All iPhone 15 Models to Get Apple’s Dynamic Island, iPhone 15 Pro May Sport Titanium Frame: Gurman

Apple is expected to offer the Dynamic Island feature that made its debut on its current generation iPhone 14 Pro on all four iPhone 15 models. This feature is designed to make the most of the space that was wasted around the notch on the front that houses the TrueDepth sensor. Dynamic Island can display notifications and can be used, among other things, to control music streaming when apps add support for the feature. It was introduced with the iPhone 14 series, but was limited to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models.

Mark Gurman suggests in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter that all four iPhone 15 models will be equipped with Apple’s Dynamic Island. There will reportedly be no change in the screen sizes of these handsets from the current generation models. The iPhone 15 series also comes with a USB Type-C port in compliance with the EU common charger legislation.

The Cupertino company is also said to have replaced the stainless steel frame with a titanium frame on the Pro models. These phones are expected to be powered by a chipset that is faster than the Apple A16 that powers the current generation of Pro models. A recent report suggests that the alleged Apple A17 chipset may use TSMC’s 3nm process for up to 35 times more power efficiency.

Gurman claims that Apple has spent most of its resources preparing its mixed-reality headset launch for a possible unveiling at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. As a result, the software department is reportedly prioritizing the headset’s own xrOS operating system. Apple is believed to have several hardware and software bugs on this headset.

This reallocation of resources also reportedly cost iOS 17 a few new features, according to Gurman. Codenamed Dawn, this new operating system could now only offer a few major changes; iPadOS 17 and macOS 14 may also suffer the same fate.
