No big hopes in innovation.

iPhone 15 seems very similar in terms of specs to iPhone 14

(though they will likely improve a bit this relatively "meh" camera that has some weaknesses to focus at short distance without external apps like Halide)

and iPhone 14 was already quite similar to iPhone 13

They're pretty incremental changes year by year, but it should be a solid bump if your phone is a few years old.

If they really will have a model with a periscope lens for the camera, I would be pretty interested. Of course it will likely only be in the huge 15 Pro Max model, which is annoying difficult to lug around.

The sensor size for periscope lenses are so small that even the flagship Sony Xperia 1 V's periscope lens with a Sony sensor produces garbage pictures. How Apple solves this will be interesting.

How do you know what it comes with yet?

Because Apple leak it all summer to build up the hype!

I tend to believe the specialists who are running Apple-related news websites.

Many of these sites have deep connections within Apple, their suppliers and partners, and can give rather accurate predictions (especially now that the phones are actually already produced).

I have an iPhone 13. When I upgrade (which will not be this year) I will get all the features in between, which means that it will be a substantial upgrade.

But it will feel less than that, because I have read so many of them in between.

Still I am looking forward to the action button.
