For $529 With the release of the iPhone 15 series, Apple's official website removed the iPhone 13 mini, ending the mini product line. However, now refurbished iPhone 12 mini have appeared on the official Apple website in the US. The 256GB version costs $529. This is the only compact flagship iPhone that users can currently buy through official channels [caption id="attachment_80482" align="aligncenter" width="780"] iPhone 12 mini[/caption] The company began selling refurbished iPhone 12 mini The main reason for the abandonment of the iPhone mini line was poor sales. According to research organization Statista, in December 2020, the iPhone 12 mini accounted for only 6.5% of sales of that line. In March 2021, iPhone 12 mini sales fell further, accounting for only 4% of sales. iPhone 13 mini is the latest model in the line. With the 14th series, Apple replaced the mini model with the Plus.

Rumors about the new line continue to spread iPhone 16 smartphones may be equipped with an additional button, as Macrumors writes. In addition, Apple is also planning to move the mmWave antenna away from the left side of the smartphone to accommodate this change. The iPhone 16 Pro's "action button" is expected to be flush with the device as Apple is expected to switch to solid-state technology and ditch the current design. While the action button is expected to change, the volume keys and power keys will remain the same without any changes. These buttons are not currently solid state, although Apple's plans may change. iPhone 16 may get an additional button, and the action button will become solid-state [caption id="attachment_77874" align="aligncenter" width="780"] iPhone 16[/caption] The purpose of the additional button, which sources call the “capture button,” is still unknown. It is expected to be located under the power button on the right side of the device and will be capacitive. Macrumors claims that the new button will be introduced on all iPhone 16 models, including the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models. The announcement of the iPhone 16 is expected in September next year.

Before this, prices were reduced by third-party stores Due to increasing competition, Apple has officially announced the first price reduction for the flagship line of iPhone 15 smartphones. Let us remember that sales began at the end of September. Since the release of the iPhone 15, prices have been reduced several times in third-party stores, but this is the first time that the price of the iPhone 15 has been reduced in the official store. Starting October 29, Apple's flagship store on JD.com is offering $110 off iPhone 15 purchases, with a maximum discount of $82 on iPhone 15 Pro purchases. [caption id="attachment_77004" align="aligncenter" width="780"] iPhone 15 smartphones[/caption] Apple could not withstand competition and for the first time reduced prices of iPhone 15 smartphones in China It should be noted that in some third-party stores, the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 256 GB is already offered for $1,240, while before the official reduced price on the official website, it was $1,365. The lowest starting price of the standard version of the iPhone 15 with 128 GB of flash memory in unofficial stores dropped to $710, which is almost $150 less than Apple. The latest research indicates that weak demand in the Chinese market will impact Apple's earnings in the first quarter of 2024, with iPhone 15 sales declining.

The company's share fell by 10% The latest research indicates that weak demand in the Chinese market will impact Apple's earnings in the first quarter of 2024, with iPhone 15 sales declining. Chinese buyers are mainly choosing the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which may increase the average selling price, but it is mainly owners of the iPhone 12 and older devices who are switching to the new line. Users using iPhone 13 and newer models believe that the update is not necessary. Sales of the iPhone 15 in China did not turn out to be record-breaking, in particular due to competition from Huawei. Many users have chosen Mate 60 and Mate 60 Pro. Apple has sharply lost ground in China. New iPhone didn't help [caption id="attachment_76638" align="aligncenter" width="780"] New iPhone[/caption] JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee also noted in the latest report that enthusiasm for the iPhone 15 series has begun to wane. Data shows that iPhone 15 series delivery times have been decreasing for four weeks in a row.

[caption id="attachment_75972" align="aligncenter" width="780"] iPhone 15[/caption] Apple's official customer service stated that the back panel of the iPhone 15 series smartphones is made of glass, so it can actually be broken easily. According to Apple, the use of glass material is intended to better dissipate heat and ensure normal use of mobile phone functions. Apple recommended using a protective case.

