Apple event latest updates: How big will Apple iPhone 15 series screens be?
With the new iPhone 15 launching at the Apple event in September, it is expected that all variants' displays will feature dynamic island just like the iPhone 14 Pro model. According to an iMore report, it is rumoured that the smartphones might come with always-on display or 120Hz refresh rate.
If the iPhone 15 continues the trend of the iPhone 14 series, then it is expected that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro might feature a 6.1-inch display, whereas the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Plus can come in a 6.7-inch display size. It is also likely that the upcoming smartphone will feature OLED panels.
Earlier, a leak by Ice Universe was shared on X (formerly Twitter) that said all the new iPhones may have slimmer bezels than their predecessors. In terms of the iPhone 15 base model, they are also expected to have sleek edges.
Apple event 2023 tomorrow: Will iPhone 15 get a physical SIM card slot?
eSIMs are stored on a chip that is integrated into the smartphone's motherboard. On the other hand, physical SIMs are cards that need to be inserted into the SIM slot in order to use voice calling and data services. According to an X post by user @MajinBu, the iPhone 15 will retain the physical SIM slot, but instead of being integrated into the logic board, it is now tethered to the USB Type-C port of the smartphone!
Sharing images of iPhone 15's SIM slot and USB Type-C port components, the user highlighted that the SIM slot's connector is integrated with the tail plug cable, and no encryption was found on the chip. While this change does not spell any changes to how the SIM works for iPhone users, it could make repairs easier. Since it is not connected to the logic board any more, changing a damaged SIM slot would only require swapping the USB Type-C port.
Apple event 2023: Apple is already working on A19 Bionic chipset
A user @_orangera1n posted on X (via Wccftech), “It appears that Apple has started work on the A19 and M5 Pro/Max/Ultra SOCs,” while sharing a snapshot of CPU IDs of various Apple processors. For the unaware, A17 Bionic SoC is expected to power the iPhone 17 series, which isn't to launch at least until 2025. The A16 Bionic, which powers the current iPhone 14 Pro models, features 16 billion transistors. With the 3nm A17 Bionic, Apple is expected to bump up those numbers.
As per the report, the A19 Bionic would be the first Apple processor to be manufactured on a 2nm process. In theory, it would allow for faster performance while also improving power efficiency, owing to smaller-sized transistors, allowing Apple to fit in more transistors inside each die. Since it hints at the A19 Bionic being in development, it would mean that the work on the A18 Bionic, the chip that will power the iPhone 16 series, is completed or nearing completion.
Alongside the A19 Bionic, the report claims that Apple is also developing the M5 chip for its range of Macs. The Cupertino-based tech giant is expected to reveal its first Macs powered by the M3 SoC, meaning that we could see M5-powered devices come out around the same time as the iPhone 17 launch.
iPhone 15 event: Apple may not release a leather case this time
The latest report reveals that Apple won't provide any leather cases for iPhone 15 series. The iPhone leather case is something that many people prefer to safeguard their handset from damage and it gives it an added premium look.
According to a report by 9to5Mac, Apple will not release leather cases this year. The rumor was first shared by DuaNRui on the platform X. His post said, “I've heard that Apple won't be releasing a Leather Case for the iPhone 15 series.”
One reason for this change might be environmental concerns. Apple is seriously looking at reducing its carbon footprint and is manufacturing its products in as environmentally friendly a way as possible. Now, leather cases are not really very ecological and Apple could target a reduction in its Carbon footprint by not selling leather cases. Apple does want to be known as an environment-friendly brand.
Of course, one other possible explanation may well be that Apple could be looking at introducing a new premium case material this year in place of leather.
Apple event tomorrow: What's new for Apple Watch Series 9?
With the Apple Watch Ultra 2 unlikely to make an appearance this year, the Apple Watch Series 9 is believed to largely come with iterative updates. The biggest update for the smartwatch is likely to be in the processor department. It is rumored that the S9 chipset for the upcoming Apple Watch will be built on the same technology as the A15 chip. This can result in improved performance, better battery life, and faster load times. One leak has suggested that the Apple Watch Series 9 can be launched in a light pink colorway.
Some more obscure leaks have also stated that some of the Apple Watch Ultra features may get handed down to the Apple Watch Series 9. Apple is reportedly also working on adding a blood glucose monitor and blood pressure sensor for the Apple Watch, but it is unclear whether they will be introduced this year or the next.
Apple event 2023 tomorrow: New upgrades expected for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max
This year, the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max may get a titanium frame, that is intended to make the smartphones lighter and stronger. Additionally, they are expected to get thinner bezels and a slightly more curved display. The Pro models can also feature a programmable Action button, that is touted to replace the ‘mute switch'. Additionally, they can also feature the USB Type-C charging port, but with faster charging speeds compared to the non-Pro models.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is also expected to get a periscope zoom lens that can allow 5x to 6x optical zoom - some have even hinted at 10x. However, this upgrade will not be available for the iPhone 15 Pro model this year.
