Apple fans who are waiting for the iPhone to go through a drastic redesign may end up disappointed, as the iPhone 15 might look mostly similar to the iPhone 14. But there is a rumor from a leaker named ShrimpApplePro claiming that the iPhone 15 Pro design may be slightly different, with thinner bezels and curved edges, though the display will remain flat.
That prospect of thinner bezels was reinforced by ShrimpApplePro in early March, with the tipster tweeting a short video clip described as “the real-life video of the front glass panel of the iPhone 15 series.”
According to Twitter user IceUniverse, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will also be breaking records with its new, super-thin bezel. The current record belongs to the Xiaomi 13 with a 1.81mm bezel, but the iPhone 15 Pro may have a 1.55mm bezel, which is significantly thinner than the current iPhone 14 Pro Max with a 2.17mm bezel. Even the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S23 have a 1.95mm bezel, so the iPhone 15 Pro Max would have one of the thinnest bezels on a smartphone yet if this is true.
While the Dynamic Island pill-and-hole cutout was exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro models, Apple looks to be expanding that to all iPhone 15 models. A render from 9to5Mac shows how the upcoming iPhone 15 would look with a Dynamic Island.
The leftmost panel and middle panel are likely for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, respectively. Both appear to have noticeably thinner bezels than their iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max predecessors. Meanwhile, the rightmost panel has a slightly thicker bezel and is most likely the display panel for the regular iPhone 15. Furthermore, the video shows that all models of the iPhone 15 will be getting the Dynamic Island.
On the camera front, the only things that we know are that Apple has been working on periscope lens technology, which may only end up on the larger iPhone 15 Pro Max model. Also, the base iPhone 15 is expected to keep the dual-camera layout, with lidar remaining Pro-exclusive.
continue the button saga of the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro, a new report from 9to5Mac, which comes from a reputable MFi accessory maker, showed off a more updated CAD rendering that has two physical volume buttons rather than the single elongated button we’ve been seeing from before.
After all, Apple is currently in the Engineer Validation Test (EVT) phase, so any previous leaks on the design could be changed during this time, and that certainly seems to be the case. Due to the complexity of needing three haptic engines for a solid-state button, and the possibility of a single elongated button not working out either, Apple may have just said “forget it” and gone back to the regular, two physical button design for the volume buttons. You know what they say, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Apple may still use the solid-state buttons in a future design but needs more time to work out the kinks.
However, the plans for the mute switch change to an Action button don’t seem to have changed.
