iPhone 15: latest news, rumors and everything we know so far
Several months have passed since the launch of Apple's iPhone 14 line, so it's high time we looked ahead to what the iPhone 15 might bring to the mobile table in 2023.
Indeed, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro leaks are now appearing in earnest, with rumors concerning everything from the phones' display and camera credentials to their price and availability. We're also hearing that an iPhone 15 Ultra could be arriving in place of a Pro Max iPhone this year, which could really shake things up.
So, to give you an early idea of what to expect from Apple's next vanilla iPhone, we've put together this one-stop-shop guide to all the latest news, rumors and predictions, which we'll be updating with new information throughout the year. For a rundown of how the iPhone 15 might compare to the iPhone 14, read our iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14 comparison piece.
Rumors indicate that the iPhone 15 will inherit the 48MP main sensor boasted by the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Cut to the chase
- What is it? Apple's 2023 base-level smartphone
- When is it out? Likely September 2023
- How much will it cost? Possible price increase over iPhone 14
IPHONE 15 RELEASE DATE
- Likely to launch in the first half of September
- The shipping date will probably be a week or so later
We haven't heard any iPhone 15 release date or launch date rumors yet, but that's to be expected – they rarely occur more than a month before the launch event itself.
For the iPhone 14, that event fell on September 7, with three of the four phones going on sale over a week later, on September 16 (and the iPhone 14 Plus on October 7). Apple generally picks the first or second week of September for its launches, and usually opts for a Tuesday, though occasionally goes for a Wednesday event.
In 2023, that means September 5 or 12 are quite likely launch days for the iPhone 15 (both are Tuesdays), though September 6 and 13 are possibilities, too.

- Pricing expected to be similar to last year
Naturally, we don’t yet know the price of the iPhone 15, but we can make an educated guess at the figure using the launch prices of the iPhone 14:
- 128GB: $799 / £849 / AU$1,339
- 256GB: $899 / £959 / AU$1,579
- 512GB: $1,099 / £1,179 / AU$1,899
We expect the iPhone 15 to match the iPhone 14, so a starting price of $799 / £849 / AU$1,339 seems likely. That said, other manufacturers – including Samsung and Oppo – have opted to forgo 128GB storage options with their respective 2023 flagships, so the iPhone 15 could start at $899 / £959 / AU$1,579 (for the 256GB model), instead.
