Top Stories: iPhone 15 Rumors, iOS 17 Beta 7, and More

[MacRumors]

The Apple rumor mill remains busy, as reports about the iPhone 15 lineup are continuing to fly with only a few weeks until Apple officially introduces the new models. Apple is also wrapping up work on iOS 17 to release it to the public right around the same time.

While the iPhone reliably gets annual updates, this week we also took a look at a number of other Apple products that are quite a bit longer in the tooth and offered our recommendations on whether they're still good purchases right now, so read on for all the details on this week's top stories!

iPhone 14 Pro vs. 15 Pro: 20+ Upgrades and Changes to Expect

September is fast approaching, and that means new iPhones are just around the corner. This week, we shared a list with over 20 new features and changes expected for the iPhone 15 Pro compared to the iPhone 14 Pro, plus a similar one looking at over 15 changes for the iPhone 15 compared to the iPhone 14.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 15 series and new Apple Watch models at an event that is currently said to be planned for Tuesday, September 12. Apple has yet to officially announce the event, but invites should go out at some point over the next week or two.

iPhone 15 Pro to Come in Blue and Gray Titanium, No Gold Expected

The upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be available in a few new colors, including Blue and Gray, according to 9to5Mac. These colors were first reported by MacRumors last month.

The report said that Gold will no longer be a color option for the iPhone 15 Pro models, which are expected to have a brushed titanium frame in a departure from polished stainless steel. The full lineup of colors expected for the devices this year consists of Blue, Gray, Space Black, and Silver.

iPhone 15 Pro Models Expected to Be $100 to $200 More Expensive

iPhone 15 Pro models will be $100 to $200 more expensive than iPhone 14 Pro models, meaning that starting prices for the devices could range from $1,099 to $1,299, according to DigiTimes.

Multiple other sources already indicated that price increases are possible for the iPhone 15 Pro models. It would be the first time that Apple raised the starting price of its highest-end iPhones since the iPhone X launched in 2017.

iPhone 15 Could Come With Color-Matched Braided USB-C Cables

All four iPhone 15 models could be available with color-matching braided USB-C charging cables, according to images shared on social media.

The new cable could be around 50% longer than the one-meter Lightning cable included with iPhone 14 models, but it may remain limited to USB 2.0 speeds for data transfer. Faster speeds on the Pro models might be possible with a more expensive cable sold separately.

Everything New in iOS 17 Beta 7

iOS 17 beta releases are now occurring on a weekly basis as the software update nears its public release next month. This week saw the release of iOS 17 beta 7, and we've rounded up everything new.

iOS 17 should be released in September alongside new iPhones. The update is compatible with the iPhone XS and newer and includes many new features, with complete details available in our iOS 17 roundup.

I guess Tim Apple really said "Gold color on your iPhone? Not in this economy!" while raising the price by $100 to $200, huh?

 

[imtoretto]

As a long time loyal Apple consumer, litteraly since the beginning of iphone; i don't see my money worth buying another iphone.... taking my money somewhere else apple.

Some one please show this to Philip Schiller:
"YA'LL CAN'T INNOVATE ANYMORE, SO KISS MY ASS"

 

[CheffyDude]

In other words, I can keep my 14 Pro Max this year.

 

[MEMSMaster]

As of 26-Aug isn't it getting a bit late for Apple to schedule a big new product announcement in September?

 

[Apple Fan 2008]

The new colored cables are nice

 

[batmccoy]

I feel like iOS 17 is the most talked about (non released) software in the history of computing.

 

[iFishishh]

Imagine a phone costing slightly more than 10% of $10,000 dollars.

if you keep it for 5 years it can be looked at $200 a year. But by then Apple might not support the device anymore or somehow manage to make it extreme inconvenient for those who don’t upgrade.

Lol Tim still finding ways to keep their accessories market on a lock and chain. No doubt he will be placing a software limit on 3rd party cables that's how greedy he is

 

[Fandroid killer]

Where are you taking your money? Oppo?

Googles phone has insane hardware. 24gb ram more than the entire macbook lineup lmao. Take a look.

if you keep it for 5 years it can be looked at $200 a year. But by then Apple might not support the device anymore or somehow manage to make it extreme inconvenient for those who don’t upgrade.

IMO a much more logical way to look at the cost is the marginal cost per year to upgrade: $1-$2 per day. You decide if having the most current phone tool is worth the cost of a daily cup of coffee to you, or not.

Depending on the trade in deals, I will trade in my Pixel 7 pro on the 15 Pro Max or just buy a refurbished 13PM or 14 PM. I doubt there's even much difference for the average user between the 13pm and 15pm. Definitely not a $400 difference.

Increased storage

 

[iYigit]

Should I wait for the iPhone 15 Pro or just go for the iPhone 14 Pro? Deep thoughts...

I would wait until the 15 series is announced before making any decisions.

 

[StoneJack]

My 13 Pro max is grinning another year without change

 

[MacClueless]

Apple needs a PREMIUM model, 2-5X more expensive. I don’t have the same car as my kids, or wear the same clothes, or eat at the same restaurants, there needs to be a high end adult version like there is for any other category of products.

 

[picpicmac]

Puzzled over why people think they have to continually upgrade their phones. Unless you lose your phone, why can't you use it for 5 years? Similarly with a computer: why can't you use it for 10 years?

Very, very few people now have needs that exceed the capabilities of these machines.

All this lust for new things is just the training the advertising field has done to our society.

 

[Allen_Wentz]

Should I wait for the iPhone 15 Pro or just go for the iPhone 14 Pro? Deep thoughts...

Obviously on 8/26/23 anyone considering a new iPhone should wait to see what happens 9/13/23 before finalizing purchase choices.

 

[Macalway]

The naysayers in this thread, my my.

This should be one heck of a new phone.

 

[AndiG]

Should I wait for the iPhone 15 Pro or just go for the iPhone 14 Pro? Deep thoughts...

Well, you should listen to the devastating MR review of the 14pro.

Dynamic island is a bust. Battery life is frightening. So should you buy it? There are at least some folks that have stepped back to the iP13.
I really think that DI is annoying when it comes to watching a movie or looking at fullscreen photos.

I‘m thinking about the iP15/15pro. Main reason will be USB-C and to have a new device for developing and testing. On the other hand I don‘t want a device heavier and clumsier than my 11pro.

 

[JapanApple]

better and real pink color should be. Salmon no ty

 

[medialook]

Should I wait for the iPhone 15 Pro or just go for the iPhone 14 Pro? Deep thoughts...

Wait. Once 15 Pro launched and you not fancy it 14 Pro will be cheaper about 15-25 % depending from condition.

 

[medialook]

What about iPad Mini? It's quite old...
