Apple iphone 15 Launch Event 2023: 5 Key Things To Watch Out For

Apple has traditionally favored proprietary ports like the Lightning port, but the EU has been advocating for greater standardization in device connections. As a result, USB-C has become a prominent industry standard, and Apple's decision can be interpreted as a response to these regulatory pressures.

iPhone 15 series:

The star of the Apple event will be the four new iPhones launched this year - the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models are expected to arrive with a glass back and aluminium sides and the higher-end Pro versions will reportedly feature a switch to a titanium design, which is predicted to make the phones more durable and around 10 percent lighter, according to a Bloomberg report.

The Pro models will be powered by the new A17 chipset built on a 3-nanometer process, which is expected to result in improvements in performance and battery life, while the base variants could come with last year's A16 chipset, Mint reported.

In addition, Apple is also said to have used a manufacturing process called LIPO, or Low Injection Pressure Overmolding, on the Pro versions to make the bezels around the screen thinner and improve the screen size.

Apple watches:

Apple is planning to release updates to two of its watch lines this year - the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra. The Watch Series 9 is expected to be available in 41 millimetre and 45 millimetre sizes, while the Watch Ultra 2 is expected to be available in 49 millimetre sizes.
