The iPhone 14 series began at $799 in the United States, and the base model was set at Rs 79,900 in India.
SUMMARY
• The pricing for the non-Pro models is expected to remain the same as last year.
• The iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to get a significant price hike
• The iPhone 15 Pro models will get a new titanium frame and Pro Max will get a major camera upgrade.
Apple is introducing the new iPhone Pro models tonight at a launch event. Months of leaks and reports have finalised the picture of the next phones. The price, on the other hand, remains a mystery. According to sources, the prices of models sold in the United States would be raised. But what about the cost of living in India?
The iPhone 14 series began at $799 in the United States, and the base model was set at Rs 79,900 in India. Pricing for non-Pro versions is expected to remain unchanged from last year. According to that logic, the iPhone 15 Plus will cost Rs 89,900.
Let's move on to Pro. The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to have a $100 price hike, likely starting at $1099 in the United States. In India, expect a price increase of at least Rs 10,000 above last year's model. The iPhone 15 Pro Max might experience an even higher price increase, potentially landing at $1299 in the United States, and Indian purchasers might experience a significant increase from the prior year.
These are the expected launches at Apple's event
Users will most likely see a new iPhone 15 line-up. This will include the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Like every year, the business is likely to continue the iPhone 14 tradition. This suggests that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro may have 6.1-inch displays, while the iPhone Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max may have 6.7-inch displays. Thinner bezels could be another design update.
Due to European Union rules, Apple could drop the Lightning connector in favour of USB Type-C charging with the iPhone 15 series. There is also a rumour that regular iPhone 15 devices may have limited charging speeds and will require Apple-certified cords. The top two models, the iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max, are expected to have quicker data transfer speeds.
Apple will also likely unveil two versions of its wearable device, the Watch. Apple Watch Series 9 and the all-new Ultra are likely to have new hardware and a faster refresh rate on the screen. The Watch Series 9 is projected to come in 41-millimetre and 45-millimetre sizes, while the Watch Ultra 2 will come in 49-millimetre sizes.
According to reports, the AirPods will acquire new features such as the ability to mute and unmute (a function known as conversational awareness). In addition, to replacing the existing Lightning port, these new devices are expected to have USB Type-C charging.
The company will also reveal official delivery dates for iPhones, iPads, Watches, and televisions, as well as major hardware upgrades and the latest generation of its operating system, iOS17.

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus Changes
The basic iPhone 15 models will get significant upgrades. Say goodbye to the familiar notch that has been with us since the iPhone X series, and hello to the Dynamic Island, which was first seen in last year's Pro model. This modification promises to increase screen real estate while decreasing bezels. According to sources, the primary camera would be upgraded from 12 MP to 48 MP. The A16 Bionic chipset, which powered last year's Pro versions, will power these smartphones. Plus, expect a change: both non-Pro and Pro models are expected to use the USB Type-C connection instead of the Lightning cable.
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
The Pro models will include a new titanium frame that will replace the stainless steel frame, promising sturdiness without adding weight. In fact, the phones should be reduced by 10% of their weight. In terms of cameras, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a periscope lens with 5x-6x optical zoom. Even the Pro models will transition to USB Type-C connections.
