The highly anticipated introduction of Apple’s iPhone 15 series, scheduled for release in approximately three months, has generated a flurry of excitement among tech enthusiasts. As September approaches, the official unveiling of the new iPhone 15 line draws closer, but until then, numerous tipsters are sharing speculative details. Among them, Revegnus (@Tech-Reve) recently tweeted about the upcoming iPhone 15, revealing that the M12 OLED panel, previously supplied by Samsung for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, will continue to be utilized in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
This indicates that significant changes to the display technology are unlikely. Interestingly, last month, reports emerged from Korea suggesting that Apple plans to incorporate the M12 OLED panels across the entire iPhone 15 lineup, a welcome enhancement for those who prefer the non-Pro models. Additionally, the tipster disclosed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will retain the impressive 48MP Sony IMX803 sensor found in the primary camera of the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Earlier rumors from January had already hinted at the same 48MP sensor being utilized in both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models. However, it is important to note that the non-Pro models will not feature a telephoto camera, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to introduce an unprecedented periscope lens capable of achieving optical zoom in the 5x-6x range, surpassing the current 3x zoom capability.
Furthermore, Revengus’s tweet also revealed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max (and likely the iPhone 15 Pro) will be powered by the advanced A17 Bionic chipset, fabricated using TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm process node. Considering that the A16 Bionic SoC, which will be employed in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, already boasts 16 billion transistors, it is reasonable to anticipate a substantial increase to approximately 18 billion-20 billion transistors within the A17 Bionic.
Notably, the tweet mentioned that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, surpassing the 6GB found in its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Although all four iPhone 14 models are equipped with 6GB of RAM, the non-Pro variants use LPDDR4, while the Pro models employ the faster LPDDR5 version.
Previous rumors have indicated that the 2023 iPhone models will introduce the innovative Dynamic Island shape-shifting multi-tasking notification system, while the Pro models are likely to sport a sleek titanium body. It is worth mentioning that Apple might consider raising prices this year, as they have maintained consistent pricing over the past few years.
