According to Taiwanese research firm TrendForce, the iPhone 15 Pro models will have more 8GB of RAM, a USB-C port and several camera improvements.


In a press release today, TrendForce notes that the iPhone 15 line will again consist of four models and that only the two Pro models will get Apple’s latest processor, as was the case with the iPhone 14 line. Users can expect the Pro models to come with the A17 Bionic chip, while the standard models would stick with the A16.

TrendForce predicts that the 15 Pro models will come with more 8GB of RAM to complement the A17 chip, compared to 6GB for the iPhone 14 Pro models. Standard models are expected to continue to have 6GB of RAM.

The switch from Lightning to USB-C has been widely rumored for iPhones, as the European Union passed legislation mandating such a change earlier this year.

Consistent with previous reports, the research firm expects the iPhone 15 Pro Max to feature a periscope-enabled telephoto lens capable of 10x optical zoom or more, compared to the current 3x limit. The Pro models were supposed to have an upgraded main lens with an “8P” design, which would be an additional optical element for better camera performance.

TrendForce says iPhone 15 models will remain equipped with a Qualcomm modem for 5G as Apple is not yet satisfied with the mmWave performance of its in-house modem. The research firm expects Apple to launch its own 5G modem in 2024.

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 15 lineup in September 2023.
