Looking at the iPhone 15 colors — at least in their rumored phone — don’t they strike you as a bit dull? The colors Apple uses for its standard flagship phone tend to be brighter than what you get with the Pro models, though based on leaked images thus far, they appear more muted than what we’re used to seeing from Apple.
To be clear, the current rumors suggest that you’ll be able to get the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus in black, white, blue, pink and yellow. It’s unclear if there will be a [Product] Red iPhone 15 as there have been for recent models.
Another iPhone 15 color change that could be changing our perception: instead of the usual glossy colors, we’re supposed to see frosted colors on the iPhone 15. We hope the end result is a little brighter and more vibrant than what we’ve been treated to so far in leaks.
Let’s talk about the the iPhone 15 vs iPhone 15 Pro rumors more generally. If you’ve not been following along up to now — and that’s okay — there’s a lot of expected differences. In a nutshell, the iPhone 15 is supposed to offer USB-C connectivity, the Dynamic Island from the iPhone 14 Pro series and a new 48MP main camera.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are tipped to feature lighter and stronger titanium designs, a new Action button and a powerful new A17 Bionic chip. And the Pro Max should get an exclusive periscope zoom camera with 6x optical zoom — double the range of the regular Pro.
One of the iPhone 15 Pro’s features that everyone is going to be talking about is the rumored Action button. Yes, Apple is set to replace the ringer / mute switch with a button that can mute sounds and do a heck of a lot more.
Based on all the leaks we’ve heard, this button will be able to perform all sorts of tricks, from launching the camera and opening the flashlight to starting a voice recording and pulling up a digital magnifying glass. Plus, you’ll be able to customize the Action button to do almost anything you want via the iOS Shortcuts app.
Good morning! It’s Richard Priday (TG’s Assistant Phones Editor) here kicking off the live blog for the day of the Apple Wonderlust event.
Our team on the ground in Cupertino is hopefully still resting up for later today, but in the meantime let’s take a look at some of the rumors that have appeared in the past few months about the main devices expected to arrive today: the iPhone 15, Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.
