Not only will all iPhone 15 models get the Dynamic Island according to rumors, but it'll also be an updated version from the one the iPhone 14 Pro uses, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
The updated Dynamic Island's proximity sensor, which is there to tell the iPhone to turn the display off when you raise the phone to your face for a call, reportedly won't live under the display outside the Island, as it does on the iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Kuo's claim that Apple's swapping suppliers for some of these parts lends a bit of weight to this idea, too.
Apple will also be changing the iPhone 15's proximity sensors out from the iPhone 14's 1,380-nanometre wavelength models to 940-nanometre wavelength ones, Kuo says. He doesn't explain if this has any user benefit, but this is also apparently due to the relocation of the sensors.
Excluding potential updates to the iPhone SE, this year could see the end of the iconic iPhone Face ID notch.
Bigger changes are thought to be going on elsewhere on the iPhone 15 series. This could also be the first iPhone to use a USB-C charging port instead of Lightning, and the first to use titanium side rails in the case of the Pro models. A new A17 Bionic chipset, more curved edges, a brighter display and, unfortunately, a price increase have also all been rumored
We are most likely not going to find out if any of these iPhone 15 rumors, leaks or analyst claims are true until September and Apple's event for the new iPhones. You can keep up with all the latest in our iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max hubs, but also take a glance at our best phones and best iPhones recommendations for the best way to spend your money right now.
