The proximity sensor on the iPhone 15 series will be integrated inside the Dynamic Island area, instead of located beneath it, according to a new tweet by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The proximity sensor assists in turning off the screen whenever you pick a call and rest it on your ear.
“In the iPhone 14 Pro, the proximity sensor is located under the display (outside the Dynamic Island),” he says. “Conversely, in the iPhone 15 series, the proximity sensor is situated within the Dynamic Island, with almost no change to the Dynamic Island area.”
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:

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

° 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 standard iPhone 15 models may lack support for ProMotion and an always-on display.
° The iPhone 15 Pro models will see a price increase due to several rumored hardware upgrades.
