Additionally, Pu also indicates that the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will likely see the A16 Bionic alongside 6GB of RAM. Interestingly, Pu also expects all four new devices to feature USB-C ports, as well as Qualcomm Snapdragon X70 modems.

In terms of other rumors for the Pro series, Pu also expects the devices to feature a titanium frame, as well as haptic feedback in thanks to two additional Taptic Engines for the solid-state volume and power buttons.

Looking Ahead

Alongside these predictions, Pu also believes that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature the widely rumored periscope lens for the main camera.

With the iPhone 15 series likely seeing announcement in September, more rumors will likely develop. While MacRumors maintains that Pu has a mixed track record in regard to Apple rumors, it is likely best to take things with a grain of salt until the actual date of announcement draws closer.
