Apple iPhone 15 Mass Production to Commence from August; Report Says

According to Haitong International Tech Research's Jeff Pu, Apple is anticipated to introduce its upcoming iPhone 15 series and commence large-scale production possibly from next month. It's also expected that this all-new iPhone Pro series will be launched with exciting and different specifications compared to last year's iteration.

iPhone 15 Pro Max series would exclusively feature a new periscope zoom lens. It means that iPhone 15 Pro Max will come mated with the best camera setup in the entire iPhone 15 lineup, as reported by 9to5Mac.

Typically, most iPhone series' Pro and Pro Max variants have almost identical specifications other than the screen and battery size. Analyst Jeff Pu said this year's iPhone 15 would have a new periscope zoom lens, while other models will not feature it.

A recent report on the upcoming iPhone 15 series claims that Apple will launch this handset in a new "Crimson" color option. In the report by 9to5Mac, this new color option will be lighter than the current purple color offered in iPhone 14 Pro lineup. Apple is also gearing up to unveil a new Green color for iPhone 15.

The largest and most renowned manufacturing partner of Apple Inc, Foxconn, has recently found hiring talents for the world's largest iPhone manufacturing plant in Zhengzhou, China, before the official announcement of the upcoming iPhone 15 series launch.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is also expected to launch three new smartwatches, along with its iPhone 15 lineup, by this year. These three Apple smartwatches have the codename N207, N208, and N210, respectively. Out of these, one smartphone is expected to be Apple Watch Ultra 2, while the remaining ones be categorized as Apple Watch Series 9. Apple may introduce these smartwatches by September to continue its launch tradition.
