If you’re wondering, “What could they possibly bring to the table with the next iPhone?” you’re not alone. The air is rife with anticipations and we’ve got them sorted so you know what to expect.

More Colors for Expressing YOU
Apple seems poised to redefine smartphone aesthetics by introducing a palette that’s as diverse as it is elegant. While the classic black remains an option for those who prefer understated elegance, Apple is embracing a more expressive side with a range of effortlessly stunning choices. I am pro-color, afterall, if you are looking at something all day, it should be pleasant to look at! Here are the colors we’re likely to see:
Pink
For the individuals who embrace their inner Barbie or Ken, this shade is a perfect way to show off that you are “Kenough”
Green
A soothing sage-like green will appeal to those seeking a more grounded, nature-inspired vibe.
Yellow
This bright but subtle yellow will effortlessly brighten your day.
Blue
Find tranquility and composure with a calming blue hue that’s perfect for all situations.
The Action Button Takes Center Stage
Appearance isn’t the only thing getting an upgrade. The iPhone 15 Pro models are rumored to say goodbye to the mute switch button in favor of an “action button.” What’s an action button, you ask? It’s a hardware shortcut that you can customize to perform up to nine different functions based on your preferences. These functions include accessibility, shortcuts, silent mode, camera, flashlight, focus mode, and more. The action button promises to be a versatile addition to your iPhone’s functionality.
The USB-C Revolution
According to Electron-To-Go, 54,000 metric tons of chargers are wasted each year. And that only counts for 0.1% of the total 53.6 million metric tons of our annual e-waste! These insane numbers have caught the attention of many. Europe has already taken action with a mandate requiring that a range of electronic devices, including mobile phones, have a USB-C port has forced Apple to conform. We can expect the iPhone 15 to have a USB-C port, and every iPhone after that too. While it may evoke a sense of déjà vu for those who remember the shift from the wide flat port to the Lightning connector in 2012, it’s a change with several compelling advantages.
Pros:
- Reduced Electronic Waste: Embracing USB-C aligns with Apple’s commitment to sustainability by reducing electronic waste.
- Universal Compatibility: USB-C is already widely adopted across various devices, enhancing convenience and flexibility.
Cons:
- Obsolete Charging Cords: Your old Lightning connector cords will no longer have a purpose, which means it’s time to bid farewell to those tangled cords in your drawers and glove compartments.
- Cost of Replacement: Acquiring new USB-C charging cords may require a modest investment initially, but the long-term benefits outweigh this inconvenience.
The transition to USB-C may feel overwhelming, but it’s a positive step toward a more efficient, environmentally friendly, and convenient charging experience. According to Apple, the switch to type C is one of their environmental goals, here they state, “As part of our efforts to reach carbon neutrality by 2030, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max do not include a power adapter or EarPods. Included in the box is a USB‑C Charge Cable that supports fast charging and is compatible with USB‑C power adapters and computer ports” (Apple, 2023). In time we’ll find ourselves with fewer cords, less waste, and a simpler, more streamlined electronic ecosystem.
So, as you prepare to welcome the iPhone 15 into your life, remember the benefits that come with this change. You’ll be able to minimize to one cord, contribute to a greener world by recycling old cords, and perhaps even find a new use for that old cord bin that’s been hiding in your closet.
