Why iPhone 15 needs to be irresistible

ISRO is attempting to land a spacecraft on the moon's south pole, a mission that could advance India's space ambitions and expand knowledge of lunar water ice, potentially one of the moon's most valuable resources.

iPhone 15 series is expected to launch next month in September. However, there are various speculations about the launch date, prices, specs, features and more. While iPhone users are eagerly waiting for Apple to announce the launch date, tipsters are outing details every day that have generated quite a lot of curiosity. It is rumoured that the iPhone 15 Pro models might get a price rise and be costlier than their iPhone 14 counterparts.

The eSIM technology is evolving and more and more smartphone companies are adopting it. At present, only premium smartphones offer the eSIM functionality, but it could trickle down to the lower segments too if this growth continues. Apple made a shocking move last year as it announced that the iPhone 14 handsets sold in the US will be eSIM only, removing the physical SIM slot altogether. Thus, it left people wondering whether the upcoming iPhone 15 series would make this move globally.

The countdown to the release of the Apple iPhone 15 launch has begun, with expectations soaring for the September 2023 launch. Four models are set to debut in the lineup: the standard iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The iPhone 15 series will be launched with Apple seeing a big slowdown in sales in the US as well as a global smartphone slowdown. In effect, that means, Apple will have to make sure its Pro smartphones pack the kind of game-changer tech that fans have come to expect from the tech major rather than the relatively minor changes that have been rolled out over the last few years.

The smartphone industry is going through somewhat of a slump of late and brands across the world have been struggling to weather the storm. According to reports, the global smartphone export estimates have taken a hit, with experts predicting a 6 percent drop in shipments. As a result, it is expected to be the worst year in a decade for smartphone manufacturers. This problem has hit the big tech companies like Apple as well, with the company accepting that “the smartphone market has been in a decline for the last couple of quarters in the United States.” That bodes ill for the iPhone 15. The Cupertino-based tech giant is set to launch its next smartphone during its Apple event on September 12. While it is expected to encourage users in the Apple ecosystem to upgrade their devices, the current slowdown in sales has still got most analysts worried.

Craig Newmark is a rare tech billionaire who doesn't see the value in status symbols like a Porsche or Rolex, a symptom of what he comfortably calls his "nerdly dysfunction."

It's shaping up to be another dismal year for the smartphone market, with shipments on track to be the lowest over the past decade, according to Counterpoint Research. 

Apple iPhone 15 launch is in sight, but it seems like it could be affected by supply-chain problems from the get-go. iPhone 15 launch date is speculated to be between September 12 and 13. However, this wouldn't be the first time that these issues have plagued the launch of Apple's new devices. When the company launched its iPhone 14 series last year, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max saw lengthy waiting periods of up to 5 weeks as the production of both these models took a hit due to COVID-19 restrictions at its Zhengzhou factory in Central China. This issue, combined with the global semiconductor shortage, hugely affected the iPhone's supply.

In what is seen as a first, Apple iPhone 15 mass production has started in Tamil Nadu, India. This is the first time that an iPhone has started being manufactured in India before it has actually even been announced by the company, MacRumors reports. And this is a step that will worry China as it indicates India's rising status in the tech manufacturing segment that it had been controlling for so long. For Apple, this is the best way to protect its manufacturing base after the fiasco that happened during and even after the Covid-19 epidemic in China when its entire supply-chain was disrupted.

We first saw a glimpse into the next major OS update for iPhones, iOS 17, at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. Ever since then, many iPhone users across the globe have been waiting to try their hands on the new features and check out the upgrades that it will bring. And after a few phases of developer beta testing, iOS 17 has entered public beta. This means that the global release of the stable version is not too far away. But just how long do people have to wait to get it? Apple has not released any official timeline, however, there is still a way to know the approximate date for its release.

The summer of 2023 looks starkly different than the summer of 2020. Three years ago, protestors across the United States turned out by the thousands to protest the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor by police. Their activism was a reaction to the inequities inflicted on Black people in the United States—largely by the police, but also in almost every other aspect of civil society.
