In recent years, the mobile phone industry likes to talk about “full screen”. To put it simply, it is to try to make the entire surface be awned, and the frame is as narrow as possible. But today, to achieve a true “full screen”, the method used It’s nothing more than the entire bangs, and it doesn’t even make a hole. In fact, it has not achieved a “full screen” in the true sense. It was rumored earlier that Apple is moving in this direction, or that there will be a true “full screen” mobile phone with an under-screen camera in the near future, but when is it really, maybe iPhone 16? Possibly iPhone 17? I don’t know, at least this year’s iPhone 15 has not done it, but we have actually seen that Apple has been working hard to change the design in recent years.
Apple keeps moving toward a true all-screen iPhone
Since 2017, Apple has actually started to take the first step toward the goal. At that time, it launched the iPhone X, which extended the screen to the upper and lower edges for the first time, but in order to accommodate FaceID, front-facing lenses, other sensors, etc., Apple added an M-shaped bangs to its mobile phone, and this M-shaped bangs once became the talk of others, but after talking about it, everyone began to get used to it. In 2020, when the iPhone 12 is launched, the frame will become narrower than the previous iPhone X, iPhone XS and iPhone 11 series, and in the iPhone 13 Pro series in 2021, Apple will narrow the M-shaped bangs until it reaches the top. In the iPhone 14 Pro series in 2018, you can finally say Bye Bye with Bangs and change it to Dynamic Island.
And coming to the iPhone 15 series, there will be two major changes that will bring Apple closer to their goals. First of all, all models will have a Dynamic Island design, and the screens of the Pro and Pro Max versions will use a new “low-pressure injection molding technology”, which is called LIPO internally by Apple, which can reduce the border around the screen to 1.5mm, compared to the current The iPhone’s 2.2mm is narrower by 0.7mm, and this technology has actually appeared before, but it’s not the iPhone, but the Apple Watch 7.
According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, he received wind that Apple also plans to bring this screen technology to the iPad, making the frame narrower (although I actually think that there is still a lot of room for narrowing the frame of the iPad today).
In addition to the new screens, the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro series will also have a series of other new features, and it is the biggest upgrade since the iPhone added 5G three years ago.
iPhone 15、iPhone 15 Plus
● The appearance is similar to the current model
● Added major camera improvements
● Switch to the A16 chip of the iPhone 14 Pro series
● Replace with Type C charging slot
● No change in price
iPhone 15 Pro、iPhone 15 Pro Max
● Replace the stainless steel frame that is prone to fingerprints with a stronger, lighter, and more advanced 釱 metal material.
● Keep the frosted glass back
● Internally redesigned to make the phone easier to repair
● Switch to Type C charging slot for faster data transfer
● Upgraded main lens with better optical zoom capability
● Upgrade to significantly faster 3nm chips
● Price increases
● Keep the standard buttons for volume and power, but turn the mute/ring toggle switch into a so-called “action button” — like the one on the Apple Watch — that users can customize through software. MacRumors developer Steve Moser discovered code in iOS 17 that hints at possible options for the button. It suggests that you can choose among several possibilities: a standard silent toggle mechanism, a focus mode similar to Do Not Disturb, activate the camera, turn on the flashlight, or turn on features for accessibility or translated text.
