Apple, the renowned smartphone manufacturer, is poised for the unveiling of its highly anticipated iPhone 15 series at the grand Wonderlust event scheduled for today. This live broadcast event, originating from Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, will commence at 10:30 PM Indian Standard Time. Expectations are high for additional significant releases, such as the Apple Air Pods and the latest generation of smartwatches.

According to the Urban Dictionary, "wonderlust" is defined as "the desire to be in a constant state of wonder." It appears that Apple, under the leadership of Tim Cook, aims to captivate its user base with a continuous sense of amazement through this year's exciting product launches.

During the event, Apple will also unveil the official release dates for iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, and tvOS 17, which were initially introduced at the company's WWDC 23 event in June of this year.

Historically, Apple's September events have been reserved for the introduction of major hardware, prominently featuring the latest iPhone lineup. This year's iPhone 15 series will encompass the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max models.

According to recent reports, the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro will weigh 18 grams less than its predecessor. It is also anticipated to have a slightly increased thickness compared to the iPhone 14 Pro, measuring 8.25mm as opposed to its predecessor's 7.85mm.

Notably, Apple supplier Foxconn is set to commence shipping Made in India iPhone 15 units shortly after their release from Chinese factories. This marks a strategic expansion of Apple's manufacturing beyond China.

Apple has reportedly secured a patent for achieving a matte black finish on anodized surfaces, suggesting the potential for future matte black iterations of iPhones, smartwatches, tablets, and laptops. The patent outlines a unique method involving light-absorbing attributes and infused color particles, with a focus on achieving a true black color rather than shades of gray or blue.

While there were speculations about a potential price hike for the iPhone 15 Pro due to these enhancements, recent reports indicate that it is likely to maintain its starting price of $999, possibly attributed to upgraded RAM.

Furthermore, Apple intends to continue offering the iPhone 14, iPhone 13, and iPhone 14 Plus models at a more affordable price point following the launch of the iPhone 15 series. According to 9to5Mac, it is also expected that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 13 Mini models will be phased out.
