-like design.

However, it is important to note that Apple has not provided any official indication, or confirmation regarding the design, or look of its’ upcoming iPhone series, including the purported iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro handsets.

iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus Tipped To Sport Redesigned Camera Bump: Report

iPhone 15 series is expected to be launched sometimes this year. Apple is reportedly working on a few aesthetic design changes on the upcoming iPhone series. The flagship smartphone lineup is expected to rival major competitor Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series that has already been announced. Although the announcement is atleast six months away, a latest rumour around the purported iPhone 15, and iPhone 15 Plus suggests that the handsets could feature a rounded back, and a redesigned camera bump design.

According to tipster ShrimpApplePro (@VNchocoTaco), commenting on an Apple Hub tweet teasing features of upcoming lineup, the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus could feature a redesigned camera bump on the rear. The tipster hasn’t revealed further information about the camera setup.

The Apple Hub tweet, on the other hand, suggested some key specifications that could be expected on the iPhone 15 lineup. The specifications tipped around the vanilla iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus include that the smartphones could feature 6.1-inch, and 6.7-inch display screens, respectively. The displays are also expected to get a new dynamic island design featuring 2.5D glass.

In terms of optics, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are expected to feature a 48-megapixel wide camera, while being powered by an A16 chip with 6GB of RAM and USB Type-C port which support the same lightning speeds as the iPhone 14 models.

Meanwhile, the tipster also goes on to suggest that the iPhone 15 Pro could receive a 6.1-inch display, similar to the iPhone 15 in terms of size. The top-end iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to get a 6.7-inch screen like the iPhone 15 Plus, in terms of size.

It was previously reported Apple could potentially use up to 2,500 of brightness in the iPhone 15 Ultra. The ‘Ultra’ model in the iPhone 15 lineup will reportedly replace the top-of-the-line Pro Max model.

iPhone 15 Ultra Tipped to Feature a Display With 2,500 Nits of Brightness

Apple has been rumoured to be working on an ‘Ultra’ model, which may replace the top-of-the-line Pro Max model. This change could be reflected in the iPhone 15 series, which may arrive in 2024. Recent reports have suggested that not only the iPhone 15 Ultra would pack more capabilities, but it would also be priced higher than the ‘Pro’ models. A reliable tipster has now suggested that the iPhone 15 Ultra might offer a significant improvement in terms of display brightness when compared to the current top-of-the-line iPhone model — the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

According to a tweet by tipster ShrimpApplePro (Twitter: @VNchocoTaco), Apple could potentially use Samsung’s next-gen display capable of up to 2,500 of brightness in the iPhone 15 Ultra. This change would be a significant improvement over the 2,000 nits of peak brightness offered in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

It is believed that the Cupertino company is looking at more ways to differentiate the 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch iPhone models. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg suggests that Apple is having internal discussions about releasing a new iPhone model in 2024.

This rumoured model could be a higher-end device than the currently available ‘Pro’ models. Furthermore, it might even cost more than the current iPhone 14 Pro Max. Gurman believes that the iPhone 15 Ultra might offer even better camera improvements than what is already planned for the iPhone 15 lineup.

Other stand-out features might include an even bigger display than the 6.7-inch iPhone Pro models. The iPhone 15 Ultra might even come with a faster processor as well. Apple might also ditch the lightning or USB Type-C port and offer only wireless charging support. However, currently, these are all just speculations and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

All iPhone 15 Models to Get Apple’s Dynamic Island, iPhone 15 Pro May Sport Titanium Frame: Gurman

Apple is expected to offer the Dynamic Island feature that made its debut on its current generation iPhone 14 Pro on all four iPhone 15 models. This feature is designed to make the best use of the space that was being wasted around the notch on the front that houses the TrueDepth sensor. Dynamic Island can showcase notifications and can be used to manage music streaming, among other tasks, once apps add support for the feature. It was introduced with the iPhone 14 series, but was limited to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models.

