5G connectivity

As 5G networks continue to roll out worldwide, Apple will likely double down on 5G capabilities to offer improved 5G connectivity, allowing for faster download and streaming speeds.

A15 Bionic chip

Apple's custom-designed chips have consistently outperformed the competition. The upcoming iPhone is likely to feature an even more powerful A15 Bionic chip, offering improved performance and energy efficiency.

Design overhaul

Apple often introduces design changes every few years, most recently the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 model. While the current iPhone design is sleek and modern, there's speculation that Apple might make significant design changes with the next model.

Battery life

Users are always looking for improved battery life. Apple is expected to continue optimizing battery performance, potentially offering longer usage on a single charge. Rumours also suggest that we can expect a USB-C port instead of lightning on the iPhone 15 models, the change that users on SMARTY community are most looking forward to!

Set a reminder now, and we’ll notify you before showtime.” Pre-orders are expected to start shortly after the announcement, and devices shipping to customers a week later.
