Leaked Information Reveals Exciting Upgrades for Apple’s iPhone 15 Range
August 20, 2022
Apple fans eagerly anticipate the release of the iPhone 15, and recent leaks have shed light on some of the major upgrades we can expect. One of the most surprising discoveries is that at least three models of the iPhone 15 will incorporate Thunderbolt/USB4’s 40Gbps high-speed data transmission feature. This upgrade surpasses previous expectations and brings lightning-fast charging and data speeds to everyday users.
Until now, all iPhone models have been limited to USB 2.0 speeds, which offer a maximum of 480 megabits per second. However, Thunderbolt 4’s 40Gbps performance is equivalent to a staggering 40,000 megabits per second. This incredible improvement will not only enhance data transfers and backups but also potentially reduce charging times, an area where iPhones have lagged behind their Android counterparts.
The discovery of a tiny retimer chip, which enhances signal transmission stability, suggests that Apple’s inclusion of Thunderbolt 4-level speeds was intentional. This upgrade is expected to revolutionize workflows and provide users with almost 100 times faster data transfers and backups. It may also convince Apple fans to pay more for the iPhone 15, especially considering the widely expected price rises.
In addition to the Thunderbolt upgrade, previous leaks have revealed other exciting features for the iPhone 15 Pro models, including super slim bezels, a titanium chassis, WiFi 6E, A17 Bionic chip, periscope zoom camera, and the Dynamic Island design. While these upgrades are impressive, faster charging and backup speeds are likely to have a more significant impact on users’ daily lives.
Despite these exciting revelations, a recent leak suggests that the primary camera on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models will remain unchanged from the previous generation. This is unexpected as the regular iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are rumored to feature 48-megapixel primary cameras. However, the advanced computational capabilities of the new A17 chip could compensate for any potential camera performance differences.
Lastly, a new leak reveals a new color option for the entry-level iPhone 15. Internally known as Pink, Blush Gold, and Rose Gold, this pastel-colored finish adds another dimension to Apple’s color options. The leak indicates that the color is similar to that of the MacBook Air Gold but with less yellow undertones. Apple’s annual refresh of iPhone color options always generates excitement among fashion-conscious consumers, and this year will be no exception.
With these leaks, anticipation for the iPhone 15 continues to grow, and Apple fans eagerly await the official unveiling of the new flagship smartphones.