Both the Pro models are expected to get the Apple A17 Bionic SoC, which will now feature 3nm chipset technology. TSMC is making these chipsets exclusively for Apple, as per a leak.
Some reports have claimed that the prices for the Pro models can be hiked this year. The iPhone 15 Pro can start from $1,099 while the iPhone 15 Pro Max can start from $1199 or $1299.
Apple event latest: Expected iPhone 15 Pro Max price in India
The first time we heard about a price hike for the iPhone 15 Pro Max was in July when a Bloomberg report mentioned that both the Pro models would see a higher price tag than their predecessors. Jeff Pu, a Hong Kong-based analyst, also claimed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will get more expensive to buy.
According to Pu, as reported by MacRumors, the iPhone 15 Pro Max can see a hike by $100 making its starting price go up from $1099 to $1199 this year. However, a subsequent report by Taiwan-based DigiTimes stated that the iPhone 15 Pro Max could start between $1199 and $1299, which means the price hike can be as much as $200. This report also mentioned that there is a possibility that the Pro Max this year will start at 256GB storage, ditching its 128GB variant.
Apple event latest development: iPhone 14 Pro Max delay?
A new leak has revealed a disappointing development that may leave some fans upset. The iPhone 15 Pro Max may get a delayed launch, owing to supply chain issues.
According to a report by 9to5Mac, there is a big possibility that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will not be ready to be shipped in time for its on-sale date. This is due to its camera part supplier Sony struggling to provide the image sensors for the smartphone's camera in time, as per a major equity analyst note viewed by a 9to5Mac source.
However, this is not expected to impact the Apple event or the unveiling of the iPhone 15 series, which will occur as per schedule. As a result, while the other three iPhone 15 models are likely to be launched as expected, only the iPhone 15 Pro Max will hit the market late.
Apple event 2023 tomorrow: What can next year's iPhone 16 showcase?
With the iPhone 16 series, we could see major size changes. The Pro version of the 2024 series may get a larger screen size of 6.3-inch and the iPhone 16 Pro Max 6.9-inch, according to a Tom's Guide report. Mark Gurman has also reported that the iPhone 16 will be the largest iPhone. Additionally, it may also see an upgrade with a MicroLED display. The Pro model is rumored to feature an A18 Bionic chipset with 5G modem chips.
In terms of cameras, the iPhone 16 Pro Max might feature a 48MP main camera along with a 12MP ultrawide camera. Further, it may also feature a super telephoto periscope camera.
iPhone 16 is expected to feature 40W wired charging and 20W MagSafe charging, as per a MacRumors report. The smartphone may also feature ProMotion technology with a 120Hz refresh rate. The charging port is not yet confirmed for both upcoming smartphones, iPhone 15 and iPhone 16. But it is rumoured that the iPhone 15 series may feature a USB-C port and it was also reported that iPhone 14 standard version may also get an upgrade from Lightning charge to USB-C charging.
iPhone 15 event: Leak reveals mysterious chip in iPhone 15 USB-C port
A concerning new development was spotted by a tipster who clicked pictures of the USB-C port that is going to be slapped on the iPhone 15 and found a mysterious extra chip within it. And if it is what many are expecting, things may not be all sunshine and rainbows for fans.
The leaked images were shared by X user Majin Bu. One of the images showed a strange chip within the port upon which the serial ‘3LD3' has been stamped. Experts are now wondering whether this chip has been placed in the port to throttle transmission speeds. What it means is if non-proprietary or third-party connectors or cables are used with the port, the chip will use transmission encryption technology to curtail charging speed and data transfer speed. This could be a way for Apple to push consumers to buy only Apple accessories.
Apple event September 12: A17 Bionic chipset on iPhone 15 Pro models may spring massive surprise
A new leak has surfaced which suggests that the A17 Bionic chipset, which is expected to be equipped in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models, has performed above expectations in Geekbench scores in both single-core and multicore metrics. If the leaks are to be believed, then the buyers are in for a massive treat as it will make the Apple smartphones the most powerful phone for quite a long time.
The information comes from Tech creator Naveen Tech Wala who posted what he alleges is the performance score for the A17 Bionic chipset fitted in the iPhone 15 Pro. As per the benchmark test, the 3nm processor scored 3269 on single-core performance and 7666 on multicore performance. The image shared by him also comes with details that the test was done for the A17 Bionic in the iPhone 15 Pro smartphone which has 6 cores and a processor frequency of 3700 MHz.
Apple event 2023 tomorrow: Expected iPhone 15 Pro price in India
As anticipation builds for the imminent launch of the iPhone 15 range, rumors surrounding the devices are becoming more intense. Among the most significant points of discussion is the price, particularly for the Pro models. According to reputable sources, including Barclays analyst Tim Long (via iMore), it's expected that the iPhone 15 Pro will be $100 more expensive than its predecessor, which can take the starting price to $1099.
