The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max models from Apple’s current generation are unequivocally the best premium smartphones available. They are the trendiest iPhones on the market, which feature excellent cameras, an always-on display, and an interactive Dynamic Island. The 2023 iPhone 15 Pro, meanwhile, is already under development in Cupertino, and experts predict that it will differ significantly from the iPhone 14 Pro. Despite Apple’s cloak of secrecy, there are several aspects of the iPhone 15 Pro lineup that are known.
It appears that Apple is now considering offering users a new design after using the same design template for many of its iPhones. According to the most recent leak, the forthcoming model will feature several more improvements as well as a new border design. Even if it is still too early to discuss the iPhone 15 series, much information regarding the upcoming gadgets has already appeared online. Here is all the information you require.
Here are the 5 significant rumours about the iPhone 15 series that have been doing the rounds on social media:
1. The Pro Max model could be replaced with the iPhone 15 Pro ‘Ultra’
Rumours suggest that Apple’s following Pro Max variant will be known as the “iPhone 15 Ultra.” Bloomberg’s Ming-Chi Kuo asserts that the introduction of the Apple Watch Ultra may have contributed to the shift in the marketing moniker. The “Ultra” prefix increases the appeal of the iPhone Pro Max among high-end customers in addition to making it seem trendy. For instance, the Apple Watch Ultra is a premium smartwatch, and the “ultra” classification enhances the perception of its “luxury” status among potential buyers. It is evident that Apple wants the iPhone 15 Pro to stand out from the cheaper iPhone 15 model; thus, altering the name from “Pro Max” to “Ultra” makes perfect sense.
Still have a back glass btw

Personally i think this design will create a really beautiful edge transition from the back to the camera bump https://t.co/VcXQaI4MDx
2. An all-new Titanium frame
The Apple Watch Ultra has a titanium shell, increasing the likelihood of the iPhone 15 series featuring it as well. The back panel will, however, still be made of glass. Instead of a flat back panel like the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 series phones have, the iPhone 15 Pro might sport a rounded one. Consider the design language Apple introduced when it unveiled the iPhone 5c. Despite being a low-cost phone, the iPhone 5C had curved edges on the back. Since the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be a large phone, having rounded, curved back edges will facilitate smoother handling of the phone.

3. ‘USB-C’ to boost data transfer speed
A USB-C port might very well be present on the iPhone 15 Pro. Apple will be forced to add a USB-C charging connector to the iPhone as a result of new legislation in the EU that will force the company to start manufacturing an iPhone model with the port starting in 2024.
A well-known Apple analyst recently tweeted that the USB-C connection standard will be adopted by all 2023 iPhone 15 models. But the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will also support Thunderbolt 3 or at least USB 3.2. Due to this, the iPhone 15 Pro will experience a considerable increase in wired transfer speeds, making it the only iPhone in the iPhone 15 series to do so.

4. Periscope lens technology
The iPhone 15 pro has also the iPhone 15 pro has been rumoured to have a periscope lens. In essence, a periscope camera bends light using a prism or a set of mirrors. The same idea was adopted by smartphone manufacturers Samsung and Huawei to develop periscope modules for cameras that increase the zooming range. Apple has allegedly been developing periscope lenses for its iPhone line for years, but none of the devices has featured the technology yet. If this rumour is genuine, Apple will be able to have a lossless optical zoom that does not degrade image quality when zooming. Just visualise the upcoming high-end iPhone having a 10x optical zoom.
5. Will cost more than iPhone 14 Pro Max
This pattern may continue into 2023 as well, with the iPhone 14 Pro range costing higher in various countries, including India. Famous anonymous industry insider LeaksApplePro recently tweeted that the manufacturing cost of the iPhone 15 Ultra will be significantly more than that of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Although the price of the new Pro model is yet unknown, it is clear that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will probably be a pricey gizmo.
