Apple is gearing up for the much-anticipated launch of the iPhone 15 Series, with an event slated for September. The rumor mill surrounding this latest iPhone iteration is buzzing, and the spotlight is currently on the System on Chip (SoC) that will drive these devices.
According to speculation, the iPhone 15 Series is set to debut with two distinct SoCs: the A16 and A17. It seems likely that the A16 will find its home within the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models, while the A17 is poised to power the Pro variant.
The Leaks via tvOS 17 Beta Details about the upcoming series have been gradually unfolding through Apple’s own tvOS 17 beta. Within this context, the documentation sheds light on the entire range of SoCs that will grace the iPhone 15 Series.
In terms of identification, the tvOS 17 beta names for the iPhone 15 series include iPhone15,4, iPhone15,5, iPhone16,1, and iPhone16,2. The speculations strongly point to iPhone 15,4 and iPhone 15,5 representing the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus respectively, while iPhone 16,1 and 16.2 could potentially signify the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Ultra.
This narrative seems to align given that the beta codes within tvOS 17 also refer back to the previous generation iPhone model, the iPhone 14 Pro, featuring the A16 SoC, which was then denoted as “iPhone 15,x.”
Conversely, models at the lower end, equipped with the A15 SoC – such as the iPhone 13, 13 Pro, 14, and SE 3rd Gen – bear the identification “iPhone 14,x.”
Nevertheless, these conclusions remain unofficial until Apple’s official announcement. For now, all eyes are on September for the unveiling event, where we can expect a more detailed picture to emerge.
