iPhone 15 Pro Models: Rumors Titanium Frame, Taptic Buttons, Increased RAM Features

Leaks of the iPhone 15's range have shown off a number of potentially alluring improvements and eye-popping price rises.

According to tech expert Jeff Pu, Apple's iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models would include a titanium frame, solid-state buttons with haptic feedback, and more RAM.

Experts Reveal Apple's New Flagship's Features

Pu described his estimates for the iPhone 15 lineup in a research note published today for the Hong Kong-based investment company Haitong International Securities.

According to Mac Rumors, he specifically anticipates the Pro models to include a titanium frame, solid-state volume and power buttons, and two more Taptic Engines for haptic feedback.

Additionally, he anticipates that the Pro models' RAM would increase from the iPhone 14 Pro models' 6GB to 8GB.

It can be remembered that sources such as leaker "ShrimpApplePro" and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo have already speculated about all three of these capabilities for the iPhone 15 Pro variants.

Pu said that an A17 Bionic chip produced using TSMC's 3nm process will power the iPhone 15 Pro models.

Meanwhile, he anticipates that the A16 Bionic chip and 6GB of RAM will be used in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus versions.

According to him, all four models would include a USB-C port and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X70 5G and LTE modem.

Pu anticipates that the iPhone 15 Pro Max's telephoto lens will incorporate periscope technology for greater optical zoom, as has been widely anticipated.

It is important to note that the inclusion of a periscope lens in Apple's iPhone 15 Pro series has also received support from Kuo, Apple Insider reports.

Moreover, Pu anticipates a 48-megapixel rear camera lens on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, similar to the iPhone 14 Pro versions.

Some Details Including The Series' Prices Are Yet To Be Confirmed

Pu continues to be apprehensive about the stock prices of numerous companies in Apple's supply chain based on recent supply chain checks and opinions on the tech industry.

The tech expert thinks that Apple's product momentum has "become feeble," and he predicts that shipments of the iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch, and AirPods would fall in 2023 when compared to the previous year.

Although Pu's track record at predicting Apple's future plans is mixed, much of the information he provided today about the iPhone 15 versions has been predicted before.

With that, Apple is anticipated to reveal its iPhone 15 lineup in September as usual, as per a report by Mac Rumors.

In another leak just recently, Naver user yuex1122 says that the tech giant is also reevaluating its approach on selling the iPhone 15 series.

However, Forbes writes that the Mini form factor may not be returning, despite Apple's projected price reductions for normal iPhone 15 models.

Additionally, rumors about slashing the price of the iPhone 15 Plus send shockwaves through the pricing of the iPhone 15, the iPhone 14, and even the base-model iPhone SE.

As a result, it makes a lot more sense that Apple could simply drop the Plus and release an iPhone 15 Mini with the iPhone 15.

This would allow Apple to lower the price of the entry-level model, increase the price differential with the iPhone 15 Pro versions, and maintain the costs of the other variants.
