Anticipated iPhone 15 colour options
The iPhone 15 series is expected to consist of four models, including two standard iPhones and two Pro versions, a pattern we've seen in previous releases.
Recent leaks suggest that Apple is introducing some new colour options this year. For the base iPhone 15 models, we can anticipate colours like black, possibly referred to as Midnight, as well as light green, sunny yellow, light pink, and light blue.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models, which typically share colour options, are rumoured to come in Titan Gray, black, and silver, following the standard colour lineup.
However, the standout colour for this year's Pro series is speculated to be dark blue, though earlier reports hinted at the possibility of red being the signature colour. As the event draws near, excitement builds for Apple enthusiasts eager to see these new iPhone models and their colour choices.
What’s new you will get in the iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Plus series
Among the exciting developments, the forthcoming iPhone 15 is poised to bid farewell to the familiar notch that has persisted since the iPhone X series. Instead, it is set to introduce the innovative Dynamic Island, a feature introduced in the previous year's model, which will notably expand the screen's usable space for consumers.
Additionally, there is speculation about a reduction in bezel size. On a more distant note, rumours are swirling that Apple will enhance the primary camera, potentially elevating it from 12 MP to an impressive 48 MP.
The iPhone 15 is slated to harness the power of the A16 Bionic chipset, previously exclusive to the Pro models of the prior year. In another significant change, both the non-Pro and Pro models are rumoured to transition from the Lightning cable to the USB Type-C port.
What’s new you will get in the iPhone 15 Pro & iPhone 15 Pro Max models
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature a titanium frame instead of stainless steel, enhancing durability while keeping the device lighter. The iPhone 15 Pro Max will also introduce a periscope lens, enabling 5x-6x optical zoom in the camera system.
Expected price of iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Plus
Apple is likely to maintain the same pricing as the previous year for their non-pro model, with a starting price of $999 in the US and Rs 79,900 for the base model in India. The upcoming iPhone 15 Plus is anticipated to be priced at Rs 89,900.
Expected price of iPhone 15 Pro & iPhone 15 Pro Max
Significant enhancements are done in Pro models, likely resulting in increased pricing. The iPhone 15 Pro is poised to see a $100 price hike, surpassing last year's $999 launch price in the US, potentially reaching $1099. In India, where the iPhone 14 Pro started at Rs 1,29,900, consumers can anticipate a price increase of at least Rs 10,000.
