V. READING COMPREHENSION
Apple in September 2022 released the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro models, but we've been
hearing rumors about the iPhone 15 since well before the latest iPhones became available
for purchase.
The iPhone 15 is a few months away, but it's hard for Apple to keep secrets about the
iPhone lineup because there are so many different suppliers involved, some of whom end
up leaking information. We are expecting a total of four iPhone 15 models in the same sizes
as the iPhone 14 models, including two 6.1-inch iPhones and two 6.7-inch iPhones. One of
the 6.1inch iPhones will be the standard iPhone 15, while one of the 6.7-inch models will be
an iPhone 15 "Plus". The other 6.1 and 6.7-inch iPhones will be higher-end and more
expensive "Pro" models. rumor (n): tin đồn purchase (n,v): mua bán
