I. What's New with iPhone 15?
1. No More Lightning Port
Apple's iPhones usually come with a Lightning port - a feature first introduced in 2012 with the iPhone 5. At that time, Apple promised its customers that this feature would only last for 10 years, and this '10-year' period would end in 2022. So, users can hope that Apple will introduce a new type of port on the iPhone 15.
2. Revival of Touch ID
Touch ID has been replaced by Face ID since the release of the iPhone X. The reason for this replacement is to activate the device screen without occupying space with a Home button. Apple also stated that Face ID is much more secure than Touch ID, with a 1 in 1 million unlock error rate.
However, Apple announced a new version of Touch ID for the iPad Air 4 and later the iPad Mini 6 with Touch ID integrated into the power button. This has led many to believe that Apple will definitely bring Touch ID back with the iPhone 13.
Multiple sources suggest that Apple is working on bringing Touch ID back, but not integrated into the device's power button. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple will design Touch ID under the screen in 2023. This feature was originally intended for the 'iPhone 14' but has been postponed to the 'iPhone 15' model.

3. Periscope Camera
A new camera system might be utilized on the iPhone 15, enabling users to zoom in to a much greater extent. However, it's still uncertain whether Apple will replace the current Telephoto lens on the iPhone or add a fourth lens with similar capabilities.
According to a supply chain report released in April 2022, many manufacturers have started deploying production of the necessary components for the Periscope Camera system. These parts are predicted to be used for the iPhone 15.
4. 5G Modem
Apple's challenges with modems have led the company to develop its own modem specifically for its devices. Currently, Apple relies on Qualcomm to supply 5G modems for iPhones, but this is likely to change as the company plans to use its own modem in 2023. This modem not only costs less than conventional modems but also facilitates the integration of modem technology into Apple Silicon.
II. When Will iPhone 15 Be Released?
Apple may introduce the iPhone 15 with storage capacities of up to 2TB to accommodate new features that require more storage, such as ProRes video. This would push the price of the iPhone to nearly $2,000. Additionally, another variant of the iPhone 15 is the iPhone 15 Fold, a high-end model priced at around $1,499. Apple is expected to release the iPhone 15 in September 2023.
Although users still have to wait for quite some time before officially owning the iPhone 15, it can be believed that this version will bring many surprising breakthroughs. Let's stay tuned for the latest updates about the iPhone 15 provided by Mytour.
