The upcoming iPhone 15 is expected to feature Apple’s Bionic A16 chipset, which was introduced in the iPhone 14 Pro model last year.

US-based tech giant Apple is planning to manufacture some models of the upcoming iPhone 15 series in India to reduce its dependence on China for production. The iPhone 15 is expected to launch in September this year.

A new report has come in that suggests that Apple will be partnering with the Tata Group to assemble the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus in the country. According to Trendforce, the Tata group will be the fourth company after Foxconn, Pegatron and Luxshare to make iPhones for Apple.

The Tata group has acquired the Indian production line of Wistron, the largest conglomerate in India that will assemble the iPhone 15 series. This comes as Wistron is reportedly preparing to exit the Indian market, paving the way for Tata to become the new contract partner for iPhone production in the country.

The upcoming iPhone 15 is expected to feature Apple’s Bionic A16 chipset, which was introduced in the iPhone 14 Pro model last year. The new strategy is to give the latest chipset in the Pro model, while the standard model gets a year old chipset.

The iPhone 15 may also feature a 48MP primary camera at the back, which is a major upgrade from the 12MP sensor seen on the current iPhone model. However, features like the telephoto lens or LiDAR for optical zoom may only be available in the Pro model

In addition, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature a “periscope lens,” a technology that’s currently exclusive to high-end smartphones from the likes of Samsung, Google, and Huawei, MacRumors reported. .

The periscope lens will be exclusive to the high-end iPhone 15 Pro Max and will enable 5-6x optical zoom. The periscope lens is expected to be integrated into the telephoto lens of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, allowing up to 6x zoom when capturing photos with the rear camera.
