Apple’s iPhone 15 range is allegedly changing shape, and the first images look stunning. Now a new leak means we know more about it.
Speaking to me, a well-known anonymous Apple insider LeaksApplePro has provided new context for Apple’s iPhone 15 design plans and its material limitations. And you must remain cautious but optimistic.
Flat-edge iPhone 15 Ultra concept based on leaks
Last month, influential leaker ShrimpApplePro set tongues wagging when he revealed that “all edges will be rounded” on the iPhone 15 models, a design that will harken back to 2013’s iPhone 5C. From an ergonomic point of view, this design was one of Apple’s best, but this was forgotten when the iPhone 5C was launched with an insulted cheap plastic back.
However, Apple is going a very different route with the iPhone 15 models. In October, LeaksApplePro revealed that Apple will launch a new iPhone 15 Ultra in titanium, something ShrimpApplePro later said could come to all models . But LeaksApplePro has now issued a note of caution.
Exposing Apple’s internal discussions, the leaker says that curved edges are not guaranteed to come to the iPhone 15 lineup at this stage. Instead, they are currently under intense scrutiny, but no final decision has been made by senior management.
Curved edges on an Apple iPhone 15 Ultra based on recent leaks
This is interesting because iPhone models are usually locked more than a year in advance. That said, it makes sense given the uncertainty that lingers in Apple’s supply chain, with the company likely to deploy both preferred (ambitious) and fallback (conservative) designs.
Clearing up some confusion about Apple’s switch to titanium, LeaksApplePro also said that glass will still be used for the back of all iPhone 15 models because it’s essential for wireless charging. Although this is not surprising, some doubts had been raised due to the use of metal and plastic backs on many of Apple’s previous more curved iPhone models.
Ultimately, as long as it’s logistically possible, my real feeling is that Apple will bring back the curves in the iPhone range, even if they’re limited to the iPhone 15 Ultra. Following the introduction of Dynamic Island with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, the front of iPhones is a lock for the foreseeable future, meaning the only areas for differentiation are the sides and back. However, rumors of a dual front camera for the Pro models persist.
Additionally, iPhone 15 models are expected to ditch Lightning in favor of USB-C (a year ahead of the EU’s legal deadline), upgrade their main cameras, and replace their predecessors’ physical power and volume buttons. them with taptic alternatives. On the other hand, rising component costs can result in much higher prices than you expect.
