Apple's iPhone 15: What's Coming in September
Apple is just weeks away from introducing the iPhone 15 and next-generation watches. The new lineup will mark another stepping stone toward the company’s dream iPhone, though changes to the Apple Watch will be more modest. Also: Samsung unveils its own new?phones, tablets and watches.
Apple Inc. designers have long dreamed of an iPhone that is truly all-screen — with no borders around the display and no cutouts for cameras or sensors. With the iPhone 15 this fall, Apple will take another step toward that goal.
The process began in?2017 with the iPhone X. With that model, the screen extended right to the edge at the top and bottom for the first time (the bezel width was similar to prior phones on the left and right). But it did still have a notch cutout near the top to accommodate Face ID, the speaker, front-facing camera and other sensors.
Another step was taken in?2020 with the launch?of the iPhone 12, which had slightly thinner bezels than the X, XS and 11 lines before it. With the?iPhone 13 Pro in 2021, Apple reduced the size of the notch. Then last year, that element was?replaced by the Dynamic Island, making the area even smaller.
This year, two of the biggest changes to the 15 line will get Apple closer to that dream iPhone. The standard iPhone 15 models will trade in the notch for the Dynamic Island, while the Pro and Pro Max displays will be made with a new technology: low-injection pressure over-molding, or “LIPO” as it’s dubbed inside Apple.
That new process will shrink the border size around the display to 1.5 millimeters (from about 2.2 millimeters on current iPhones). LIPO was first used in the?Apple Watch Series 7?to make that device’s borders thinner and increase the size of the display. And Apple plans to eventually bring the feature to the iPad as well, I’m told.
Beyond the new screens, the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro lines will get a series of other new features, marking the biggest update since the device added 5G capability three years ago.
Let’s start with the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. As has been expected, those phones will look similar to the current models but add major camera improvements and the A16 chip from the iPhone 14 Pro line. They’ll also swap out the current Lightning connector for USB-C.
