To make things a bit more interesting, Pu expects the iPhone 15 Pro lineup to jump from the 6GB of RAM found in the iPhone 14 Pro series to 8GB. In terms of other hardware, Pu also states that the iPhone 15 Pro series will likely see the new A17 Bionic chip, featuring TSMC’s 3nm manufacturing process.

Additionally, Pu also indicates that the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will likely see the A16 Bionic alongside 6GB of RAM. Interestingly, Pu also expects all four new devices to feature USB-C ports, as well as Qualcomm Snapdragon X70 modems.

In terms of other rumors for the Pro series, Pu also expects the devices to feature a titanium frame, as well as haptic feedback in thanks to two additional Taptic Engines for the solid-state volume and power buttons. Concerning these particular rumors, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also made predictions potentially confirming them.

Looking Ahead

Alongside these predictions, Pu also believes that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature the widely rumored periscope lens for the main camera. With this possibly being the oldest rumor concerning the iPhone 15, many additional sources believe this is a feature likely to arrive this year. Concerning the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, the analyst believes the devices will see a 48-megapixel rear camera, which is similar to the one currently found on the iPhone 14 Pro series.

With the iPhone 15 series likely seeing announcement in September, more rumors will likely develop. While MacRumors maintains that Pu has a mixed track record in regard to Apple rumors, it is likely best to take things with a grain of salt until the actual date of announcement draws closer.
