New Apple Leak Exposes iPhone 15 Design Shock - Forbes

Apple’s iPhone 15 scope is allegedly changing shape, and the archetypal renders look stunning. Now a caller leak means we cognize much astir it.

Speaking to me, fashionable anonymous Apple insider LeaksApplePro has provided caller discourse connected Apple’s iPhone 15 plan plans and its worldly limitations. And you should stay cautious, but optimistic.

Last month, influential leaker ShrimpApplePro acceptable tongues wagging erstwhile helium revealed that “all the edges volition beryllium rounded” connected iPhone 15 models, with a plan that volition hark backmost to the 2013 iPhone 5C. Ergonomically, this plan was 1 of Apple’s best, but that was forgotten erstwhile the iPhone 5C launched with a reviled inexpensive integrative back.

However, Apple is going a precise antithetic mode with iPhone 15 models. In October, LeaksApplePro revealed that Apple volition motorboat a new iPhone 15 Ultra successful titanium, thing ShrimpApplePro aboriginal said may travel to each models. But LeaksApplePro has present issued a enactment of caution.

Exposing Apple’s interior discussions, the leaker states that curved edges are not guaranteed to travel to the iPhone 15 lineup astatine this stage. Instead, they are presently nether beardown consideration, but nary last determination has been made by elder management.

This is absorbing due to the fact that iPhone designs are usually locked down much than a twelvemonth successful advance. That said, this makes consciousness fixed the uncertainty that persists successful Apple’s proviso chain, with the institution apt putting some preferred (ambitious) and backup (conservative) designs successful place.

Clarifying immoderate disorder astir Apple’s modulation to titanium, LeaksApplePro besides said that solid volition inactive beryllium utilized for the backs of each iPhone 15 models due to the fact that it is indispensable for wireless charging. While this is not surprising, immoderate uncertainty had arisen owed to the usage of metallic and integrative backs successful galore of Apple’s erstwhile curvier iPhone designs.

Ultimately, arsenic agelong arsenic it is logistically possible, my gut feeling is that Apple volition bring curves backmost to the iPhone range, adjacent if they are constricted to the iPhone 15 Ultra. Having introduced Dynamic Island with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, the beforehand of iPhones is simply a fastener for the foreseeable future, meaning the lone areas for differentiation are the sides and back. However, rumors of a dual beforehand camera for Pro models bash persist.

In addition, iPhone 15 models are expected to drop Lightning successful favour of USB-C (one twelvemonth up of the EU ineligible deadline), upgrade their superior cameras, and regenerate their predecessors' carnal powerfulness and measurement buttons with taptic alternatives. On the flip side, rising constituent costs whitethorn effect successful much higher prices than you expect.
