It has been several months since the release of the Apple iPhone 14 series models, but based on current market sales data, the sales of the iPhone 14 this year are far inferior to last year's iPhone 13. The reason is also simple: there is no innovation in squeezing toothpaste. Consumers are not fools either. Instead of spending money to replace a new phone, it's better to continue with Thirteen Fragrances.
Recently, more recent news about the iPhone 15 series models has been exposed online. In terms of appearance design and performance, there have been significant upgrades on the basis of the iPhone 14. Netizens say that there is another reason not to buy the iPhone 14. Because iPhone 15 is more fragrant. So today, Mingmei Infinite will take you to understand in advance what upgrade points are available for the iPhone 15 series models. Will you pay for it without squeezing toothpaste?
IPhone 15
Firstly, this year Apple has launched four iPhone 14 series models, two of which in the Pro series have gained popularity among more users due to their powerful performance and the brand new Smart Island. Recently, analysts have stated that the iPhone 15 series launched next year will be more "balanced" to avoid consumers favoring Pro models this year.
Analysts mentioned that the revenue share of the iPhone 14 series Pro model is between 65% -70%, while the sales of the standard model are weak, ultimately leading to a decrease in overall shipment volume. In the upcoming iPhone 15 model, Apple will further adjust the configuration and combination of these models to make them more balanced.
In addition, the analyst also highlighted the following content in the memo:
The standard model of iPhone 15 will also be equipped with the Lingdong Island feature, featuring a round and pill punched LTPS OLED screen. The iPhone 15 is 6.1 inches and the iPhone 15 Plus is 6.7 inches;
The main camera of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will be upgraded to 48 million pixels, and the image sensor size will be 1/1.5 inch (slightly smaller than the sensor size of iPhone 14 Pro, but the imaging quality will be much better than the 12 million pixels of iPhone 14);
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will use a 4-nanometer process A16 chip (while the iPhone 14 will use a 5-nanometer A15 chip);
The upgrade of iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra (also known as iPhone 15 Pro Max) is not significant for users who already have iPhone 14 Pro models, mainly equipped with periscope cameras and within 8GB
And tactile feedback buttons.
It is worth mentioning that according to current revelations, there will also be some changes in the appearance of the entire iPhone 15 series. The new models will adopt rounded borders, which may become another change in the appearance design since the iPhone 12 series.
From the picture, it can be seen that the front of the iPhone 15 series is still designed at a right angle, but the transition between the center frame and the back has become curved, much like the iPhone 5C back then. I didn't expect the design from 9 years ago to return in such a way that Apple's once most failed iPhone doesn't seem so unbearable anymore
Also, from the rendering images created by Dashen netizens, the new design of the iPhone 15 series has a good appearance and appears very exquisite. But perhaps due to inaccurate size control or incorrect texture and material, it always seems a bit thick. If the disclosure is true, according to Apple's convention, the body may be even thinner.
This kind of change may once again stimulate everyone's desire to buy for the increasingly aesthetic tired iPhone, but it seems to be a manifestation of the Apple design team's inability to adjust, after all, the iPhone's center frame has been changed back and forth three times from arc to square, and indeed the design is a cycle
Previously, multiple iPhones had a right angle border, which had a poor feel and caused some "hand cutting". If the new iPhone 15 adopts the following design, it will be improved.
In addition to changes in appearance design, according to previous reports, the iPhone 15 series will adopt a USB-C interface, equipped with a periscope telephoto lens, and the chip will also be upgraded. However, it will still be used in the Pro series, and the Pro Max will also be renamed Ultra, which is closer to the name of Android phones.
In addition, today's Minmei Infinite would also like to mention that a supplier has revealed that whether it is a high-end model or all models, it is highly likely to use solid-state touch buttons. Analyst Guo Mingyi mentioned that solid-state buttons are similar to the Home button of the iPhone 7 series, and the button remains unchanged when pressed down by the user's finger. Apple uses Taptic Engines motor vibration simulation to provide feedback on the pressing touch, The user will perceive that they have pressed it.
If iPhone 15 really wants to cancel all physical buttons, then a Taptic Engines motor cannot simulate tactile feedback for volume and on buttons, at least 2-3 of them are required. But in this way, with the appearance of curved borders, the interior space of the iPhone becomes even more cramped.
Furthermore, according to the news from the Japanese industrial chain, Sony's latest and most advanced image sensors will be equipped in the imaging field, which can bring better imaging quality and higher dynamic range, allowing for clear facial details even in strong backlight environments.
In terms of price, iPhone 15 may rise to around 6500 yuan.
In addition, to summarize, there is currently a high probability that Apple will use Sony's latest sensors on two models of the iPhone 15 Pro series.
