Almost a year has passed since the launch of the iPhone 14 series, with speculations about the iPhone 15 now making waves. However, the precise date for Apple’s announcement of the new range of phones remains elusive. According to insider insights shared with 9to5Mac, the company is considering unveiling the new iPhones in the third week of September.
Apple Could Unveil iPhone 15 on September 13 A variety of sources, well-acquainted with the situation, revealed to 9to5Mac that mobile network providers have requested their employees not to schedule time off on September 13, due to a significant smartphone release. Although it doesn’t explicitly indicate Apple’s involvement, the tech giant typically hosts its iPhone presentations in September.
Historically, most iPhone releases have taken place on a Tuesday, with last year’s exception being September 7, a Wednesday. Given that September 13 also falls on a Wednesday, this could potentially be the chosen date for Apple’s grand event next month.
If the reveal for the new iPhones indeed happens on September 13, pre-orders are expected to open on Friday, September 15, followed by the official roll-out a week later on September 22. For context, the pre-orders for the iPhone 14 commenced on September 9, with the official store launch happening on September 16. However, certain anomalies might occur.
In 2022, sales for the iPhone 14 Plus were delayed to October 7 due to supply constraints, a similar situation unfolded in 2020 affecting the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 mini. Analysts have foreseen a possible delay for at least one of the iPhone 15 variants this year, while others maintain that all new models will be launched in September, despite potential “severe shortages.”
Additional Details about the New iPhone Rumors suggest that the iPhone 15 will sport a fresh look, with subtly curved corners and slimmer bezels around the screen. All four new models are said to come with Dynamic Island and USB-C, replacing Lightning. For the Pro models, the company reportedly plans to swap the stainless steel frame with a more robust titanium one.
Render of the iPhone 15 Pro The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are expected to continue using the A16 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 14 Pro, while the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will leverage the advanced A17 chip. The larger Pro model will exclusively feature a novel periscope lens for improved optical zoom.
According to some reports, the prices for the new iPhones could see a hike of up to $200 compared to the existing models.
