As I understand it a price increase is expected with the "Pro"/"Ultra" models? So they'd want stuff like this to make the phone feel more exclusive/premium I guess.

Fine by me, what I'm more interested in is whether the standard iPhone 15 will finally be a decent phone again. The non-Pro iPhone 14 feels so gimped with its 60 Hz screen, non-autofocus ultrawide lens (for "macro photos") etc. Let's hope we get a good phone at that lower (but not low, especially in Europe) price point.

My hope is that features like the one mentioned here will set the Pro version apart as opposed to purposefully gimping the standard model.
