iPhone 15 Pro price
Early rumors suggest that the iPhone 15 Pro could be more expensive than the iPhone 14 Pro. The starting price for the iPhone 14 Pro was as follows:
128GB: $999 / £1,099 / AU$1,749
256GB: $1099 / £1,209 / AU$1,899
512GB: $1,299 / £1,429 / AU$2,249
1TB: $1,499 / £1,649 / AU$2,599
According to reliable sources, Apple plans to increase the price of the iPhone 15 Pro to make the cheaper iPhone 15 model more appealing. This aligns with the assessment of Apple analyst Dan Ives, who predicts that all iPhone 15 models will be more expensive than their iPhone 14 counterparts due to increased production costs. Journalist and leaker Mark Gurman has also hinted at a price hike for the iPhone 15 line. It is possible that the iPhone 15 Pro will start at around $1,199 / £1,209 / AU$1,899 for the 256GB storage option. The rumored 2TB option could cost as much as $1,799 / £1,949 / AU$2,999. It is worth noting that Apple might eliminate the 128GB storage option for the iPhone 15 lineup, as other manufacturers have done with their 2023 flagship models. Additionally, there are reports suggesting that a new storage option of 1TB will be available for the iPhone 15 Pro.
iPhone 15 Pro colors
At launch, Apple is expected to offer a range of colors for the iPhone 15 lineup. However, the selection of colors for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max may differ from the standard iPhone 15. According to the latest rumors, there will be four color options for the iPhone 15 Pro:
Dark red
Dark blue
Silver
Gold
Graphite, Space Gray, or Space Black
iPhone 15 Pro design
The iPhone 15 Pro is likely to have a similar size to its predecessor, with dimensions of 147.5 x 71.5 x 7.85mm. However, the device could have a distinct appearance. There have been reports suggesting that the iPhone 15 Pro will feature titanium sides, making it stronger and lighter compared to the current stainless steel-framed iPhones. Both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are expected to have rounded rear edges, in contrast to the sharp-angled sides of the iPhone 14 Pro. While Apple initially hesitated to implement this design change, leaked renders of the iPhone 15 Pro with curved sides have provided credibility to this rumor. The upcoming iPhone is also rumored to have thinner bezels than its predecessor.
Recent leaks suggest that the bezels of the iPhone 15 Pro could be as thin as 1.5mm, which is 0.7mm thinner than the bezels on the iPhone 14 Pro. Additionally, there have been rumors about solid-state volume and power buttons that use haptic vibrations but recent reports have cast doubt on their inclusion in the iPhone 15 Pro. However, it is possible that the iPhone 15 Pro will feature a new Action button similar to the Apple Watch Ultra, replacing the mute switch. The phone might also come with a USB-C charging port, as multiple leaks have indicated that Apple will adopt this charging standard with the iPhone 15 lineup. Another significant change may be the introduction of eSIM support in countries outside the US, meaning that SIM card-less iPhone 15 Pros could be available in markets like France. Overall, the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to feature several design upgrades that enhance its durability and aesthetics.
With these exciting rumors and features in mind, the iPhone 15 Pro is anticipated to be an exceptional addition to Apple’s renowned smartphone lineup. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the official release date!
