With the iPhone 15 announcement likely to be mere weeks away, you might be wondering what the iPhone 15 screen sizes are likely to be. We've already seen rumors about the new models having USB-C for faster and more convenient charging. There are rumors about the iPhone 15 colors too.
However, one of the most exciting features is the chances of Dynamic Island coming to all iPhone 15 models. It's something that was previously only available on the iPhone 14 Pro
With all this in mind, we need to talk about the different screen sizes and display technology in the upcoming iPhone 15. Here’s a look at the iPhone 15 display rumors to get a glimpse of what the newest iPhones could look like.
iPhone 15 display & sizes
What will the iPhone 15 screen sizes be?
According to DSCC analyst Ross Young, Apple is set to bring the Dynamic Island to all iPhone 15 models, not just the Pro, as was the case with iPhone 14.
However, even with the Dynamic Island across all iPhone 15 models, it's looking unlikely that the iPhone 15 will gain a 120Hz refresh rate or an Always-On Display, which is unfortunate as those are key reasons to upgrade to the Pro line.
That means if you want Pro Motion, you'll more than likely need an iPhone 15 Pro.
If Apple continues the trend of this year’s iPhone 14 lineup, we can expect 6.1-inch iPhone 15 and 15 Pro models alongside a 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The iPhone 14 lineup houses Super Retina XDR displays with HDR and True Tone alongside the P3 Wide color gamut and peak brightness at 1200 nits. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, on the other hand, give users an even brighter display with 2000 nits peak brightness.
The iPhone 14 range have great OLED panels so if the iPhone 15 lineup continues that trend, there won't be much to be disappointed about here.
New images from leaker Ice Universe also show thinner bezels on all of this year's iPhones which is very exciting as this could mean slightly larger displays. While the Pro models look to have even thinner bezels, the regular iPhone 15 and 15 Plus have also evolved to a more streamlined edge.
Could there be an iPhone 15 always on display?
Current signs suggest that the standard iPhone 15 won't get an always-on display. The reasoning behind this according to leaks is that the iPhone 15 won't have an LPTO display which is required to enable ProMotion.
Some concessions could be made through iOS 17's StandBy mode but it sounds like you'll only enjoy an always-on display when in that mode rather than in general.
Potentially, production constraints may be limiting Apple in extending an always-on display to more iPhone 15 models.
An always-on display carries a lot of benefits for anyone just glancing at their phone, and with it already on pricier models and the more recent Apple Watch models, it feels like a frustrating omission.
60Hz in 2023? Really?
If rumors are correct and the regular iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models lack 120Hz displays like their Pro siblings, then it's a real disappointment for a flagship device in 2023.
Almost every Android phone within a similar price range offers 120Hz and an always-on display. If the base iPhone 15 lacks either, it really needs to be at a lower price point to be competitive.
These are all rumors though, and there's still always time for Apple to surprise us.
