Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 15 series in September next year, as it usually happens when Apple releases new models. The series will include four phones for the first time: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Reports and leaks so far indicate that the iPhone 15 Pro models will include many exclusive features that are not available in the affordable iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus phones.
Here are 9 exclusive features that are expected to be supported by the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models:
1- The new Apple A17 processor offers better performance:
Reports and leaks indicate that Apple will supply the iPhone 15 Pro models with a 3-nanometer (A17 Bionic) processor from Taiwan Chip Corporation (TSMC), which will introduce a faster 5-nanometer processor. Better performance with 35% less power consumption.
According to a report by Nikkei Asia, 2023 may be the second year in a row that only Pro models from the new iPhone range will be equipped with Apple's latest processors. Since Apple is putting its latest A16 processor in the iPhone 14 Pro phones, the processor will be made using the latest TSMC 4nm technology available.
In the base model of the iPhone 14, I installed the older A15 processor that I'm using in the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro models, which will be released in the second half of 2021.
2- The body of the iPhone 15 Pro is made of titanium:
Since the launch of the iPhone 10 in 2017, Apple has used stainless steel for the frames of its phones. However, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and analyst Jeff Bo, leaks indicate that the frames of the iPhone 15 Pro models will be made of titanium, which is stronger and lighter than stainless steel. Titanium has a relatively high hardness compared to stainless steel, which makes it more scratch resistant.
Are these reports correct? This will be the first time Apple has used the Titan in an iPhone since Apple used it in the Apple Watch Ultra last year.
3- The design has very thin curved edges:
Last month, 9To5Mac published leaked 3D drawings of a Chinese phone case manufacturer that revealed some issues with the phone's design, with the main design note being the lack of a (Lightning) connector, which has been replaced by a USB connector. c connection
Other notable design changes are: Curved edges, whether on the glass or the metal frame, the glass flexes slightly toward the edges and the frame itself flexes more than before, closer to the 14-inch and 16-2 -MacBook 0.5-inch Computer Pro and MacBook Air M2, which helps the phone feel more comfortable in the hand than the sharp corners of current Apple phones.
Similar to recent Apple Watch models, the iPhone 15 Pro models will have very thin curved bezels around the screen, according to a leaked ShrimpApplePro Twitter account.
4- A faster USB-C port:
So far, all reports indicate that Apple will replace the charging port (Lightning) on the iPhone 15 with a USB-C port. But it will differentiate between the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max phones with the speed of the latest USB 3.2 standard, which, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, provides data transfer speeds of up to 40 Mbps.
While the base model iPhone 15 includes a USB-C port, it is limited to USB 2.0-like USB speeds. B. Connector (Lightning).
5- Wi-Fi 6E support:
In 2023, all mobile phones will be equipped with a second-generation Qualcomm chip (Snapdragon X70), which supports 5G networks and Wi-Fi, and is the first 5G modem chip that supports artificial intelligence and has faster processing speed and better coverage. Improve energy efficiency.
However, support for faster connections (Wi-Fi 6E) should be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max phones. The latest version of the wireless networking standard (802.11), Wi-Fi 6E provides more bandwidth than Wi-Fi 6, resulting in faster connections, lower latency, and more capacity.
(Wi-Fi 6E) will improve connectivity everywhere, whether at home, on the go, or in densely populated areas and large public places such as airports and stadiums. It also enables higher definition streaming for applications such as video conferencing and virtual reality applications, lower latency for gaming and IoT applications, and faster download speeds.
6- Increase RAM capacity:
According to the Taiwanese research company TrendForce, the iPhone 15 Pro models will come with a larger random access memory (RAM) with a capacity of 8 GB, while the basic iPhone 15 models may come with a random access memory (RAM) with a capacity of 6 GB, as is currently the case with the iPhone 14 phones.
The large amount of RAM makes it easier to multitask on your iPhone by allowing more apps to run simultaneously in the background, which prevents apps from reloading content when you reopen them. Additionally, the 3nm A17 Bionic processor that powers the iPhone 15 Pro models will increase the overall RAM performance.
When the iPhone 15 Pro models come with up to 8GB of storage, this is Apple's first storage increase since the launch of the iPhone 12 Pro in 2020.
7- Replacing the volume buttons with touch buttons:
The look and feel of the iPhone Pro models has remained largely the same over the past few years as the phones have new processors, new image sensors, and sometimes better screens, but the external components of the phone, such as the chassis and volume buttons, have changed since the iPhone 11.Pro has remained largely unchanged. big.
However, recent leaks indicate that the volume control button on my upcoming phone (iPhone 15 Pro) and (iPhone 15 Pro Max) could be a touch button that vibrates when pressed, instead of the separate buttons on the second current iPhone.
Almost 100% sure that the iPhone 15 Pro will LONG Unified Volume button, rather than 2 separate ones.

Tactile buttons can improve water resistance and reduce wear and tear on the device by reducing moving parts, a change in phone design that is expected to increase demand for the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro phones.
8- Camera improvements:
According to a report by Nikkei Asia, Apple will rely on the iPhone 15 camera phone with Sony's new sensor technology to provide a better image in its upcoming phones, as Sony's latest sensor technology compares the signal to lower saturation values in each of the traditional sensors. It will almost double.
Recent leaks also indicate that the larger iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a telephoto lens, which could allow the phone to support at least 6x optical zoom, compared to 3x on the iPhone 14 Pro models.
9- Enhanced LiDAR Scanner:
iPhone 15 Pro models will feature Sony's more energy-efficient LiDAR scanner, which improves 3D scanning performance and helps extend battery life.
