iPhone 15/Plus screen:

 Advantages: DXOMARK evaluates the screen brightness of this phone as good, with good legibility under most tested light conditions, and compared with the previous iPhone digital series, the colors of photos are more vivid; there is almost no frame loss in video playback appears, and motion blur is well optimized.

 Disadvantages: The 60Hz screen refresh rate is slightly less smooth when sliding and playing games, and the mid-tone contrast in HDR10 videos is low, and the overall tone in photos and videos is orange, which affects color rendering and skin tone presentation to a certain extent.

iPhone 15 has an audio score of 141 points, ranking 5th in DXOMARK’s global high-end smartphone screen rankings and 15th overall. The iPhone 15 Plus audio score is the same as the iPhone 15.

iPhone 15/Plus audio:

 Pros: In terms of playback, the device excels in multiple attributes, with good overall playback quality, deep extension of the low frequencies, and good dynamics and spatial performance. In terms of recording, the sound quality is good, especially when recording louder scenes such as concerts; sound artifacts are handled well, although wind noise control still needs some fine-tuning, but its performance is pretty good.

 Disadvantages: When playing audio at maximum volume, the device has certain distortion and compression, and the stereo sound in the music application is inverted like all iPhone devices; when recording, the mid-frequency performance is greatly affected by the usage scenario, and may occur Canned or nasal sounds; the main vocal content is easily obscured by background noise, and audio focus performance is poor.

In addition, DXOMARK also announced that the iPhone 15 Plus has an imaging score of 145 points, ranking tied for 12th place with Apple iPhone 15 in the global imaging rankings, and ranking first in the high-end model category.

DXOMARK reviews iPhone 15 Plus When using the HDR screen to browse content shot by the device, the image contrast is vivid and the brightness performance is good; whether it is photo shooting or video recording, its exposure and color performance are particularly good. In portrait mode, the device can accurately estimate depth of field and retain details, and in bright environments, the color rendering and skin tone restoration of photos and videos also appear natural and comfortable.

The disadvantage is that the zoom capabilities of the iPhone 15 Plus still lag behind the Pro series models; in low-light environments, some details are missing and there is more noise in photos and videos.

The latest iPhone 15 / Plus series of phones may also have the same problem, according to the media, which said that the iPhone 15 / Plus phones use cheaper batteries that have only about 600 charge cycles.

Apple’s reason for adopting a cheaper battery for the series of phones may be that the relevant models of phones do not support fast charging, the phone’s battery loss in a single charge is less, Apple cut costs in this regard, and ultimately used a battery with only 600 cycles.

Apple is cutting costs on batteries because the company has established an extensive and reliable supply chain and retail network that allows it to quickly replace batteries for users, the media said.

The foreign media also quoted a blogger on the X platform, RGcloudS, a long post, to explain

The relevant content is as follows:

Do you know why the battery life of iPhone 14 and 15 series drops faster?


It's because it uses cheaper battery cells, similar to third-party parts that average only 600± charge cycles.


Yes, it's a high-density battery. The original iPhone 12 Pro Max battery has a capacity of 3687 milliamp hours (mAh), while the third-party iPhone 12 Pro Max battery has a capacity of 4350 milliamp hours (mAh).


The battery capacity is the same or similar on the iPhone 13, 14, and 15, but the battery in the iPhone 13 is a high-density and high-quality cell.


When it comes to Li-ion batteries, most phones, especially flagship models, use batteries with 800 charge cycles. some of BBK Group's phones, such as the Find X, vivo X, realme GT 240W and OPPO, use more advanced self-healing battery cells with 1,600 charge cycles.


Batteries with 500-600 charge cycles are typically used in high-performance products such as mobile power supplies that support up to 300 watts of power transfer, vacuum cleaners, blenders or handheld/portable devices that support a minimum of 100 W. 18650 and 21700 cells are commonly used.


What about larger devices / electric vehicles? They use batteries with 800 charge cycles.


The best high performance battery exists in the Vespa Elettrica electric motorcycle made by LG Chem, which has 1000 charge cycles.


