In a series of tweets, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models will have improved LiDAR scanners that offer better battery life and improved performance.

The iPhone 15 line-up will probably debut in September or October. Here’s a round-up of some of the other rumors about them:

° The line-up will have thinner bezels.

° Pro models may pack 8GB of RAM.

° Only the highest-end model will sport a periscope lens.

° The iPhone 15’s volume button and power button will adopt a solid-state button design (similar to the home button design of iPhone 7/8/SE2 and 3) to replace the physical/mechanical button design.

° The iPhone 15 pack a USB-C port, and multiple camera improvements.

° The iPhone 15 and ‌iPhone 15‌ Pro’s USB-C port and accompanying charging cables will feature a Lightning-like authenticator chip, potentially limiting their functionality with accessories that aren’t Apple-approved.

° The iPhone 15 Pro will be offered in a “stunning new dark red color option.”