Mark Gurman suggests in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter that all four iPhone 15 series models will sport Apple’s Dynamic Island. There will reportedly be no change in the screen sizes of these handsets from the current generation models. The iPhone 15 series will also come with a USB Type-C port in compliance with the EU common charger legislation.

The Cupertino company is said to have also replaced the stainless-steel frame with a titanium one on the Pro models. These phones are expected to be powered by a chipset that faster than the Apple A16 that powers the current-generation Pro models. A recent report suggests that the purported Apple A17 chipset may use TSMC’s 3nm process for up to 35 more energy efficiency.

Gurman claims that Apple has poured most of its resources into getting its mixed-reality headset launch-ready for a possible unveiling during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. As a result, the software department is reportedly prioritising the headset’s own xrOS operating system. Apple is believed to have several hardware and software kinks to work out on this headset.

This reallocation of resources has reportedly cost iOS 17 a few new features as well, according to Gurman. Codenamed Dawn, this new operating system could now offer only a few major changes; iPadOS 17 and macOS 14 could also suffer the same fate.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max Could Be Renamed to iPhone 15 Ultra: Mark Gurman

iPhone 14 series has four models — iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, this nomenclature may change from next year onwards. Two industry analysts have suggested that Apple may rename the top-of-the-line iPhone 15, which is presumed to carry iPhone 15 Pro Max moniker, as iPhone 15 Ultra. While one says renaming “would better match Apple’s newest naming strategy”, other says it could help the Cupertino-based company to “increase Pro shipment allocation and the new iPhone ASP.”

The first mention of the iPhone 15 Ultra was last week after Apple launched the iPhone 14 series. Analyst Mark Gurman said that it would make sense for Apple to eventually rename its top-end phone from “Pro Max” to “Ultra.” He suggested that renaming would be a lot simpler and “would better match Apple’s newest naming strategy” as reported in the company’s M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra Mac chips.

A day later, another noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo tweeted saying that he believes Apple will create more differentiation between iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 standard models “to increase Pro shipment allocation and the new iPhone ASP.”

“Taking a step further, Apple will also start creating differentiation between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 15 Pro. It’s the best practice via a precise product segmentation strategy to generate more sales/profits in a mature market,” Ming-Chi Kuo tweeted. By “start creating differentiation”, Kuo might have implied that Apple might start offering exclusive features in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

It is to be noted that Apple currently segregates its phones as non-pro and Pro iPhone models. While this year’s Pro models got a design change on the front and in the cameras, the non-Pro models come with iterative upgrades over the iPhone 13 series.

Apple AR Glass Enters Design Development Stage to Debut in 2024: Report

Apple’s anticipated augmented reality (AR) glasses have entered the design development stage and will reach prototype level by the end of this year, a market research analyst has said in a note. The glasses, which are rumoured to be called the Apple AR Glass, are said to debut sometime in 2024. The analyst has also speculated whether one or two models of the iPhone 15 Pro would come with a periscope lens. The presence of the periscope lens is expected to help deliver an enhanced camera experience.

Haitong International Securities Tech Research Analyst Jeff Pu said that the prototype of the AR glasses by Apple would be ready by the end of this year, 9to5Mac reports.

The analyst has reportedly mentioned that Corning and Hoya were sampling the glass, while the glasses themselves are said to adopt the waveguide technology.

It is important to point out that the Apple AR Glass in question is expected to be a different product altogether over the rumoured mixed reality headset that is also speculated to launch as early as next year.

Last week, Pu suggested that Apple’s AR glasses would be unveiled in the second half of 2024.

Pu is also said to have questioned reports suggesting the periscope lens on the iPhone 15 Pro in the latest note. The analyst said that it wasn’t clear whether all the iPhone 15 Pro models would come with the periscope lens.

“We continue seeing a very high chance of the periscope’s adoption, with Lante being the major supplier,” the analyst said.

It is likely that the iPhone 15 Pro Max would be the model to carry the periscope lens, while it would not be available on the regular iPhone 15 Pro.

Previous reports suggested that the iPhone 15 series would come with a USB Type-C port instead of a Lightning connector. There could also be an under-display camera with Face ID.
