The Future of Mobile Computing: Introducing the iPhone 15 Series

The iPhone 14 is a snappy device, but the iPhone 15 is poised to deliver even more power. This will allow it to keep up with your streaming, swiping and photo-taking demands with ease.

According to reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will update its U1 chip for the iPhone 15. This should boost performance while keeping power consumption low.

Gaming

Competitive games feature insane graphics and massive campaigns, so they can require a ton of storage space. However, there’s a way to prevent running out of space on your iPhone while gaming: back up your games to iCloud or external hard drive, or set them to auto-download and update.

The iPhone 15 is reportedly set to be a gaming powerhouse, especially the new Ultra model. Fresh benchmarks from Weibo and Geekbench suggest the new Apple A17 Bionic chip will provide a significant boost in performance. 9to5Mac cites TSMC reports that claim the new chip will have more performance “freedom” than previous Apple processors, meaning improved cooling will enable it to run faster and stay cool while doing so.

If the rumors are true, the iPhone 15 will be able to play high-resolution games at full speed without any lag or crashes. That’s a major win for gamers everywhere.

iMessage

For iMessage users, the new iOS 15 update brings several improvements. Among them is the ability to edit and unsend messages. Apple is also letting users change the color of their Memoji stickers. Memoji are small, animated stickers that users can send and receive to represent themselves.

Other Messages features include a new set of accessibility options for cochlear implants and soft helmets, and the ability to use more than 40 outfit choices for their iMessage avatars. Moreover, the Memoji app now lets users select colors for their left and right eyes independently.

On the iPhone 15’s specs front, we’re expecting it to have a faster A17 Bionic processor. That should make the phone feel snappier for swiping, scrolling and snapping photos. The vanilla iPhone 15 is also expected to have a bigger battery than the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s 3,279mAh power pack. It should also retain the iPhone 14’s 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display with Dynamic Island, an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate technology (dubbed ProMotion) and 2000 nits of peak brightness outdoors.

Expanded Storage Options

The iPhone 15’s new A17 processor is said to offer up 15% faster performance with the same power levels. That should also boost multitasking, apps, and your camera.

In addition to a cleaner UI for deleting data from an app, the upcoming iPhone 15 is expected to add options for clearing Other storage. That’s the space used by app documents, data, and other files that aren’t being actively used.

Another rumor from frequent Apple leaker @analyst941 talks about a customizable action button, which could allow users to execute various phone functions with the press of a single physical or haptic switch. This is a welcome addition to the iPhone, which has struggled with the Ring/Silent and Do Not Disturb buttons for years.

More RAM is also in the works for the incoming iPhone 15. Pro models are tipped to get 8GB of RAM, while standard models may see a bump from 6GB up to 8. This extra memory could help with image processing on the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s alleged new periscope zoom feature.

Battery Life

Aside from the iPhone 15’s more efficient A17 chip, there’s also a chance that this year’s OLED display could help boost battery life. According to Economic Daily News (via Weibo), Apple’s suppliers have upgraded their production lines so that the OLED display driver chip will be based on a 28nm process, down from the 40nm one found in this year’s iPhone 14 Pro models.

TSMC is expected to begin using a 3nm fabrication process for the A17 chip in 2023, which could also make the iPhone 15’s battery last longer. This smaller production process will allow for the A17 chip to be much faster and more efficient than Apple’s previous model.

If you’re experiencing poor iPhone 15 performance, a simple reboot might solve the problem. You can also keep an eye out for iOS updates — while they might not specifically mention battery fixes, new software often helps improve battery iphone 15 2023 performance. Aside from that, if your device’s battery health continues to degrade, an Apple Authorized Service Provider can replace the battery.
