iPhone 15 rumors make people stir

Remove the Lightening Gate

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will probably remove the Lightning charging port and replace it with a USB-C port on the iPhone 15 in 2023. This will help improve transfer and charging speeds on the iPhone, as well as bring much more convenient for users.

This information is predicted by Mr. Kuo based on supply chain surveys, according to which many Apple suppliers are ordering a lot of USB-C chips and port components.

Although it is still possible that Apple will completely remove the ports and replace it with MagSafe wireless charging technology, in the face of pressure from the EU to use USB-C ports for electronic devices to reduce garbage. e-waste is unlikely to happen.

Using 5G modem chip

Apple is expected to produce its own 5G chips for iPhones in 2023, instead of using Qualcomm chips.

It is too early to say what advantages Apple’s 5G modem chip will bring over the Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 chip that Apple is currently using. However, this will save Apple a lot of money, which in turn allows the company to add other improvements to the new product.

It is expected that this year’s iPhone 14 will be upgraded to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X65 chip, but if the reports are accurate, we will never see the Snapdragon X70 used on the iPhone.

Camera equipped with periscope lens

According to analyst Jeff Pu of Haitong International Securities, the iPhone 15 will be equipped with a periscope lens. This is not the first time news of a major camera upgrade for the new iPhone. Previously, very reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also predicted the periscope camera on the iPhone 15 launched in 2023.

Periscope lenses have been around on many Android smartphones for years, so Apple is a bit late in the game. However, if rumors are to be believed, the iPhone will push beyond the 3x zoom barrier, making better use of the many 48MP main cameras expected on this year’s iPhone 14.

Design

It is almost certain that Apple will get rid of the 5.4-inch iPhone mini, replacing it with the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max. Since Apple rarely makes significant changes to its product line in just one year, that is also expected to be the product line criteria for 2023.

That means Apple can launch iPhone 15″ and 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Max and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Also, while rumors suggest that the iPhone 14 Pro will place the Face ID module in the pill-shaped cutout and the selfie camera in the punch-hole, the iPhone 15 Pro is said to have only one hole for the front camera, with Face ID hidden under the screen.