The problem is that the iPhone is not a high performance (100+ watts) product, so 600 charge cycles is unacceptable. In order to make significant upgrades without raising the price, Apple had to cut costs, which is another factor besides the drop in NAND prices that explains why Apple has been able to keep prices stable.


Interestingly, recent iPhone batteries use recycled cobalt as the cathode material, and repurposing recycled cobalt to battery grade actually costs the same or more, and is more expensive than buying a high-quality battery with 800+ charge cycles.


And most of Apple's revenue comes from services. So if certain parts of a product are easily replaceable, it will lead to more problems.


As long as it doesn't involve the display and other important parts that affect daily use, it's not a big problem.


I don't understand environmental protection,

Reports claim that Apple is practicing environmental responsibility by adopting a new internal structure in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus that can reduce the repair costs for users.

As for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max and other iPhone models, repairing the microphone still requires replacing the entire center frame assembly.

Note: This includes the earpiece and other microphones next to the rear camera, which will still require replacing the entire bezel if there’s a problem.

Foreign media said that the new color of the new phone is very beautiful, and the matte texture and rounded frame on the back are more comfortable to hold than the previous model.

Apple finally uses the USB-C port on the iPhone 15, which means users can finally charge their MacBook and iPhone with one cable. It was noticed that Apple confirmed last year that in order to comply with the EU’s upcoming regulations, it would switch to a USB-C interface on the iPhone, and the iPhone 15 is the first iPhone to use this interface.

iPhone 15 also has Dynamic Island, a pill-shaped cutout only found on iPhone 14 Pro, that offers a new way to view certain notifications and interact with apps.

iPhone 15

iPhone 15 also uses an OLED Super Retina display with a peak brightness of 2,000 nits in sunlight, twice that of iPhone 14.

The last big upgrade of the iPhone 15 is the camera system. The main camera has been upgraded from the previous 12 million pixels to 48 million pixels. There is also a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and portrait mode has also been improved, eliminating the need to manually switch to portrait mode.

Majin Bu posted a tweet on X (formerly Twitter), showing the black, blue and green USB-C tail plugs in three colors, and said that plugging feels better than traditional USB-C ports.

Majin Bu also shared the possible appearance of the light green version of the iPhone 15 in the tweet, saying that its color is close to that of the iPhone 12 series.

However, he also admitted that only from the USB-C tail plug, it is not 100% sure that Apple will launch an iPhone with the corresponding color.

It was reported in early July this year that Weibo user OvO shared Weibo content, saying that Apple will launch a green iPhone 15 this year.

Foreign technology 9to5Mac has updated the high-definition renderings of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, sharing the color lineup of this year’s standard models:

Inquires about relevant information. There are still many renderings on the Internet, some of which show that they will use the Smart Island design, but the renderings used by the MacRumors platform still use the bangs scheme. Based on the information previously obtained, the Apple iPhone 15 should be fully The system turns to the design of the Smart Island, and the following renderings are for reference only.

Ming-Chi Kuo said that due to low yields of said sensors, supplier Sony has increased its production capacity by 100-120% to meet Apple’s demand, but this has also led to a significant reduction in supply from its Android partners.

Apple first introduced a 48-megapixel camera lens on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max last year, capable of taking 48-megapixel ProRAW photos, with image files retaining more detail for post-editing. In comparison, last year’s iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus used a 12-megapixel camera.

Kuo’s report is consistent with claims made in May by Jeff Pu, an analyst at Hong Kong-based investment firm Haitong International Securities, who said at the time that the 48-megapixel lenses on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus would utilize a new triple-layer sensor that captures more light and improves image quality. pu said at the time that the stacked sensor Pu said at the time that the stacked sensor could face capacity shortages, leading to production delays for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. But Ming-Chi Kuo’s latest report suggests that Apple has already resolved the issue.

