Are you tired of cautioning your loved ones against purchasing the iPhone 14 at this moment? Well, there’s a silver lining on the horizon. Apple has announced its annual September event, a platform where we expect to get a glimpse into the iPhone 15 series and updates on other devices. Mark your calendars for September 12th at 1PM ET!
The rumor mill started churning almost immediately after last year’s event concluded, with speculations about the iPhone 15 series taking center stage. The buzz suggests that all models, with the possible exception of a new SE, might abandon the notch in favor of the Dynamic Island cutout, a feature that made its first appearance in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. However, if you’re looking forward to WiFi 6E connectivity, you might have to set your sights on the iPhone 15 Pro.
Reports also hint at the 15 Pro and Pro Max sporting thinner bezels and a titanium frame, but the much-rumored iPhone Ultra might remain a mystery until next year. Perhaps the most intriguing rumor of all is Apple’s potential decision to phase out the Lightning port in the iPhone 15 series, transitioning to the long-anticipated USB-C. This move seems inevitable, considering the European Union’s mandate for all tablets and smartphones sold within its jurisdiction to adopt this charging port starting next year.
It would be more practical for Apple to standardize the connector across all new devices, rather than clinging to the Lightning port in other markets. The countdown to the unveiling of this year’s new iPhones is on, and we’re likely to discover what’s in store for the Apple Watch as well. And who knows? Apple might just pull a “one more thing” surprise out of its hat. As always, we’ll bring you comprehensive coverage of this year’s fall iPhone event as it unfolds.
