iPhone 15 – rumors about new features
As every year, there is some speculation before the appearance of new iPhone models – there are also some rumors about the iPhone 15. But: So far it’s just rumours. It is not yet known which features the new iPhone models will actually bring.
New name: Apple always launches several models with a new iPhone series, such as a Pro and a Pro Max version. The largest version will probably be called the iPhone 15 Ultra this time.
New buttons: According to the rumor mill, the new iPhone generation does not have classic buttons . Instead, so-called solid-state buttons – i.e. sensors that have no mechanics – should replace the familiar buttons for power and volume buttons.
New design: The iPhone 15 is probably a bit more rounded than its predecessors.
USB-C: Long awaited and probably finally implemented soon: Instead of the typical Lightning connector, the iPhone 15 models are probably equipped with USB-C connectors.
New chip: If the rumors are true, the iPhone 15 will come with a faster and more efficient A17 chip. Thanks to manufacturing using the 3-nanometer process, the new chip is said to offer up to 15 percent more performance while consuming up to 30 percent less energy.
More RAM: More RAM is also planned for the new iPhone 15 – up to 8 GB RAM.
Periscope lens: Hobby photographers can be happy if it turns out that the iPhone 15 will have a periscope lens and then offer a 6x optical zoom.
Faster WIFI: With WIFI 6E, iPhone 15 could score with higher throughput and wider channels WiFi performance.
FaceTime conferences in advance. A link allows invitees to join from a web browser, without the need for an Apple device.
The “SharePlay” function allows you to share your screen for business meetings or to listen to music and stream movies from Apple TV+ in real time with friends.
With 3D audio, Apple simulates a realistic background noise. The volume for the left and right audio output channel is adjusted in such a way that the sound seems to come from the direction in which a conversation partner can also be seen on the screen.
The new grid view in FaceTime represents everyone on the call in equally-sized tiles. The person who is speaking is highlighted with a white border.
In order to be able to communicate in a more focused manner, the video conferencing program fades out background noise and softens the camera background.
Work more focused on iOS 15
Other improvements in iOS 15 are aimed at being able to work in a more focused manner.

Notifications are displayed more clearly. If several notifications have been received from an app, they are clearly grouped in a summary.
