In about a month’s time, the iPhone 15 lineup will be introduced globally. However, there are strong reasons why you should not rush to buy it.

Despite Apple products having a prestigious image and introducing new variants to the global market every year, including in Indonesia, there are important considerations you should think about before deciding to purchase the iPhone 15 from Apple.

Facts about the iPhone 15 Series

It’s undeniable that the iPhone 14 series released last year brought a lot of incredible innovations. Features like Dynamic Island, SOS Emergency via Satellite, and several other improvements managed to capture attention. Even though the camera design still maintains a rounded shape, known as the “bubble camera” in Indonesia, the public’s interest in the iPhone remains high.

Considerations Before Buying

Whether you’re a loyal Apple product enthusiast or frequently try out the latest offerings from the company, these considerations should be noted. Especially for those considering upgrading to the iPhone 15 series. Some assume that the year 2024 might be a more suitable moment.

The Future with iPhone 16

While there are improvements in the non-Pro iPhone 15 model, such as Dynamic Island and a 48MP camera sensor, there are even more exciting surprises in the years ahead. Next year, we can anticipate the arrival of the iPhone 16 with even more prominent differences and innovations.

iPhone 16 Ultra and Its Differences

Mark Gurman, an expert in the technology field, predicts that the iPhone 16 will bring more noticeable differences between the Pro model and the highest-tier model. Furthermore, information from other sources indicates that Apple is “experimenting with different things,” suggesting more promising things on the horizon.

Screen and Design Developments

Significant improvements will be seen in the screen size of the iPhone 16. The Ultra version is expected to have a larger screen, around 6.9 inches. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro will have a screen size of about 6.2 or 6.3 inches. This increase in screen size provides Apple with the opportunity to integrate a periscope lens into both Pro models next year.

Design Innovation and Features

Apple will also focus on design innovations. The originally anticipated solid-state non-mechanical volume buttons for the iPhone 15 Pro might be introduced in the iPhone 16 model. Additionally, rumors about the return of a vertically arranged rear camera layout for the iPhone 16.

The iPhone 16 Plus introduces an intriguing touch. This design will bring back the appearance that was present in the iPhone 12.

Conclusion

With thoughtful considerations, waiting for the arrival of the iPhone 16 series could be a wiser choice. While the iPhone 15 series offers some intriguing improvements, the presence of the iPhone 16, with its more prominent innovations and differences, promises a more satisfying experience. There’s no harm in postponing your purchase decision to ensure you get the best product that aligns with your needs and expectations.
