A chaotic caller rumor circulating astir Twitter claims that Apple mightiness beryllium exploring a tiny but important plan alteration with the upcoming iPhone 15 series. Known leaker ShrimpApplePro (@VNchocoTaco) has it that the
iPhone 15 could follow a broadside framework that's curved towards the backmost alternatively of being level arsenic successful the
iPhone 14 generations.
This could bring the iPhone 15 bid successful enactment with Apple's latest plan developments. The latest MacBook Pro utilizes a alternatively akin plan language, which employs a broadside framework that has a close space connected 1 broadside and somewhat curves to the other, likewise to a "J". Interestingly, the "unapologetically plastic"
iPhone 5c from astir a decennary agone has a akin design, with a level show and curved back. Could we perchance spot a instrumentality to this paradigm, but way, mode much premium?
As a refresher, Apple is nary alien to backtracking its plan decisions, nary substance however well-received those are. Although the latest iPhone plan with its concern edges seems to beryllium universally loved, Apple comes from years upon years of curved framework designs that started disconnected with the iPhone 6 and peaked with the iPhone 11. However, Apple had dabbled with concern chamfered edges instantly earlier that, and the
iPhone 5 and
iPhone 5s transportation a batch of that aforesaid beloved plan DNA that tin beryllium seen successful Apple's astir caller iPhones.
So the caller iPhone 15
From the aboriginal accusation that I have, the iPhone 15 volition diagnostic a caller borderline design. The backmost borderline country (as pointed retired successful the images) volition beryllium rounded and not quadrate anymore.
The worldly besides volition beryllium titanium.

Such a plan would bring the champion of some worlds together: the blase super-premium looks of the level existent plan paired with the objectively amended ergonomics of the somewhat curved backmost design, which wouldn't cave into your thenar arsenic much.
ShrimpApplePro besides has it that Apple mightiness usage titanium alternatively of stainless alloy with the iPhone 15. With titanium being super-premium, we expect that lone the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra could perchance follow a titanium frame, portion the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus mightiness follow stainless alloy frames, levelling-up from the aluminum
iPhone 14 and
iPhone 14 Plus. We don't spot Apple shying distant from utilizing solid backs connected its aboriginal iPhones fixed however invested Cupertino seems to beryllium with MagSafe, and MagSafe wouldn't play good with thing other but glass.
Titanium is somewhat starting to play a tiny but important portion wrong the immense Apple family. For example, the
Apple Watch Ultra, is lone disposable successful titanium, and could perchance beryllium utilized arsenic the litmus trial to gauge involvement successful much premium materials for the iPhone lineup.
Still, the leaker mostly advises that his words should beryllium taken with caution and a pinch of salt, arsenic it's inactive alternatively excessively aboriginal to gully definite conclusions astir the upcoming iPhone 15 procreation (although Apple has surely locked down everything astir the task already).
So far, we expect 4 caller iPhones to beryllium unveiled successful September 2023: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and an iPhone 15 Ultra. The Dynamic Island punch-hole cutout is expected to grace each 4 upcoming models, and reportedly ProMotion is coming connected each models arsenic well. The
iPhone 15 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro are, of course, the astir intriguing caller devices to expect, and rumors person it that
both mightiness driblet the hardware measurement and powerfulness buttons for capacitive ones, likewise to the mode iPhone 7 dropped the hardware location fastener for a static one. Of course, arsenic already confirmed, each aboriginal iPhones volition travel with USB Type-C alternatively of Lightning ports astatine the bottom.
