The series would include iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max. The launch of these smartphones is scheduled for September. Ahead of the launch, the CAD renders of the iPhone 16 Pro series smartphones were leaked. These smartphones will launch in September 2024, and the camera design and specifications were also tipped recently. Many reports regarding the upcoming 15 series smartphones revealed the design, CAD renders, and more. A new report from ChargerLab has revealed the wireless charging support of vanilla 15. We’re currently looking forward to Apple’s annual iPhone refresh — the iPhone 15 — likely to be revealed in September. Leaks and rumours have provided valuable insight into the direction Apple is taking with its upcoming smartphone lineup. A report originating from ChargerLab now suggests that the Cupertino-based electronics giant will offer the Qi2 wireless charging standard on the next-gen iPhones, unlocking 15W wireless charging for non-MagSafe chargers. We’re taking this revelation with a grain of salt, given that the WPC (Wireless Power Consortium) took the wraps off the latest Qi2 charging standard only recently at CES 2023. As iPhone users are likely aware already, the existing crop of iPhones, such as the iPhone 14, only supports 15W wireless charging on MagSafe-supported accessories. The phones can only charge at 7.5W while using a standard third-party Qi wireless charger. If true, this move would signal a drastic shift in how Apple handles third-party charging accessories. The company usually likes to hold a firm grip on third-party accessories, restricting users to either buying an expensive MFi or Apple-certified product or facing the risk of not being able to use the device to its full potential. A potential game-changer for third-party wireless chargers? With the rumoured inclusion of the Qi2 wireless charging standard on the iPhone 15, a wide range of manufacturers would be able to sell supported chargers at a fraction of the MagSafe accessory’s price. As we mentioned above, it’s too early to jump to conclusions since Apple usually isn’t the quickest to launch a newly released tech. But we’re hopeful to see this on board, considering the fact that other smartphone makers have long breached the 15W wireless charging barrier. Other features like Dynamic Island and a USB-C port for charging and data transfer are also expected to be on board the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models this year. Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s rear camera setup could feature a new periscope lens, pushing the device’s camera credentials even further while slightly tweaking the arrangement of the sensors. Apple iPhone 15 Tipped Features and Specifications The report reveals that Apple will support Qi2 wireless charging standards on the upcoming smartphone. Industry sources revealed the information regarding the support to ChargerLab. The support for Qi2 wireless charging standard means that the phone will support 15W wireless charging on non-Magsafe chargers. IPhone 14 series smartphones only support 7.5W wireless charging on non-Magsafe chargers. The previous limitation on wireless charging speed is similar to the restriction of non-MFi-certified products. MFi is a certification introduced by Apple where manufacturers are required to obtain a license to manufacture accessories for Apple. The introduction of support for the Qi2 standard will bring down the cost of wireless chargers to one-third of Magsafe chargers. The wireless charging manufacturers wouldn’t be required to obtain MFi certification, which will help them to keep the costs low. The Qi2 standard already supports wireless charging in iPhones. An official announcement from Apple is required to know the exact charging speed of Qi2 wireless chargers. Recently, a report revealed that Apple would upgrade the primary rear camera sensor on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus smartphones. Apple used a 12MP sensor with the vanilla models since the launch of the iPhone 6S. The upcoming vanilla models will feature a 48MP sensor introduced with iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. The upcoming smartphones would also be eligible for 48MP ProRAW mode. The devices are also tipped to feature a three-stacked sensor to improve image quality. A report has revealed that the vanilla models won’t feature support for 120Hz ProMotion display. However, Apple will ditch the traditional notch with a Dynamic Island seen on the iPhone 14 Pro series smartphones. The display panel of the vanilla 15 was leaked recently, revealing the Dynamic Island. The upcoming iPhones would be the first to sport a USB Type-C port instead of the traditional lightning port. Apple is expected to announce iOS 17 at the WWDC 2023, scheduled for June 5. The upcoming iOS 17 is expected to bring many new features to iPhones. Another report revealed that Tata Group would also manufacture the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models in India. The company recently acquired Wistron’s factory, which is planning to exit from the Indian market. iPhone 15 to Support 15W Wireless Fast Charging Using Third-Party Chargers That Aren't MagSafe Certified Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 models will support 15W wireless fast charging even when using third-party chargers that are not MagSafe certified, claims a new rumor coming out of China. Apple's official MagSafe magnetic wireless charger or a third-party magnetic charger with official MFM (Made for MagSafe) certification are required to achieve 15W wireless fast charging on the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and iPhone 14. If using a standard Qi-certified wireless charger, these models top out at 7.5W. However, according to a Weibo post picked up by news aggregator account "yeux1122" on the Korean Naver blog, the iPhone 15 series will be capable of open 15W wireless magnetic charging using non-MFM certified chargers, which are usually more affordable alternatives to those with Apple certification. The rumor has not yet been verified as coming from a reliable source, but the claim does make sense given that Apple is contributing to a new version of the Qi open standard that works much like MagSafe. Announced in January 2023 by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), the