The level of contrast between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models surprised iPhone enthusiasts last year. According to a recent leak, with the release of the iPhone 15 series, the difference between them will be even greater.
According to MacRumors, who has worked with Apple leaker Unknownz21, there are some spec and design differences between the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models. This information comes from his leaked internal Apple documents. An early version of iOS was obtained by him 14 months before its official release by Unknownz21. The leaker update has not been well received by iPhone users on a tight budget. According to MacRumors, the document received "confirms" that Apple's new 3nm A17 processor and revamped chassis with solid-state power and volume buttons will only be available in the iPhone 15 Pro variant. doing. Even the phone connectivity is unique, with Wi-Fi 6E reserved for professionals. This was not suggested in previous leaks.
Given the novelty of this last point (e.g. all iPhone 14 models use his Wi-Fi 6), Unknownz21 published a document. He added that this is just the "tip of the iceberg" and that there will be more leaks, including full photos, before the EVT (Engineering Validation Test) phase, which begins in March. There's absolutely nowhere the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus can compete with their more expensive siblings, as numerous leaks have already indicated that the iPhone 15 Pro model will once again feature a superior camera and its own ProMotion screen. .
Apple has a big opportunity here. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are not selling well. This is because consumers have chosen to spread the high cost of his Pro version across their carrier contracts in exchange for the obvious benefits offered. Therefore, widening this gap is unlikely to increase sales of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
Apple's response is a tried and tested carrot and stick approach, according to sources. Apple is rumored to introduce the Dynamic Island design to the standard model, namely carrots. The iPhone 15 Pro is priced the same. Only time will tell if the risk pays off.
