The iPhone 15 is likely to have a chipset upgrade. The standard and Plus models will use the A16 chip, while the Pro and Pro Max models will use the A17 chip, which will be Apple’s first 3-nanometer chip. The A17 chip will offer better performance and lower power consumption than the previous generation. It will also enable better connectivity with Apple’s mixed-reality headset, the Vision Pro, which was unveiled earlier this year.
Highlights
- Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 Pro is likely to come with an Action button.
- It will be a reprogrammable button to allow multiple functions.
- Apple has sort of confirmed the existence of the button in the latest iOS 17 beta code.
iPhone 15 series is likely coming later this year and will include at least one model that will feature radical changes to the iPhone design. One of them is an Action button, which is expected to feature on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max smartphones. Apple may just have corroborated it.
