​Apple will release a new generation of iPhones on Tuesday, and the phones will come with one of the biggest changes in the history of these terminals: they will have a USB-C charging port to comply with the rules set by the EU. There will also be changes in other sections, but minor compared to the iPhone 14.

To comply with EU legislation that will come into effect in 2024, iPhone 15 phones will have a USB-C charging port instead of Lightning, which has been standard on iPhones since 2012. Other Apple products also feature USB-C, and this standardization is believed to help customers eliminate the need for multiple cables.

There will be four models of the iPhone 15: the standard iPhone 15 Plus and the top variants of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Some analysts have written that a rebranding will follow, which will mean that the Pro Max will become “Ultra”, but this is unlikely to be the case.

Other, much more credible rumors claim that the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max versions will be $100 more expensive, so they will start at $1,099 and $1,199 respectively in the US.

There will be improvements to the processor, cameras and battery life, but they are not expected to be big compared to the iPhone 14. New color versions are also possible.

Rumors also suggest that the Dynamic Island viewing mode, present in the Fall 2022 generation on the Pro models, will now be on all models.

Other rumors point to an “action button” similar to the one on the Apple Watch Ultra, a button that users can use to set various shortcuts to apps and services they use frequently.

Apple sells more than 200 million iPhones a year and earns more than $160 billion in revenue from them.
