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.
The iPhone 15, set to be unveiled on September 12, may come with an Android-like charging port and improved camera zoom, potentially increasing its cost, according to analysts, with pricing for iPhone 15 models potentially being around $100 higher than previous models.
The upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will have 8GB RAM, providing a performance boost for simultaneous app usage and browsing with multiple tabs, while the base model iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will retain the 6GB RAM found in the previous models; and although there won't be a storage increase to 2TB as rumored, the Pro models will now start at 256GB and the iPhone 15 will support tethered shooting to a Mac and recording video directly to an external SSD, enhancing the capabilities for photographers and videographers.
Verizon is offering new customers and existing customers adding a new line the opportunity to get the iPhone 15 Pro for free or up to $1,000 off any iPhone 15 model with a trade-in, while existing customers can upgrade and get up to $830 off the new iPhone 15 lineup with select trade-in on qualified Unlimited plans; Verizon is also offering deals on Apple Watch Series 9 and accessories.
Apple's online store is temporarily down ahead of the highly anticipated iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro pre-orders, which will be available in various colors and storage capacities, starting at $799, and followed by a launch on September 22.
The iPhone 15 is a significant upgrade from the previous model, but the iPhone 14 is still a great choice and now available at a lower price.
The iPhone 15 lineup, featuring design changes and a switch to USB-C charging, has been met with strong pre-orders and long lines at stores around the world, suggesting that many people are eager to upgrade their devices.
