Excited about the new top-of-the-line models from Cupertino's giant? Curious about the prices? We have all the details for you here. As usual, Apple holds its annual debut in September and we can anticipate the appearance of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro on Tuesday, September 12.
iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
First, let's look at what we know: The iPhone 15, like its predecessor, features a 6.1-inch display, while the larger iPhone 15 Plus comes with a 6.7-inch display. It appears that Apple is replacing the Lightning port in the iPhone 15 with a USB-C port, and the "Dynamic Island" feature will be available for both iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus alongside the iPhone 15 Pro models. A feature we particularly like is the sleek design without the "notch" which has been typical of iPhones since the X model.
No Price Change?
The guessing games about the new pricing are in full swing, but we currently don't expect increases for the standard iPhone 15 model. Thus, its price will likely start at $799. According to current estimates, the following storage options in the U.S. could have these prices:
- iPhone 15 - 128GB: $799
- iPhone 15 - 256GB: $899
- iPhone 15 - 512GB: $1,099
- iPhone 15 Plus - 128GB: $899
- iPhone 15 Plus - 256GB: $999
- iPhone 15 Plus - 512GB: $1,199
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
If you're worried about the Pro models, let me put you at ease. Speculations suggest that both the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature a USB-C cable. However, the enhanced Pro model might come with improved USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 transmission speeds. Furthermore, the Pro model offers exclusive premium features like a new action button design, new thin, curved bezels, and a new case material - Titanium instead of stainless steel.
Higher Pro Prices?
Unlike the vanilla iPhone 15 models, the pricing for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max this year is less certain. Reports suggest that Apple could increase the prices for both models.
Some have also proposed that Apple may increase the capacity of its iPhone 15 Pro models compared to last year: From the currently possible maximum of 1TB to a spectacular 2TB of storage space. Such models could start at 256GB instead of 128GB of storage.
- iPhone 15 Pro - 128GB/256GB: $1,099 to $1,199
- iPhone 15 Pro - 256GB/512GB: $1,199 to $1,299
- iPhone 15 Pro - 512GB/1TB: $1,399 to $1,499
