IPhone 15 release date announced, what new features are there?

Apple has officially announced its upcoming regular iPhone lineup: the iPhone 15 is expected to bring enhanced features for USB-C compatibility and professional models.

Guo Taiming believes that Apple will further differentiate between the basic and professional models by adding solid-state buttons on the professional version of the phone - this will mark a significant difference from the current iPhone model's rotating dial design.

USB-C

Last year, the European Union passed a law mandating all new phones to use USB-C for wired charging. According to reports, Apple plans to add such a port to their iPhone 15 to comply with this regulation; However, this new port may restrict or prohibit the connection of certain accessories and chargers.

Analyst Ming ChiKuo recently reported that the USB-C port of iPhone 15 will only support MFi (MadeforiPhone) certified cables. In addition, each port will be equipped with an integrated circuit to limit data transmission speed to the USB2.0 level.

Apple's goal here is to reduce unnecessary electronic waste, make it easier for users to find compatible accessories, and also accelerate data transfer between Mac and PC. According to CAD files, the dynamic island of iPhone 14 Pro will now appear on all non Pro models; The pill shaped incision will accommodate its camera and various sensors on future iPhone 15 models, ranging from 4.7 inches to a larger display screen of 5.5 inches.

Last month, renowned Apple analyst Guo Mingyi predicted that two versions of iPhone 15 would use solid-state buttons, with tactile feedback similar to the Home button, which vibrates when pressed - rather than physically moving when pressed.

Guo Mingyi later changed his prediction, pointing out that unresolved technical issues may delay the mass production of the iPhone 15 Pro solid-state button. Anyway, he predicts that this year's model will include two additional tactile engines to simulate the pressing of physical buttons.

Apple will comply with an EU directive that requires all smartphones and tablets to include a USB-C interface by 2024, making millions of lightning cables obsolete when used on iPhone 15. This change also means that millions of items will no longer be applicable to iPhone 15.

face detection

Apple's FaceID technology uses a camera to scan your face and generate a mathematical representation, which is then compared with a human face database to see if there are any matching people. It is suitable for hats, most glasses, and some sunglasses; And can detect changes such as shaving off a beard. All data is securely encrypted within Apple's secure enclave and not stored on iCloud.

The data of FaceID will continue to be improved and updated, ensuring its security. In addition, FaceID can also be used for secure online shopping and login to iCloudKeychain with automatic password filling function.
