Apple iPhone 15 Launch Live Updates: And just like that, it’s that time of the year again. Apple’s big fall iPhone event day is officially here. Dubbed “Wonderlust”, this year’s Apple event will likely see Cupertino take the wraps off four new iPhones— possibly— and going by convention, it should call them the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The big new update will be the long-overdue switch to USB Type-C of course and we can’t wait to see how Apple PR repackages and sells it to would-be buyers.
Other rumoured updates to keep an eye out on would be a bumped up 48-megapixel primary camera sensor in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus while in the case of the high and mighty iPhone 15 Pro Max, we’re expecting Apple entering the periscope-style telephoto, which has been a Samsung-dominated turf so far. A price increase, especially for the pro models, may be on the cards, too. For those in India, we’ve just got news that Apple is ready to ship made-in-India iPhone 15s on launch date for the first time in history even as China moves aggressively to ban use of iPhones among government entities.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has hinted at a potential price hike with iPhone 15 series due to inflation and several other economic factors. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus versions could come at a similar pricing as the 14 and 14 Plus or go up slightly. However, in the case of iPhone 15 flagship variants like the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the pricing is expected to see a major hike, and reports also hint that the iPhone 15 Pro Max could be the “costliest iPhone ever”.
The iPhone 15 Pro models have long been rumoured to come with a new “action button”. This button is set to replace Apple's hallmark mute switch. Hours ahead of launch, we've got confirmation that the action button is real and happening, courtesy popular case maker brand Spigen.
Apple is apparently prepping a big surprise for India with new iPhone 15 in that it is looking to ship made-in-India units locally as well for some global markets on launch date. This will be a first for Cupertino and reflects on India’s growing manufacturing prowess.
Apple is hosting an in-person event for the press though like every year, the event will also be available to watch online. In India, it will kick off at 10:30 PM. You can watch the event live on Apple website as well as the company's YouTube channel.
