It’s hard to believe there’s still nine months until theiPhone 15range will be officially unveiled. The near constant flow of rumours and leaked information – particularly about theiPhone 15 Ultra– have made it feel like an imminent release, when, in fact, theiPhone 14range was only unveiled around three months ago.
But, alas, the rumours continue. It’s arguably quite justified this time out, as theiPhonelooks set to undergo its most substantial redesign in recent history. According to the rumours we’ve heard thus far, the standardiPhonemodels – successors for the vanilla 14 and theiPhone 14 Plus– are getting a processor boost and the three-camera array previously reserved for the Pro variants.
Those Pro variants could also get a new3nm processorand atitanium frame, while the Ultra looks likely to bag a fourth camera sensor, to give it a periscope zoom. Like I said, it’s a big redesign, and one that will be welcomed after the iPhone 14 range, which many felt was too similar to theiPhone 13that came before it.
Apple’s pricing structure has remained the same since 2018, when theiPhone XSwas released for $999. Those five years have been financially turbulent, to say the least, so it’s impressive that Apple has been able to maintain consistent pricing. But it has to give at some point.
If Apple do increase the price of both Pro variants, I believe the iPhone 15 Pro will suffer most. Assuming what we’ve heard is true, the iPhone 15 Pro could feature a titanium frame, haptic buttons and a more efficient processor. My gut says that at least one of those will be reserved just for the Ultra, though.
If it doesn’t differentiate itself enough, it will face the same struggle that the iPhone 14 Plus did this year. Spend a bit more and you get the iPhone 15 Ultra with its four-cameras and larger screen/battery combo. Or, spend less and get the iPhone 15 Plus, which I think could be the best value-for-money phone in the range next year.

The 15 Plus, assuming all rumours are true, would feature the same processor and camera array as we currently see on theiPhone 14 Pro Max, in the same size package. And at what could easily be a sub-$1000 price point, that would be one hell of a phone.