Undeniably, this price adjustment could make it more difficult for certain buyers to afford the latest Pro models, potentially turning away some customers who would have eagerly lined up for the newest iPhone.
As the launch date of the new iPhone range draws closer, slated for September, we will soon discover the exact specifications and prices of the handsets. While the price increase may be disappointing for some, the forthcoming features and advancements in technology could provide ample justification for the additional investment.
Apple event 2023: Leak claims Apple is testing 150W USB-C cable for iPhone 15 Pro
Quoting an X post by user Majin Bu on August 24, we reported that Apple's USB Type-C cables for the standard iPhone 15 would only be 2.0 certified, and it could result in slower charging times and data transfer speeds. However, this move might only affect the vanilla models as the user's latest leak claims that Apple is reserving a Thunderbolt USB Type-C cable only for the iPhone 15 models. In an X post, the user wrote, “Looks like Apple has actually tested a Thunderbolt cable for the iPhone 15 Pro and it will probably be released exclusively for the Pro models.”
As per the leak, the Thunderbolt cable would be 70cm long and could offer a power output of up to 150W. However, it is unlikely that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max would feature such outrageous charging capabilities. The leaker further claimed that the braided USB Type-C cable would be based on USB 4 gen 2 and could even support 4K 60Hz output.
Apple event 2023 latest updates: New camera feature for the iPhone 15 Pro Max
At present, Apple's high-end iPhone models, the Pro and Pro Max, feature similar internals. With the same processor, camera system, and other features, the only difference between these devices is the screen size. While the Pro variant gets a 6.1-inch display, the Pro Max sports a bigger 6.7-inch panel.
However, this is set to change with the iPhone 15 series. Apple's top-end iPhone, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is due to receive major upgrades that could set it apart from the smaller iPhone 15 Pro. One of the major changes is expected to be in terms of the camera. While the iPhone 15 Pro is tipped to feature an improved camera system over its predecessor, the iPhone 15 Pro Max could feature a different camera technology altogether - a periscope lens.
This new camera could potentially offer up to 5X-6X zooming capabilities. On the other hand, a handful of rumors have also predicted it to get anything between 5x to 10X zooming capabilities. If it goes into double figures, it could put it on par with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

iPhone 15 event on September 12: The iPhone 15 Pro models can get a battery boost
Over the years, iPhones have become bigger and heavier to accommodate larger batteries to provide enough fuel to sustain high-demanding hardware. However, this year, the iPhones are likely lighter in weight yet they have not compromised on their battery performance. As per a report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the expected titanium frame for the Pro models will result in about a 10 percent reduction in weight. However, the new 3nm A17 Bionic chipset is expected to offer such a remarkable performance optimization that it increases the battery life significantly.
The combination of these two factors can make the iPhone 15 Pro models a lucrative proposition for those who prefer their smartphones to be lightweight but do not want a compromise on the battery life. But this is not all that the Pro models might be featuring this year.
The Pro models can also feature a programmable Action button, that is touted to replace the ‘mute switch'. Additionally, they can also feature the USB Type-C charging port, but with faster charging speeds compared to the non-Pro models. Further, they are expected to get thinner bezels and a slightly more curved display.
Apple event tomorrow: Expected iPhone 15 price
Despite a number of new features expected to come to the iPhone 15, there are no leaks pointing towards a price hike. This year, some tipsters have claimed that the prices for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max can see an increase between $100 to $200, but a similar trend for the standard model is not expected. As things stand, the iPhone 15 should be available for $799.
According to leaks, the upcoming iPhone 15 models are anticipated to receive significant enhancements this year. The feature known as Dynamic Island, first introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro models, is expected to be extended to the entire iPhone 15 lineup. Additionally, it has been reported that Apple is preparing to replace the lightning port with a USB Type-C connector, in compliance with EU regulations. Furthermore, there are speculations that the iPhone 15 may feature a new 48-megapixel stacked CMOS image sensor (CIS). Apart from that, they are also expected to be equipped with the A16 Bionic chipset, although they will miss out on the A17 Bionic chipset, which is being reserved for the Pro models.
Apple 2023 event latest updates: iPhone 15 launch during a smartphone slump?
Apple's launch event could not have come at a worse time as the smartphone industry is experiencing somewhat of a slump as of late. With around six weeks to go, Apple has acknowledged this slowdown, accepting that “the smartphone market has been in a decline for the last couple of quarters in the United States”, according to tipster Mark Gurman.
Apple's iPhone sales slumped by 2.4 percent to $39.7 billion in the last quarter, but Apple would be hoping to entice buyers with its slew of upgrades that it is set to roll out with the iPhone 15 series. Even the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have been tipped for big upgrades such as Dynamic Island and USB Type-C port, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max could feature a new periscope camera.
