Apple iPhone 15 release date, price, features, and news:
Apple is planning big changes for the iPhone 15 series, and while we're still a long way from the September 2023 release date, leaks and rumors have already started to reveal some interesting details about the phones.
The iPhone 15 family is expected to appear in four models in mid-September 2023, similar to the previous iPhone 14 series.
First we have the 6.1-inch iPhone 15, the most affordable model. Then comes the biggest, 6.iPhone 15 Plus 7 inch with larger battery. Then again the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro with Pro features and a premium price, and finally we have the big and powerful new iPhone 15 Ultra. Yes Ultra! Apple would use the Ultra name instead of "Pro Max" to signal major updates to the model, including the first periscope zoom camera.
The big news is that all four models will have a USB-C connector, replacing the Lightning connector that Apple has been using for almost a decade. Another rumor says that Dynamic Island will also appear in all four versions. It's also possible that some of these new iPhones will have tactile volume and power buttons instead of the traditional buttons.
What else will be new? And how will the iPhone 15 range change compared to the iPhone 14?Read on for more details.

iPhone 15 release date:
Apple follows a strict schedule that hasn't changed in years: new iPhones are always announced in early September and arrive weekly a week and a half after that the announcement. We expect Apple to continue on this course with the iPhone 15 release date, so we can expect an official reveal and launch on Tuesday 12th September 2023, Friday 22nd September 2023.
Of course, it's still too early to be certain, and these dates are based on Apple's standard annual calendar, not leaked information.
iPhone 15 price
While we know a few details about the new features of the iPhone 15, we don't have pricing information yet and to be honest with the current inflation it would be a bit difficult to make any predictions at this early stage. However, if we had to guess, we'd bet Apple would keep the iPhone 14 series prices the same, only the iPhone 15 Ultra seems to stand a better chance of a price hike.
The latest rumors are speculating that the iPhone 15 Ultra model will see a price increase and the starting price of this model could be $1200 or even $1300! That's a benjamin or two higher than the iPhone 14 Pro Max's current starting price of $1,100.
