We're here to offer you an insider's perspective on what to anticipate from this much awaited occasion. Join us as we investigate the possible game-changing revelations, study the secrets of Apple's enigmatic invites, and explore the rumored iPhone 15. It's going to be a crazy journey, so buckle up!

Deciphering Apple's Invitation: Wonderlust vs. Wanderlust

The invitation for the event has an Apple logo composed of small, dust-like particles, which is traditionally mysterious. The logo contains indentations that resemble the shapes seen on wind-sculpted sand dunes. Naturally, the slogan "Wonderlust" is a play on the term "wanderlust," which describes a strong desire for or drive to travel. Does the term "wonderlust" refer to a great desire or want to wonder? Like everyone else, we're attempting to decipher the invitation and trying to figure out how it relates to Apple's impending announcements. Could a less boxy iPhone design be indicated by the grooved perforations in the logo? The particles could be a reference to better cameras that can capture more details. Could the colors, which include metallic gray, blue, and even gold tones, be a nod to the upcoming iPhone or Apple Watch hues? Or is what Apple does just a recognition of the transient essence of life? No clue. But I anticipate that the iPhone 15 Pro will take center stage.

A Closer Look at the iPhone 15

The iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max will most likely be the four versions in the upcoming iPhone range, much as the iPhone 14 series. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who has a good track record of reporting on Apple leaks, will essentially be a repackaged iPhone 14 Pro without the telephoto camera or stainless steel chassis. The A16 processor from the 14 Pros and a 48-megapixel primary camera would be carried over to the new phones. The Dynamic Island cutout that debuted on the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will replace the display notches on the two phones' exteriors.

Expect no further screen changes despite the arrival of the Dynamic Island. Display expert Ross Young predicted that the entry-level iPhone 15 models wouldn't have a high refresh rate like Apple's Pro iPhones in a September 2022 post on X, then known as Twitter.

15-Watt Wireless Charging: Embracing Wireless Freedom

All four of the iPhone 15 models will offer 15-watt wireless charging using the Qi2 open standard, which was introduced earlier this year, according to a May report by ChargerLab. If this information proves to be accurate, the iPhone 15 may usher in a brand-new era of wireless charging gadgets that don't necessarily have to be authorized Apple MagSafe accessories.

A Change in Ports: USB-C Replaces

But the removal of the Lightning port is anticipated to be the largest change for all four iPhones. The iPhone 15 series will include a USB-C connector rather than a Lightning port, most likely as a result of pressure from the European Union, which enacted laws establishing USB-C as a universal charging standard. How Apple will approach this is a little unclear, for example, whether USB-C will be available on all new iPhones worldwide or only in the EU. But for the foreseeable future, it's quite probable that all new iPhone models will be marketed with a USB-C connector.

A Titanium Marvel, the iPhone 15 Pro

The largest upgrades might be seen in the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, out of what Apple is anticipated to present. Stainless steel will no longer be used for the Pro model's frame, according to Bloomberg's Gurman. The change in materials could assist each phone's total weight, which is substantial even without a cover. The A17 chip, Apple's tiniest silicon to date, will likely be used in the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. It has a super-tiny, 3-nanometer CPU.

A Bold Change: Enhanced Functionality with USB-C

The greatest difference between the 15 and 15 Plus and the Pro versions will be the USB-C connector, which, unlike the 15 and 15 Plus, may offer greater data rates for things like file transfers and ProRes video files.

Photographic Zoom: 6x Optical Telephoto Camera

A new 6x optical telephoto camera might be added to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The iPhone 15 Pro Max, according to renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities, would contain a horizontally placed periscope lens and camera unit within the phone's body, much as the Pixel 7 Pro, Galaxy S23 Ultra, and Sony Xperia 1 V.

Solid-State Volume and Power Buttons are innovative buttons.

Both Pro versions may include solid-state volume and power buttons, which would further set them apart from the standard 15 and 15 Plus, according to Kuo's claim. Instead of being mechanical, the buttons would be more analogous to the touch-sensitive region that first appeared on the iPhone 7 and functions as the "home button" owing to some ingenious haptic feedback.

iPhone 15 Pro Max or iPhone 15 Ultra, according to rumors?

There are a few rumors that have been reported even if they are rather outdated or improbable. The iPhone 15 Pro Max could eventually adopt the name iPhone 15 Ultra, to start. Bloomberg's Gurman brought up the notion about a year ago, but it should be viewed with caution since Gurman hasn't brought it up subsequently. Another unconfirmed report comes from MacRumors, who discovered code describing the functioning of an action button similar to the one on the Apple Watch Ultra in a beta version of iOS 17. The iPhone's action button would be used for more phone-specific functions like shortcuts or starting the camera, which would be a first for Apple. To find out, we'll have to wait until the 12th.

Series 9 Apple Watch and Apple Watch Ultra 2

In a less ambitious upgrade, it seems that the next standard Apple Watch will probably be a pretty understated Series 8 model. A new color might be offered with the Series 9. According to MacRumors, the Apple Watch Series 9 may include a new pink color, according on a tweet from X/Twitter user ShrimpApplePro. The Series 9 is most likely going to be powered by the new S9 processor, which Bloomberg's Gurman characterized as providing improvements to performance and efficiency in a post to his Power On Discord channel back in May. To put it another way, the battery life might be improved. There may be a second-generation Apple Watch Ultra. According to a ShrimpApplePro post on X/Twitter, the tough watch launched last year, and a new version may have a speedier CPU and a black titanium finish.

Potpourri and a wrap-up are what else to anticipate.

A new version of the AirPods case with a USB-C port may be released. A release date for WatchOS 10 and iOS 17 is most likely coming. And I find it hard to believe that Apple would pass up the opportunity to provide an update on its Vision Pro headset, which was introduced at WWDC in June. We won't know anything for sure, of course, until Tim Cook and his team enter the Steve Jobs Theater and make their announcements.