Kuo also mentioned that Wale’s high-end CIS (64MP+) orders have grown significantly (since 2H23), as Sony has reduced the supply of high-end Android CIS (contact image sensors), so brand manufacturers need to actively look for alternatives. Weir’s high-end CIS market share is expected to grow significantly from 3-5% in 2023 to 10-15% and 20-25% in 2024 and 2025 respectively, which is favorable for long-term revenue and profit growth. In addition, Huawei will actively cooperate with Steamboat, considering that more and more of Sony’s production capacity and R&D resources will continue to be occupied by Apple. In the second half of the year at the earliest, Huawei’s new high-end model (Mate) will see Steamboat as a high-end CIS supplier.

It was previously reported that both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will feature a 48MP main camera, just like the “Pro” models. Unfortunately, there are assumptions in the supply chain for triple-stacked sensors that have resulted in poor yields, which could mean that Apple will have to delay two products in its upcoming flagship iPhone lineup. Thankfully for the company, those issues have been ironed out, so there shouldn’t be any production delays unless brand new problems crop up.

The initial shipment target is between 85-90 million units, but Taiwan’s Economic Daily News did not provide specific figures for the first batch of production “Pro” and “non-Pro” models. We think Apple wants a higher percentage of iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models to be produced, as both models are rumored to feature more exclusive upgrades, attracting Apple’s customer base to upgrade and helping the company generate more iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. more income.

Foxconn has reportedly increased “signing-on” bonuses for new hires to meet demand, which typically needs to hit 200,000 at a time to meet Apple’s strict targets. This year, it is said that Foxconn will exclusively mass-produce the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and introduce Luxshare Precision as a secondary supplier. However, orders for the iPhone 16 Pro Max in 2024 will be taken away from Foxconn as Apple aims to diversify its supply chain to prevent outages caused by unnecessary emergencies like 2022.

Like the iPhone 14 launch, the iPhone 15 series is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of this year, and Apple will adjust these shipments accordingly based on the popularity of each model in a few weeks.

According to a new report from TrendForce, Tata Group, which recently acquired Wistron, will now assemble a small portion of the iPhone 15 series smartphones in India, so it now has an iPhone production line in India. Tata Group will be the new contract partner for iPhone manufacturing in India, making it Apple’s fourth manufacturer after Foxconn, Pegatron and Luxshare Precision.

According to the report, Tata Group will assemble 5% of Apple’s iPhone 15 series phones, while Foxconn, Luxshare Precision, and Pegatron will still occupy the main share. Foxconn will still have 70% of assembly orders for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, while orders for the iPhone 15 Plus will account for 60%.

Luxshare Precision will receive 25% of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max orders; Pegatron will receive 35% of iPhone 15 Plus orders and 30% of iPhone 15 Pro orders. Finally, Tata Group will not assemble the iPhone 15 Pro series (Note: It is expected to include iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max) phones.

In a tweet shared with subscribers in February, Ross Young said that Apple is already pushing forward with mass production of the screen, and that Apple is expected to launch the new MacBook Air in early April, but he did not rule out the possibility of an earlier launch.

Young did not provide any other details about the new model, and it’s unclear whether it will come with the M2 chip or the next generation of M3 chips based on the 3nm process.

Another piece of confirmed information is that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models will still have a 60Hz screen refresh rate, despite being equipped with the newest “Smart Island” feature. LTPO screen technology.

Ross Young is a very reliable source of information, and he accurately revealed that the iPhone 13 Pro and high-end MacBook Pro models will have ProMotion, the sixth-generation iPad mini will have an 8.3-inch display, and the MacBook Air will have a slightly larger 13.6-inch display. inch display and more.

This article discusses in detail his view that Apple will widen the price interval between the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro models, but not to lower the price of the iPhone 15 Plus, but to raise the price of the iPhone 15 Pro.

In the article it is argued that Apple prepared to adjust prices as early as last year, and with the impact of many factors such as rising production costs, inflation and falling profit margins, Apple’s revenue reports have fallen. And since the launch of the iPhone X in 2017, it may be the perfect time for Apple to adjust the pricing of its iPhone models this year.
