TECH - Will iPhone 15 Be A Meaningful Upgrade? KeyBanc Analyst Weighs In On Main Features Carrier Deals | Benzinga
With the iPhone 15 launch just a day away, expectations and rumors concerning the next iteration of Apple, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) flagship hardware device are coming in thick and fast.
In a note published on Monday, KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst John Vinh weighed in on various aspects of the newest iPhone.
Meaningful Upgrade: Vinh expects the iPhone 15 to represent a meaningful upgrade cycle from a features perspective, with key upgrades in Pro series models likely to be:
- a new 3nm A17 processor
- Periscope lens for the Pro Max
- Wi-Fi 6E
- Mixed-material casting, comprising titanium and aluminum
The analyst also expects the regular iPhone 15/15 Plus to have feature upgrades such as the A16 processor, dynamic island, and USB-C port.
Despite the major upgrades, builds will likely be down by 4% year-over-year in the second half versus the iPhone 14 series, Vinh said. He blamed it on the lower CIS yields at supply chain partner Sony.
