Revolutionary Upgrades Coming to the iPhone 15 Lineup
With the highly anticipated release of the iPhone 15 this fall, Apple is set to introduce a number of major upgrades that could revolutionize the smartphone industry.[0] Chief among these upgrades is the transition to a USB-C port, replacing the Lightning port that has been used since 2012. This switch is being mandated by the European Union, who has put laws in place to make USB-C the new charging standard on portable devices sold in Europe.[1]
The iPhone 15 Pro is also set to feature a titanium frame, special dark red color (hex code #410D0D), and Dynamic Island design. It is also speculated that the titanium frame will be used on the standard iPhone 15, as well as the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The iPhone 15 Plus and Pro Max models are also expected to feature bigger displays, 6.3 and 6.8 inches respectively.[2]
In addition to the USB-C port and the new design, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are rumored to be offered in two new shades: light blue and pink.[3] Apple will likely name these colors something exciting for the marketing department.[4]
While we don’t know for sure what Apple has in store for the iPhone 15, the rumor mill is churning out more information every day.[5] We can expect more details to be revealed as we get closer to the announcement and release of the iPhone 15 lineup.
