This year’s most affordable new iPhones, theiPhone 15and theiPhone15 Plus, are expected to look like theiPhone 14models they’re replacing. But inside and out there are lots of really significant upgrades that could make both phones feel like massive improvements. From more powerful processors to iPhone Pro-spec cameras, this year’s entry-level iPhones are starting to sound seriously impressive.
The other changes are less obvious but could be more important.
iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus: key upgrades for 2023
The first big upgrade is expected to be the processor. This time around theAppleSilicon inside the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus is likely to be the A16. That’s the processor that currently powers the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, and it’s ridiculously powerful: it’s a six-core processor with four efficiency cores and two high-performance cores to balance speed and battery life. It also has a five-core GPU for smooth graphics.
The other big upgrade is expected in the cameras. According to well-connected analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, the two entry-level iPhone 15 models will be gettinga 48 megapixel rear camera lenswith a new stacked sensor system that captures more light. That means faster performance and improved low-light shooting, something the iPhone 14 is already pretty good at but always has room for improvement.
The combination of the new sensor and the faster processor should make the cameras much more flexible as well as faster for things like HDR processing. Kuo isn’t the first analyst to talk about this new camera, but previous predictions were then modified when Apple was apparently experiencing manufacturing problems. According to Kuo, those problems have now been solved and Apple is ordering tons of sensors fromSony, which could lead to a shortage for rivals.
