When Apple takes a step to revolutionize its products, competitors see it as an opportunity and begin mimicking Apple designs. According to rumors, the next iPhone 15 series will be released this fall without solid-state buttons. However, according to these rumors, only the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro Max will have titanium alloy frames and no solid-state buttons. Meanwhile, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has stated that there will be various technical challenges with buttonless iPhone 15 Pro models, indicating that Apple has not made a final choice. The changes expected in iPhone 15 are risky as they could harm Apple’s reputation by altering the way things have been done for centuries. It’s a risky gamble for Apple to take.

New iPhone to have titanium frame

Last year’s iPhone models had stainless steel frames, which made them heavier, but this year’s iPhone Pro models are rumored to have more curved design titanium alloy frames. Apple is contemplating titanium over stainless steel because customers want phones that are durable and light. Now, if this is Apple’s final decision, I believe that improved hand comfort and better looks will keep the iPhone dominant in the market.

iPhone 15 to feature Sony’s imaging sensors

Most people buy iPhones because of their amazing image quality, and to make these shots even better, we have good news: this year’s iPhones may be fitted with Sony’s sensors, which will collect more light and decrease overexposure, making photos awesome. Apple is doing this because the iPhone 14 struggled with exposure handling last year and many people complained about it.

Expect Better Zoom on the Latest iPhone

We’ve seen a 100x zoom from the Galaxy S23 thanks to its telephoto lens, which is still a popular feature among people who like to zoom in on the Moon. However, Apple might consider including a periscope zoom lens in the iPhone 15 Pro Max that can zoom up to 6x, but the digital zoom range is yet unknown. Although lower versions will retain 3x zoom, which is a bit disappointing because $800 phones on the market still have this capability.

Expect New iPhone with More Color Options

Apple may release the new iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max in red, while the base model may come in pink and blue. Color is important to customers, and these options could set a new trend. While these rumors are not confirmed, we can expect some surprises from Apple’s upcoming release.