next-generation Qi2 wireless standard incorporates a Magnetic Power Profile, which means that devices that adopt Qi2 in the future will use the same magnetic technology used in MagSafe devices created for the iPhone 12 and later. The WPC says that the Magnetic Power Profile in Qi2 will make sure that phones and other battery-powered mobile products are perfectly aligned with chargers for improved energy efficiency and faster charging. Qi2 smartphones and chargers are expected to be available starting in the 2023 holiday season. Apple's decision to make MagSafe technology available to all devices that support Qi2 wireless charging would seem in direct contrast to its position on USB-C. The iPhone 15 is expected to feature a USB-C port instead of Lightning, which will allow it to comply with new regulations implemented in Europe. But according to rumors, iPhone 15 models will only officially support USB-C accessories certified by the Apple Made for iPhone (MFi) program, which could be used to limit features like fast charging and high-speed data transfers to Apple-approved accessories. Apple's iPhone 15 series is expected to be announced during the usual September timeframe. Faqs 1) Rumor: Apple’s Upcoming iPhone 15 to Support 15W Fast Charging With Non MagSafe Wireless Chargers.Details? Ans) A new rumor claims Apple will allow its iPhone 15 lineup to support 15W fast charging with non-MagSafe wireless chargers. Currently, only Apple-approved wireless chargers can support 15W fast charging, while Qi chargers have been limited to a maximum of 7.5W. Apple’s MagSafe charging system has been capable of 15W wireless charging ever since it first debuted alongside the iPhone 12 lineup. To enable fast charging, Apple requires users to use its own power adapter or a compatible third-party USB-C power adapter that supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD).” Now comes a rumor from leaker “yeux1122” saying that the company is dropping its requirement for those “comparable” adapters to be approved by Apple. “The Apple iPhone 15 series is said to be capable of open 15W wireless fast charging even if it is not a certified wireless charger,” writes the leaker in a blog post. The post includes a screenshot showing the news in Chinese. A machine translation says the Chinese source says the news comes from “charging head network,” presumably the manufacturing supply chain. If the rumor is correct, the change may be related to the Qi2 charging standard. (A photo on the post page shows a small photo of a Qi2 wireless charging pad.) Also, in January, the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) announced that its next-generation Qi charging technology will incorporate Apple’s MagSafe magnetic charging functionality. Qi2 is a new unified wireless charging standard that incorporates a Magnetic Power Profile, which means that devices that adopt Qi2 in the future will use the same MagSafe magnetic technology that is available in Apple’s MagSafe devices, such as the iPhone 12 and later. The WPC says that the Magnetic Power Profile in Qi2 will make sure that phones and other battery-powered mobile products are perfectly aligned with charging devices providing energy efficiency and faster charging. Qi2 will allow for new accessories that would not be chargeable using existing flat surface-to-flat surface devices. Qi2 will enable faster charging for some devices. It will also pave the way for significant future increases in wireless charging speeds that are safe, and energy-efficient and won’t shorten battery life or damage a user’s phone. The Qi2 standard will debut later this year, and it will replace the current Qi standard. Qi2 smartphones and chargers are expected to debut during the 2023 holiday season. Wireless charger makers (and perhaps consumers) will benefit financially from getting Qi2 certification rather than a MagSafe certification through Apple’s MFi (Made for iPhone) program. That’s because the required hardware for MFi certification runs about $16 per charger. 2) Apple iPhone 15 May Support 15W Wireless Fast Charging Without MagSafe: Report Ans) Apple is reportedly preparing for the release of its highly anticipated iPhone 15 series in September 2023. Recent rumors originating from China suggest that the upcoming iPhone 15 models will offer support for 15W wireless fast charging, eliminating the need for MagSafe-certified chargers. This means that users will be able to achieve faster wireless charging speeds using third-party chargers that lack official MagSafe certification. According to MacRumors, vurrently, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and iPhone 14 models can only achieve 15W wireless fast charging with Apple’s official MagSafe charger or third-party chargers carrying the official MFM (Made for MagSafe) certification. When using standard Qi-certified wireless chargers, these models are limited to a maximum charging speed of 7.5W. The rumor suggests that the iPhone 15 series will be capable of reaching 15W wireless magnetic charging using non-MFM certified chargers, which are typically more affordable alternatives to those with Apple’s official certification. Although the rumor’s source has not been verified, the claim aligns with Apple’s involvement in the development of the next-generation Qi2 wireless standard, the report said. The Qi2 wireless standard, announced by the Wireless Power Consortium in January 2023, incorporates a Magnetic Power Profile similar to MagSafe. This new standard ensures better alignment between devices and chargers, leading to improved energy efficiency and faster charging speeds. Qi2 smartphones and chargers are expected to be available starting from the 2023 holiday season. Apple’s potential decision to extend MagSafe-like functionality to all devices supporting Qi2 wireless charging appears to be in contrast to its stance on USB-C. The iPhone 15 is said to feature a USB-C port, aligning with new regulations in Europe. However, these details have yet to be confirmed officially, MacRumors reported. Meanwhile, Apple is gearing up to unveil iOS 17 at the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference, starting with the keynote event on June 5, 2023. One of the notable features expected in iOS 17 is an updated Lock Screen interface that transforms the iPhone into a “smart-home display."
