Chapter 1: Anticipating the iPhone 15

The iPhone 15 is on the horizon, even as the iPhone 14 has just made its debut. Apple began developing the iPhone 15 well before the iPhone 14 hit the market. Recent reports suggest that you might want to reconsider your iPhone 14 purchase, as an iPhone 15 Ultra model may arrive sooner than expected.

Ming-Chi Kuo, a reliable analyst with a 72.5% accuracy rating according to Appletrack, indicates that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature a periscope camera lens, significantly enhancing its optical zoom capabilities.

Section 1.1: Expected Release and Pricing

Historically, Apple tends to launch new iPhones around mid-September. Assuming there are no further disruptions, we can anticipate the iPhone 15's arrival around that time. However, should another pandemic arise, delays similar to the iPhone 12's launch in October could occur.

Interestingly, leaker ShrimpApplePro tweeted about a project dubbed "Bongo," hinting at an iPhone devoid of physical buttons.

Subsection 1.1.1: Apple's Buttonless Future

John Prosser, another credible source with a 69.1% accuracy rating on Appletrack, clarified Shrimp's tweet. He suggested that Apple has been working on “simplifying” design elements since the removal of the notch and home button. This aligns with the potential elimination of the lightning port by 2023, giving Apple the chance to enhance the device's water resistance by removing any possible water vent openings.

Chapter 2: New Touch Controls?

The most pressing question now is whether capacitive touch buttons will replace physical buttons on the iPhone's sides, akin to the controversial touch bar on the 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Many users had strong feelings against the touch bar, but would you be open to the idea of similar technology on an iPhone? Share your thoughts in the comments! Additionally, what if Apple were to eliminate the silent switch? Would that be a dealbreaker for you?