The company promises to solve the problem with a patch Apple acknowledged a problem that became known at the beginning of the month: wireless charging in BMW cars disabled the NFC chip integrated into the smartphone. Now there are many more details on this matter. [caption id="attachment_75520" align="aligncenter" width="780"] BMW iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro[/caption] It's not just BMW that breaks the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro In a notice to authorized service centers, Apple said that problems occur with all models in the line: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max. True, we are not talking about any physical destruction of the chip - we are only talking about temporarily disabling NFC capabilities. However, because of this, a person cannot use Apple Pay and CarPlay, and even worse, the digital key stops working. The problem affected not only BMW but also Toyota - at least it refers to the Supra model, which... was created jointly with BMW. Apple promised to solve the problem with a patch for iOS - it may be designated iOS 17.1.1 or iOS 17.2. Well, until the update is released, Apple suggests temporarily not using the car’s built-in wireless charging.

The younger iPhone 16 will also receive 8 GB of RAM The iPhone 15 line has just entered the market, and the Internet is increasingly discussing the iPhone 16. Analyst Jeff Pu from Haitong International Securities revealed some of the characteristics of future Apple smartphones. For example, according to the source, the older iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max (or Ultra) will receive support for Wi-Fi 7 and a new 5G modem. Today there was also information that it will be the Snapdragon X75 5G. [caption id="attachment_68062" align="aligncenter" width="780"] iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max[/caption] The new products will also receive a new sensor for the ultra-wide-angle camera. Moreover, it’s not only about the new sensor but also about the resolution. Apple will also upgrade this camera to a 48-megapixel sensor, like the main one last year. iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will receive a 48-megapixel wide sensor The source also says that the new iPhone Pro will become larger, but we have heard this more than once. The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to have a 6.3-inch screen, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max screen will grow to 6.9 inches. The youngest of the Pro models in the next generation will also receive a “telephoto” with tetraprism, like the iPhone 15 Pro Max, but we also heard this before. But the new models will no longer have RAM: the volume will remain 8 GB. As for the base iPhone 16 and, accordingly, the iPhone 16 Plus, the devices will still lack telephoto and autofocus for the ultra-wide-angle camera. The smartphones will receive the Apple A17 SoC and 8 GB of RAM. In addition, younger new products will be content with Wi-Fi 6E.

The differences between the younger iPhone and Pro have become much greater The iPhone 15 Pro and base iPhone 15 models differ in many ways. This year the list of differences has expanded significantly. Among other things, the devices now have different Wi-Fi modules. [caption id="attachment_55496" align="aligncenter" width="780"] iPhone 15 Pro[/caption] iPhone 15 Pro finally gets Wi-Fi 6E, but iPhone 15 gets Wi-Fi 6 and USB 2.0 While the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus still only support Wi-Fi 6, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max gain Wi-Fi 6E support. Yes, there are already devices that support Wi-Fi 7, but for now this is more of an absentee support. Thus, at the moment, the older new generation iPhones finally have the most current version of Wi-Fi. At the same time, let us remind you that although all new products received USB-C, younger iPhones are limited to the USB 2 standard, that is, there are no differences from Lightning, except for the port. But the iPhone Pro received support for USB 3.0, and the controller is integrated directly into the SoC A17 Pro.

This is a new camera The most problematic module of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the supply of which is difficult, is currently the compact tetraprism camera module (CCM). This was reported by the famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo on his blog. Apple has decided to improve the performance of the tetraprism lens exclusively supplied by Largan. Due to the sudden increase in lens requirements and the urgent need to meet supply volume demands, Largan urgently expanded its tetraprism lens production lines. Given the increased production challenges and the need to dedicate more resources, the unit price of the tetraprism lens has sharply increased by more than 20%, which will significantly increase Largan's revenues and profits. The most problematic module of the iPhone 15 Pro Max has been named [caption id="attachment_57078" align="aligncenter" width="780"] iPhone 15 Pro[/caption] Both the iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro are expected to feature tetraprism telephoto lenses. Largan is likely to retain its status as the exclusive or primary supplier of tetraprism lenses next year. The second supplier could be Genius. iPhone 15 sales will start on September 22.
