Apple is expected to unveil its iPhone 15 lineup in September. As always, many new features for my model have been rumoured IPhone 15 Pro And iPhone 15 Pro Max, including a USB-C port, A17 Bionic chip, titanium frame, action button, and more. Below, in this article, we mention to you 12 new features and changes that are rumored to come in the iPhone 15 Pro models.


A17 Bionic chip

It is expected that the iPhone 15 Pro models will be equipped with the next-generation Apple A17 Bionic chip, with a manufacturing accuracy of 3 nanometers to improve performance and efficiency. It is expected that all of the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus contain an improved A16 Bionic chip.

The A17 Bionic chip is expected to deliver a 35% improvement in energy efficiency compared to the A16 Bionic chip used in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max with 5nm technology.


Titanium frame

Like the Apple Watch Ultra, the iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to have a titanium frame instead of stainless steel. This makes it stronger and lighter than the current stainless steel frame used in the iPhone 14 Pro series. And the titanium frame will also be more resistant to scratches and corrosion.


Ultra thin bezels

Similar to the recent Apple Watch models, it is rumored that the iPhone 15 Pro will have very thin curved edges around the screen. The bezels around the screen will be reduced to approximately 1.5mm, compared to the current 2.2mm. These changes will make the iPhone 15 Pro more elegant, but that may be reflected in the price.


USB-C port

iPhone 15 Pro models will feature a USB-C port with at least USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 support, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, which could lead to much faster data transfer speeds compared to using the current Lightning cable. Kuo said that the USB-C port on standard iPhone 15 models will still be limited to USB 2.0 speeds such as Lightning.


Wi-Fi 6E technology

Like the latest Mac and iPad Pro, the iPhone 15 Pro will support Wi-Fi 6E technology for faster wireless speeds, according to a leaked chart. This means that Wi-Fi 6E delivers faster speeds, lower latency and less interference, provides more available channels, and operates in the 6GHz frequency band compared to Wi-Fi 6 which only works on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

Wi-Fi 6E also has the greater ability to handle more devices at once, which makes it especially useful for environments with a high concentration of Wi-Fi devices, such as crowded urban areas, stadiums, airports, and other densely populated locations.

To take advantage of Wi-Fi 6E, you'll need routers and hardware that support this new standard.


Increase RAM

iPhone 15 Pro models will be equipped with 8GB of RAM, while standard models like the iPhone 6 will likely stick to 14GB. The extra RAM could allow apps like Safari to keep more content. active in the background, which prevents the app from reloading content when you reopen it.


Action button

It is also rumored that the iPhone 15 Pro models are equipped with a customizable action button, like the Apple Watch Ultra. The button will replace the current silent switch. Users will likely be able to assign the button to various system functions, such as silent, do not disturb, scout, low power mode, and more.


Increase the optical zoom of the iPhone 15 Pro Max

The iPhone 15 Pro Max will contain a periscope telephoto lens, or what is known as a periscope. The optical zoom may reach from 5x to 6x, compared to 3x in the iPhone 14 Pro models. This means that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be able to take more detailed and clear pictures from long distances, without losing image quality or the need for digital zoom.


Ultra-Wideband improvements

iPhone 15 models will likely contain an upgraded Ultra Wideband chip, currently called the U1 chip, to improve integration with Apple Vision Pro. This new chip could also provide improved performance or reduced power consumption for location-based functions such as AirDrop and Precision Finding in the Find My app.

Ultra-Wideband technology is a technology for transmitting data over a very wide bandwidth greater than 500MHz, using short-range radio waves. This technology enables positioning and direction to be determined with very high accuracy, as it can measure the time of travel of a radio wave between two different devices. It is used in various fields, such as tracking things, opening cars and homes, and electronic payment.


Improvements to the LiDAR scanner

iPhone 15 Pro models will feature a more energy-efficient LiDAR scanner provided by Sony, which can improve XNUMXD depth scanning performance for virtual and augmented reality apps, night mode photos, auto focus, and more.


More repairable design

Following in the footsteps of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to have a much more repairable and easier design. This change would result in an easily removable back glass.


eSIM only in more countries

 Apple first removed the physical SIM card tray from iPhone 14 models in the US last year. iPhone 15 Pro models without a SIM card tray could be launched in France this year and possibly in other European countries. In Apple's ongoing plan for the iPhone without outlets in the future.

More than a month separates us until the date of the disclosure of the iPhone 15 lineup, and other rumors may appear that talk about additional features and technologies, and perhaps the hidden death was greater.

What do you think of these rumored technologies for the iPhone 15 Pro? And which one are you most interested in? Tell us in the comments.
