Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman today shared his expectations for Apple’s “Wonderlust” event, revealing several new features for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models.
Gurman claims that the displays of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will look perceptibly larger due to their significantly reduced bezels. He added that the new titanium chassis will have a brushed effect, unlike the polished finish of the current models that have stainless steel frames.
While the A17 Bionic will offer improved performance, one of the main benefits of the chip will be enhanced battery life. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max’s telephoto and ultra wide cameras will have more megapixels than their predecessors. Gurman also clarified that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will retain its “Pro Max” moniker, and will not be branded as an “Ultra” model as some previous rumors have suggested.
Both the standard and the Pro iPhone models will feature an all-new “U2” ultra wideband chip, the first iteration of the component since the U1 chip’s introduction in the iPhone 11 Pro in 2019. The new chip will improve location capabilities, allowing people and devices to be tracked more precisely in the Find My App. It is apparently set to come to all of the next versions of Apple’s major products.
