iPhone 15 Launch: Expected Price, Upgrades And Everything We Know

The vanilla iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus model may be launched at the same price as last year or get a marginal price hike while the iPhone 15 Pro Max is said to be getting the steepest price hike.

Apple is scheduled to launch the iPhone 15 lineup on September 12 in India and globally and the company is likely to launch four iPhone models this year. The rumours mills are abuzz that the new iPhone series will get a significant upgrade from the previous iteration. Some leaks and rumours suggest that the vanilla iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus model may be launched at the same price as last year or get a marginal price hike while the iPhone 15 Pro Max is said to be getting the steepest price hike, as compared to last year's model.

iPhone 15 Series Price (Expected)

According to several leaks and rumours, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models may witness a price increase of $100-$200, as compared to last year's models in the US as they are likely to get significant improvements, such as a titanium body, a faster chipset and thinner bezels.

The tech giant is likely to unveil both an iPhone Pro Max and and Ultra model, as per sketchy leaks.

Serial tipster Majin Bu recently said that Apple may not release a Pro and Pro Max model, similar to last year and instead, opt for a Pro Max and 15 Ultra model in 2023 with the latter likely to get up to 2TB of onboard storage as well as a "significantly upgraded" camera.

This is in line with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman's post on X (formerly Twitter) that Apple will be bringing four iPhone models this year which will not include the Pro Max variant. All the rumours around the iPhone 15 will be put to rest on September 12, when Apple officially unveils the iPhone line. The Cupertino-headquartered tech giant has traditionally kept its iPhone lineup pretty streamlined, so the addition of a third premium variant might mean an unusual complication.

However, a pertinent question that most people are asking is: Will the iPhone 15 line come with a USB-C charging port?

Meanwhile, a recent report said that Made in India iPhone 15 models will debut in the country in the middle of September, thus, reducing the gap with the global launch. To recall, the iPhone 14 models were made available in the country a month after their assembling was started in the Chennai facility 10 days post the global unveiling.
