iPhone 15 series will sport a design similar to the iPhone 14 only without a notch this time.
Apple fans are eagerly waiting for the next iteration of company’s flagship phone- iPhone 15. As with any other highly anticipated phones, rumours have been swirling about what features and upgrades could iPhone 15 bring to the table. Some of the most talked-about possibilities include a USB-C port, A16 chipset, and a no notch display.
While these are only rumours and should not be taken seriously until there’s an official confirmation, Apple is expected to make some serious changes to its upcoming lineup of phones this time. The company didn’t make many changes in the current flagship series including use of same processor in the non-Pro models of iPhone 14 and no serious camera upgrades. With iPhone 15, these are the changes that are rumoured to come. Take a look.
iPhone 15 design
It is rumoured that the entire iPhone 15 series will sport a design similar to the iPhone 14 only without a notch this time. Dynamic Island which was exclusive to the Pro models in iPhone 14 is expected to arrive on all the iPhone 15 models.
Apple could unveil four models under the iPhone 15 lineup- a 6.1-inch iPhone 15, a 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro, a 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Max, and lastly 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max. Following the current trend, iPhone 15 will also have expensive Pro models equipped with more powerful features than the standard iPhone 15 models.

iPhone 15 to have USB-C support
According to a leaker named ShrimpApplePro, iPhone 15 will support only Apple Made for iPhone (MFi) program- certified USB-C accessories. The non-certified charging accessories will have limited data and charging speed. The Apple-certified USB-C cables will help fast charge the iPhone.

iPhone 15 processor
Apple will most likely use the Qualcomm’s 5G modem chips for iPhone 15 lineup. There were rumours suggesting that Apple could use its own in-house modem chips in the upcoming iPhones but the technology won’t be ready until 2024.
Rumours also have it that Phone 15 Pro models could be the first to feature an A-series chip built on Apple supplier TSMC’s next-generation 3-nanometer technology but it could be exclusive to the Pro models. The standard ones could be powered by the 4-nanometer A16 chip which is found inside iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.
