Storage

According to Trend Force, the iPhone 14 Pro maintained the same 6GB of memory as its predecessor, the iPhone 13 Pro. However, the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro/Ultra models may receive an upgrade to 8GB of RAM.

The non-Pro models will likely have 6GB of RAM, which could be the same as this year’s models, but they might use the LPDDR5 RAM found in the iPhone 14 pro.

According to leaks and rumors, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models will likely have 128GB of storage, while the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models are expected to have 256GB as their base storage, which is twice as much as previous versions.

Charging

The iPhone 15 models may be able to charge faster with a 35W power adapter, but it is still being determined if this feature will be available on all models or only the Pro version.

The upcoming iPhone 15 will be compatible with Mag Safe charging and the new Qi2 standard. This means that users can charge their phones faster using third-party accessories that support Qi2, even if they don’t officially support Mag Safe.

Battery

Here are the battery sizes for the new iPhone 15 models and how they compare to previous versions. The iPhones will be slightly thicker, likely allowing for larger batteries.

According to a report from a Foxconn employee, Apple is expected to make significant changes to the battery size in the upcoming iPhone 15 models. The regular iPhone 15 will have an 18% larger battery, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a 12% bigger battery than the previous models. This deviates from Apple’s usual approach of making minor design changes.
