iPhone 15 Launch Rumors and Release Date Revealed

The iPhone 15 lineup is anticipated to be revealed on September 13, as indicated by sources from 9to5Mac. Mobile operators have reportedly cautioned their employees not to take time off on that day, implying a significant smartphone announcement. While Apple's involvement isn't explicitly stated, the company traditionally unveils new iPhones in September. Notably, prior events were held on Tuesdays, with last year's exception on Wednesday, September 7. This year, September 13 again falls on a Wednesday, indirectly corroborating this date.

Should the iPhone 15 be announced on September 13, pre-orders are projected to commence on September 15, and sales would follow on September 22. This differs slightly from the iPhone 14 timeline, where pre-orders began on September 9, and sales started on September 16. Yet, Apple's decisions can be unpredictable.

Past occurrences of supply constraints led to delayed sales. Analysts speculate a potential recurrence this year, though some are confident in on-time deliveries. Rumored changes to the iPhone 15 include curved edges, thinner bezels, a Dynamic Island cutout, and a switch from Lightning to USB Type-C. The Pro series may introduce a titanium bezel, while the A16 Bionic chip could be adopted by the base iPhones 15 and 15 Plus, with the iPhone 15 Pro models featuring the new A17 chip and periscopic cameras. An approximate $200 price increase is also anticipated.
