It seems Apple has taken Charles Darwin's "survival of the fittest" to its heart. The company has been exclusively dedicated to releasing newer and better versions of its flagship device, which has won it the second and third positions of 2023's best smartphones through the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro. With the rumored release of the iPhone 15 series later this year, fans are eagerly awaiting the new features and upgrades, although their wallets may be a bit lighter.

According to analyst Jeff Pu, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models will come with a higher price tag compared to previous models. Apparently, these upgrades will include a periscope camera, a titanium frame, and more RAM, with the iPhone 15 Pro models being powered by a next-generation A17 Bionic chip. But will these new features be worth the extra cost? Only time will tell.

Apple has kept the starting price of its iPhone Pro models unchanged in the US for the past five years. However, due to the strong dollar, the latest iPhone models have become more expensive for buyers outside the US. If the rumors are true, it would be the first price increase for iPhone models in the US since the iPhone X was announced in 2017. So, get ready to dig a bit deeper into your pockets, Apple fans!

Despite the rumored price increase, Apple enthusiasts are still eagerly anticipating the upcoming iPhone 15 series. The iPhone has consistently delivered innovative features and upgrades, making it one of the most popular smartphones in the world. The iPhone 15 series is expected to continue this trend with new hardware and software improvements.

One of the most highly anticipated features of the iPhone 15 series is the periscope camera. This feature has already been introduced in high-end Android smartphones and has been a major selling point for those devices. With the periscope camera, users can zoom in and capture high-quality images without compromising image quality. The iPhone 15 Pro models are also expected to come with a new titanium frame, which is rumored to be more durable and resistant to damage compared to previous models. That way, even if you drop your phone, it might just be okay.

The A17 Bionic chip is another feature that Apple fans are excited about. This next-generation chip is expected to provide faster performance and improved battery life. With more powerful processors, users can expect faster app launches and smoother overall performance. In other words, you'll be able to scroll through TikTok even faster!

It's important to remember that not all rumors may turn out to be true, Apple has a history of keeping details of their upcoming products under wraps until the official launch. Yet, based on previous releases and the rumors circulating online, it's pretty clear that the iPhone 15 series is set to be another impressive addition to the iPhone lineup.

So, even though you may have to break a few piggy banks for the iPhone 15 Pro models, the new hardware upgrades and features are expected to be worth the rigorous years of money-saving. Apple has consistently delivered innovative and exciting upgrades with its flagship device, and the iPhone 15 series is sure to follow suit. In the meantime, we can only speculate and anticipate what's to come. I sincerely hope the experience of future Apple phones is similar to Android. Just some wishful thinking on my part!
