The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro are expected to have an early lead in volume, indicating higher demand for these models.

All new iPhone 15 models will feature Dynamic Island, not just the Pro models, according to analyst Ross Young.

Apple has been working on a new design for the iPhone 15 lineup, although the inclusion of solid state volume buttons with haptic feedback has been scrapped.

Instead, the iPhone 15 will introduce an Action button that replaces the mute/ring switch.
