This year's iPhone 14 series has a significant strategy change, which is to shift the focus of the product to Pro, and all the core selling points are given to Pro, and none of the standard version is lost. So compared to previous years, relying on the standard version to increase volume, this year's sales force has also become Pro, while the iPhone 14 seems to be less popular. Some analysts have even pointed out that the iPhone 14 may become the worst-selling model in history.
Therefore, for " and other parties ", you should have begun to look forward to next year's iPhone 15 series.
Everyone knows that the leak cycle of new products of Apple is generally very long, especially for iPhones with extremely high attention and topicality. Often, as soon as the new iPhone is released, news about the next generation of iPhone will appear. This is also the case this year. The one-year "release conference" of the iPhone 15 series has begun.
According to the current leaks, the iPhone 15 series may bring 3 new changes, namely name, appearance and charging interface.
First talk about the name, the iterative model of iPhone 14 Pro Max will be renamed to iPhone 15 Ultra. In the past two years, Apple has also named Ultra on other products, such as the M1 Ultra chip and the latest Apple Watch Ultra, which also represent the highest level in the same series of products.
So if the revelations are accurate, the names of the four new phones next year may be the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra.
The second change is the appearance. Starting from the iPhone 15 series, Apple will completely bid farewell to the notch screen, and the entire series will adopt a punch-hole screen design. This means that the highly-watched Lingdong Island on iPhone 14 Pro may appear on the iPhone 15 standard version. As for the screen appearance of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra, there are currently two theories: one is to switch to a single punch lens solution; the other is to be equipped with two front lenses. The third change of
is the charging interface. According to a well-known source (Majin Bu), the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra will cut off the Lightning interface and replace it with the USB-C interface that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time. There are many benefits of changing to port C, such as improving data transmission efficiency and forming a unified interface with other products. In this way, when you go out to carry multiple devices in the future, you no longer need to bring an additional charger with iPhone.
As for iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, Majin Bu did not mention it. It is estimated that Apple will continue to differentiate between the same series of models, and retain the Lightning interface on the standard version, just like this year.
Similarly, the processor probably remains the same. Equip the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra with the new A17 chip, and then use the A16 chip from the iPhone 14 Pro series on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
In short, based on existing revelations, the iPhone 15 series is still an upgrade focused on the "Pro and Ultra" version. But one question to think about here is, if the next 6.7-inch Pro model is really renamed to Ultra, does that mean it will also have some exclusive upgrades?
Because referring to the M1 series chip, the M1 Ultra is stronger than the M1 Pro. Moreover, Apple has also used a similar approach on the iPhone 12 Pro series that has not been renamed. Only iPhone 12 Pro Max supports sensor anti-shake. If anything, the iPhone 15 Ultra might be the biggest upgrade in recent years.
What are your expectations for the iPhone 15 series?
