Apple analyst confirms iPhone 15 series’s proximity sensor will be shifted

The AAPL upcoming smartphone lineup, the iPhone 15 series, has already created a buzz in the market. An Apple analyst says that the proximity sensor in the iPhone 15 will get a location shuffle.

What Happened: Ming Chi Kuo, a notable analyst at TF International, took to Twitter on Friday to share findings about a new update.

Kuo confirmed a leak about all iPhone 15 models with the Dynamic Island feature, along with some additional information about the placement of the proximity sensor. He said that in the iPhone 14 Pro the proximity sensor is located under the display outside the dynamic island. Conversely, in the iPhone 15 series the proximity sensor is located within the dynamic island, with almost no change to the Dynamic Island area. Why It is Important: Apple moved the proximity sensor under the display and beneath the main cameras previously in the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It was previously part of the sensor family within the Face ID notch. This move made the required cutout size smaller, allowing the iPhone 14 Pro model's new Dynamic Island notification activities alert system to be alerted, according to Tom's Guide.

The iPhone 15 lineup is expected to be released later this year. The device is rumored to feature A 17 Bionic Chipset, HD Photography capabilities, switch to solid-state buttons from physical ones and have an expensive price tag.
