Talking Tech: The iPhone 15 is coming. Here's everything we know about it
Happy Thursday, Talking Tech readers! It's Brett Molina back on this final day of August ready to deliver this week's top tech headlines. And also counting down until the start of football.
For sports fans, September is football season. If you love fall, September might be pumpkin spice season. But if you are a fan of tech, and especially Apple, it's iPhone season.
Apple made that official on Tuesday, announcing plans to introduce its next iPhone on Sept. 12. The event will be streamed from Apple's campus starting at 1 p.m. ET.
Let's do a little "Apple math" here. Disclaimer: None of this is official.
Based on previous history, Apple typically rolls out preorders for the iPhone the Friday after their event. The following Monday, the latest version of iOS launches, then we get the iPhone in stores the following Friday.
Going off that logic, we should see iPhone 15 (we'll call it that unless Apple throws a curveball) preorders open up on Sept. 15. We should then see iOS 17 launch Sept. 18, then the iPhone 15 hits stores on Sept. 22.
So what will the new iPhone offer? Reports suggest a USB-C charging port to replace the Lightning port, which makes sense in light of a new European Union law requiring all mobile devices support USB-C. We'll likely see subtle improvements to the camera and processing chip, and it's rumored the Pro and Pro Max will feature titanium frames.
As always, Paste BN will have you covered on all things iPhone. Stay tuned.

One more thing
This is certainly a Whopper of a lawsuit: Burger King faces a class-action complaint accusing the fast food giant of false advertising. The reason? Allegations of falsely inflating the size of their Whopper sandwiches. The suit claims Burger King shows Whoppers twice as large in advertisements compared to their real size. Burger King wants a judge to dismiss the case.
That's a wrap. Thanks for reading!
