iPhone 15 Series Design Highlights Tipped Way Ahead Of Launch
The biggest shock about the iPhone 15 change first. In a tweet, ShrimpApplePro says, “All I can say that iPhone 15 now looks more Android than ever.”
The leakster suggests that the iPhone 15 models will have the same display sizes as the iPhone 14 series. The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to have thinner bezels with curved edges. However, the display will still be flat, it will be just the bezels with curves. Notably, the leakster compared it with the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The edges are said to create the same effect as on the Apple Watch, where Apple uses subtle curves to make the display look like it is spilling over the sides of the watch. This is a popular trend on Android smartphones, which is where we suspect the comparison comes from.
According to a new leak, the vanilla iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are said to receive Dynamic Island and curved edges, while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are tipped to sport thinner bezels in addition.
All four devices in the iPhone 15 lineup are said to feature the same display sizes as their iPhone 14 counterparts. The iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, however, are said to feature much thinner bezels, so the overall footprint of the devices could be a tad bit smaller than the iPhone 14 models.
The iPhone 15 models on the other hand, are said to feature the newly introduced Dynamic Island, which was exclusive to the Pro models in the iPhone 14 series.
ShrimpApplePro says that iPhone 15 displays will be the same size as the iPhone 14 series (6.1 and 6.7-inches) and use Ceramic Shield glass. The leaker states that their source sees no difference in the size of the front-facing camera hole on standard iPhone 15 models and believes there will be no upgrade here.
Despite an outlandish moniker, ShrimpApplePro has a strong track record and was the first leaker to reveal the new pill-shaped cut-out in iPhone 14 Pro models, which ultimately housed the Dynamic Island. The leaker also expects the iPhone 15 comes with solid state volume & power buttons ,something now widely reported by other sources.
iPhone 15 series prices increase, Apple needs to capture fans’ attention, and it appears that the look of these phones will be one way the company goes about it — for better or worse.
Apple might change a lot of things by the time the iPhone 15 series launches. In any case, it will not hurt to see curved edges and smaller bezels in the upcoming iPhone series.
iPhone 15 Pro models vs iPhone 15
The iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to get much better upgrades to distinguish them as much as possible from non-Pro models. The leaks suggest that in addition to the 3x telephoto lens, the top-end model of the series, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will get a 6x periscope lens.
Not just that, the Pro models will be upgraded to a new 3nm Apple A17 chipset, a previous report by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo confirmed. All iPhone 15 models will get USB-C ports. Moreover, the Pro models will be made of titanium cases instead of stainless steel.
Moreover, the iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to have virtual volume and power buttons with haptic feedback, similar to the Home button on iPhone SE.
