It'll almost certainly just be what the 14 Pro is since that is the SOC it'll be using and as little change as possible saves $$$...now the 15 Pro USB-C could be taken to a normal speed level since it'll be new as part of the base design.
Got a tip for us?

I agree they should have included the Dynamic Island on the regular models. But I think their strategy worked. Seems like the Pro Models sold much better than the regular ones.
From the article: Note that the published images have been edited to be lower quality as requested by the original source that shared the photos, as it makes the origin more difficult to trace.
I thought I really wanted this too…. But then I realized that I always charge my phone using wireless…. In fact I don’t remember the last time I plugged a cable in to my phone
The same reason any company does anything: money.
Apple owns the lighting standard so any accessory company that wants the little “made for iPhone” stamp on the box has to pay for the privilege. It’s millions of dollars of money for nothing and no public company is going to voluntarily give that up.
I’m really tired of looking up these iPhones a**holes.
I wonder how (if at all) the switch to USB-C will affect Apple's MFI program. Will they have a universal port but in a proprietary implementation?
With resolutions and quality getting better and better on these phones equaling much bigger files…. Transfer speeds are very important to a lot of people. And there simply is no comparison. USB C blows lightning out of the water
Product designs are finalized many many months before release. Almost a year. Think about all the parts that have to fit together. They need to be designed, tested, contracted to manufacturers, paperwork, quality checks and probably hundreds more steps that are subject to delays before they see consumers. I’m under the impression it’s a common misconception that these things that are incredibly complex are just thrown together a few weeks before they manufacture them. It’s just not so.
They are gana push MagSafe more and more. They already limit fast wireless charging to MagSafe only
Whats more visible is the cut out for faceID. If you look closely you can see the smaller camera cut out to the right. Same as the 14.
Haha NO. I said different companies. HAHA
Reading is really becoming a lost art.
Thankfully emojis can tell a story.

Apple should integrate quirky updates like that into their product lineup. They could call it Special Edition or something. Every year a new surprise special-interest feature. People would collect them and debate their virtues endlessly.
looks still like "an iphone". 2024. Minor Upgrades (Camera, Bezel etc.) People will still buy it anyways. Android isnt better either. Same trash design, plethora of pre-installed apps, easy to install viruses and root, un-reliable apps and no value after sale. Just another year 2024. *Repeat in 2025.
You won’t say that when they come out with a hologram phone.
I agree, there'$ no rea$on at all for Apple failing to bring new tech to their ba$e $erie$ device$ and making the price gap between the Plus/Pro phone$ $o $mall. No reason at all.
I wouldn't be surprised if the 48 MP sensor doesn't end up in the 15/15+ and even if it does, RAW mode in 48 MP might still be limited to Pro devices. Imagine having the same sensor but being software locked to 12 MP output only.
Apple always welcome you to give them your cables. Don’t expect any compensation though.
Same here but I’m also just cautiously optimistic. They could pull an Apple and try to put some “secure verification” to where only mFi USB C chargers work (if that is allowed under the EU law, that is.)
