Apple is facing significant production issues with the camera sensors and titanium chassis for the iPhone 15 models, which may impact availability, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Additionally, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is experiencing delays in manufacturing, potentially causing problems for early upgraders.
Apple's upcoming "Wonderlust" event is expected to introduce the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models with features including a titanium chassis, reduced bezels, improved battery life, increased memory, customizable Action button, enhanced cameras, and a new ultra-wideband chip.
Apple's iPhone 15 Pro features a customizable Action Button, a new titanium design, a revamped A17 Pro chip, and a switch to USB-C for wired charging.
The iPhone 15 is a significant upgrade from previous non-Pro models, featuring a more powerful chipset, a 48MP primary camera, the Dynamic Island feature, and improved HDR, making it the best non-Pro iPhone upgrade in years.
The iPhone 15 Pro is designed to have improved repairability, making it easier and cheaper to fix damages such as the rear glass compared to previous models.
The titanium frame on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max may temporarily change color due to fingerprints, but Apple assures customers that this can be easily remedied by wiping the device with a cloth.
The iPhone 14 Pro outperformed the iPhone 15 Pro in drop tests, with the latter experiencing greater damage due to its curved design and more vulnerable screen.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max feature titanium sides, which theoretically should make the phones more durable, although early reports suggest otherwise.
The iPhone 15 Pro is experiencing overheating issues believed to be caused by design compromises such as using a titanium frame, which affects thermal efficiency, according to prominent analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
