Good morning! ☀️ *Tim Cook voice*
Apple’s iPhone 15 event is hours away, a brutal iOS exploit, iOS 18 rumors, and more.
Estimated reading time: 2.9 minutes
📊 Poll
Last week, I asked: Will iPhone 15 Pro cost more than 14 Pro?
Wow, that’s a lot more lopsided than expected
Here were some of my favorite replies:
Yes - “The price has not increased over the last couple of years, and yet production costs have increased, it's inevitable” This is something I think a lot of people overlooked last year.
Yes - “Apple has to charge for the R&D that goes into these amazing phones, but they should charge the same price around the world, not inflate prices such as in the UK where we are charged the same numbers in £’s and USA pay in $’s despite the £ being worth more.” I agree, I’m always shocked when I see prices outside of the US
No - “Gets rumored every year, don't believe it this year at least in the US” True, we shall see.
This week: How often do you “zoom in” when taking photos/videos? More on this in the next segment..
How much do you zoom on iPhone? |
💭 Prepare For “Wonderlust”
Apple will be announcing the iPhone 15 lineup, the new Apple Watches, a new USB-C case for the AirPods and more… in just a few days! And we have further details, specifically about the new camera system.
iPhone 15 & 15 Plus
Main camera: 48-megapixel image sensor, ƒ/1.6 aperture
Ultra Wide Camera: 12-megapixel image sensor, ƒ/2.4 aperture
iPhone 15 Pro
Main Camera: 48 megapixels, Sony IMX-803 image sensor, ƒ/1.78 aperture
Telephoto Camera: 12.7 megapixels, ƒ/2.8 aperture
Ultra Wide Camera: 13.4 megapixels, ƒ/2.2 aperture
iPhone 15 Pro Max
Main Camera: 48 megapixels, Sony IMX-803 image sensor, ƒ/1.78 aperture
Telephoto Camera: 12.7 megapixels, ƒ/2.8 aperture, periscope lens
Ultra Wide Camera: 13.4 megapixels, ƒ/2.2 aperture
The iPhone 15 Pro Max will have “an entirely new periscope lens system for the Telephoto camera. With periscope zoom technology, we can expect significant improvements to the iPhone 15 Pro Max's zoom capabilities. The iPhone 14 Pro Max, for example, is limited to 3x zoom, but the iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to have between 5x and 10x zoom.
This week, we got a much better look at the colors for the iPhone 15 lineup, courtesy of dummy units being distributed. Here’s a video showcasing the potential new colors for the 15 and 15 Pro.
As for the Apple event on Tuesday, I will be live streaming and reacting to the event starting at 11am EST over on YouTube. Tune in, it’s always a blast!
