We recently published an article highlighting three reasons not to buy the\u00a0iPhone 15<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0if you already own one of the best iPhones, but what about the case in favor of upgrading your existing iPhone in 2023?
We’ll level with you: based on everything we’ve heard so far, the iPhone 15 and its siblings won’t be must-have devices if you’re already rolling with, say, an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro in your pocket (there’s a reason we published that aforementioned piece, after all).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


However, if you’re someone who’s perennially tempted by Apple’s annual iPhone offerings, then the\u00a0iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max\u00a0<\/strong>will, of course, all bring a host of worthwhile upgrades to the smartphone table , and in this article, we detail three of the biggest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. USB-C charging port leads design refresh<\/strong>A Lightning charger and USB-C charger next to an iPhone 14
Apple must add USB-C charging to all new iPhones sold in EU countries from 2024 (Image credit: Shutterstock \/ charnsitr)The EU has told Apple that it must add USB-C ports to all iPhones sold in Europe from 2024, but all signs point towards the company adopting this new charging standard a year early \u2013 and across the globe \u2013 with the iPhone 15 line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


As well as allowing for more cross-charger compatibility \u2013 in 2023, every new phone and laptop features USB-C charging \u2013 Apple’s adoption of the USB-C standard will bring tangible improvements to data transfer speed and security on its newest iPhones. , the iPhone 15 Pro will reportedly offer data transfer speeds of either 20Gbps or 40Gbps, marking a hefty improvement over the 480Mbps maximum transfer rate of the current best iPhones.
But the addition of a USB-C port in place of\u00a0Apple’s<\/strong>\u00a0traditional Lightning port \u2013 which has remained a fixture of every iPhone since the iPhone 5 \u2013 isn’t the only design change heading to this year’s iPhones.
All four iPhone 15 models are rumored to get\u00a0iPhone 11<\/strong>-style curved edges, while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, specifically, are reportedly in line for titanium sides, which will make them lighter and more durable than their predecessors. The latter two phones could get display bezels that measure just 1.5mm thick, too, as well as an all-new, multi-function Action button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In other words, if you own an\u00a0iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro<\/strong>, you can expect this year’s Pro-grade iPhones to be lighter, stronger, and more practical (from a charging perspective) than the device you’re currently using. , and if you’re an iPhone 13 Pro owner who likes the look of Apple’s Dynamic Island, you’ll be pleased to hear that every iPhone 15 model \u2013 including the standard and Plus variants \u2013 is rumored to get the feature this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


2.Better battery life for every model\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro, and their respective Max siblings offer pretty good battery life considering the brightness of their displays \u2013 you’ll get just over a full day of use from all four devices \u2013 but rumors suggest that the entire iPhone 15 The lineup will feature significantly larger batteries across the board.\u00a0
Specifically, the iPhone 15 will reportedly pack an 18% larger battery, the iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 Pro a 14% larger battery, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max a 12%\u00a0larger battery<\/strong>. In theory, then, these capacity improvements should translate to longer battery life for every model.
If you’re interested in the actual numbers, we’ve detailed the rumored battery capacities of each iPhone 15 model below:
iPhone 15: 3,877mAh (vs 3,279mAh on iPhone 14)iPhone 15 Plus: 4,912mAh (vs 4,325mAh on iPhone 14 Plus)iPhone 15 Pro: 3,650mAh (vs 3,200mAh on iPhone 14 Pro)iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4,852mAh (vs 4,323mAh on iPhone 14 Pro Max)The chip upgrades heading to each iPhone model should positively compliment these battery size increases, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are tipped to inherit the A16 Bionic chip used by the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max \u2013 which should bring familiar efficiency improvements \u2013 while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will almost certainly benefit from an even-more-efficient A17 Bionic chipset. The bottom line: expect better battery life from every iPhone 15 model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Reports also indicate that\u00a0Apple’s\u00a0<\/strong>afor\u00a0ementioned move to USB-C on the iPhone 15 line could facilitate up to 35W charging on some iPhone 15 models. At present, the standard iPhone 14 is limited to 20W charging, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max is capped at 27W. around two hours to recharge to full capacity, so we’ll gratefully accept any improvements on that figure for the iPhone 15 line.
3. Camera upgrades for the iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/strong>iPhone 14 Pro Max on a pink background<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Each year, Apple’s latest iPhones bring customary camera improvements to the table \u2013 but in 2023, the worthwhile upgrades seem designed for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, exclusively.
Sure, both the\u00a0iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus<\/strong>\u00a0are rumored to get a 48MP main sensor, but the iPhone 14 Pro already has one of these, and an improved Sony sensor \u2013 one that captures more light \u2013 looks set to be the only real camera upgrade heading to the iPhone 15 Pro.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


For starters, the iPhone 15 Pro Max could be getting a telephoto camera with a variable zoom lens, of the sort rumored to feature on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Variable optical zoom cameras are exceptionally rare among today’s smartphones \u2013 the Sony Xperia 1 IV uses one, but it’s only capable of zooming between 3.5x and 5.2x \u2013 so the addition of such a sensor on an iPhone would be significant.
The\u00a0iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is also rumored to ship with a supersized Sony IMX903 sensor, which \u2013 at a whopping 1\/1.14 inches \u2013 would mark the biggest camera sensor ever used in an iPhone. image processing skills than its standard sibling, too, while a dual-lens front-facing camera could likewise be on the cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
