The iPhone 15 is still two months away from even releasing a release date, but the leaks just keep on coming. Even I’m excited. It’s like 2014 all over again!
In news that will be exciting for girlypops everywhere, the iPhone 15 is reportedly going to come in a bunch of new colours, including mint green, yellow, red and — wait for it — hot pink!!!!!!! Nothing can escape barbification, not even Apple. It’ll ruin me (and my bank account).
Though, don’t get too excited (oops, too late for that) — Forbes reckons there’s a chance the colours are a decoy. Boo.
The new iPhone is also expected to come in four different models:
- iPhone 15
- iPhone 15 Pro
- iPhone 15 Pro Max
- iPhone 15 Plus
Aaaaand, in some of the biggest news, its lightning cable port has apparently changed to a USB-C port, like the one Macs use, according to Korean blogger yeux1122, who has a track record of being pretty good at predicting stuff.
If you’re a clumsy lil koala who’s prone to dropping their phone a whole bunch (me), then oh boy, do I have some good news for you.
Apparently, the iPhone 15 Pro will be built from titanium alloy, which is meant to be way more resilient and stronger than the previous stainless steel frame.
I never thought I’d be excited over different steel types, but alas, here we are!!!
The leak comes from Patently Apple who apparently got their mitts on several patent reports detailing the use of titanium in future Apple devices.
Titanium is a hot bitch because it’s just as strong as steel, but it’s 45 per cent lighter. This means that the new iPhones will be just as strong, but light as a metaphorical feather.
So if you (hypothetically) end up yeeting your phone across a room, smashing it into oblivion in the process, it’ll be safe? Damn. That’s a game-changer.
Titanium is also able to handle higher temperatures better and is likely to offer the same amount of protection against water damage.
However, it’s also more exxy so we could see prices potentially being bumped up by around $300. According to some reports, pricing is looking to be between $1900 and $2640 depending on the model and GB you go with. During a cozzie livs? The audacity.
It joins a bunch of other rumours about the iPhone 15. One unconfirmed leak suggests the new iPhone 15 base model could feature a 15 per cent increase to its battery life. That’s hot.
Other rumours have been circling around on Twitter, including whether an elusive red colourway would be available.
I dunno man, as long as my phone works and can pump out Taylor Swift tunes, I’m all good. If that’s with our new overlord titanium, then let’s gooooo.
