iPhone 15 Pro renders show off thinner bezels, deeper camera bump and USB-C port

Along with the recent leak of the iPhone 15 Pro/iPhone 15 Pro Max’s reported USB-C port, an in-depth look at what could be the smartphone’s overall design has appeared.

Renders created by freelance 3D artist Ian Zelbo that were first published on 9to5Mac show off the iPhone 15 Pro’s and iPhone 15 Pro Max’s slightly thinner bezels, subtly curved display edges and a USB-C port. On the other hand, the renders don’t feature Power or Volume buttons, so it’s unclear if the designs back up recent rumours regarding the iPhone 15 Pro switching to buttons that don’t actually move.

According to 9to5Mac and Zelbo, these “early CAD drawings are based on information sourced from Apple’s parts suppliers. With this in mind, it’s important to point out that the phone’s design could change before its expected September reveal.

Previous iPhone 15 Pro/iPhone 15 Pro Max rumours indicate that the smartphones will still be available in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch variants, respectively, and that they’ll feature a new A17 Bionic chipset alongside an upgrade to 8GB of RAM and, of course, the switch to USB-C following the EU’s mandate surrounding the port.

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro could feature thinner, curved bezels

Even though the iPhone 15 Pro is several months away from release, that hasn’t stopped leaks from appearing about Apple’s upcoming high-end smartphone.

According to a rumour from reliable leaker ‘ShrimpApplePro‘ (yes, that really is their Twitter handle, and it does include an anime profile photo), Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max could feature thinner, more curved bezels than the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max. This would give the smartphone an almost Apple Watch-like look regarding its overall design.

ShrimpApplePro says the iPhone 15 Pro will still feature a flat display and that only its bezels will be curved, and that this look will also be featured in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. That said, the lower-end iPhone 15 devices won’t offer thinner bezels. Finally, the leaker says that Apple will stick with the same size as the iPhone 14 series for its iPhone 15 lineup, including the ‘Plus’ line.

As cool as curved bezels sound, this could make buying a glass screen protector for the iPhone 15 Pro difficult and expensive. I’ve also never been a fan of the curved glass Samsung’s flagship S series offers and find that it often results in accidental display presses.

Other recent iPhone 15 rumours include Apple possibly ditching the ‘Max’ name for ‘Ultra,’ as well as offering specific features in its larger high-end smartphone, including a periscope lens.

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro could feature volume and power buttons that don’t click

Similar to the move to a physical capacitive Touch ID button that doesn’t click with the iPhone 7, a new report indicates Apple could have plans to take the same route with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max next year.

According to often-reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro devices will ditch clickable volume and power buttons for touch-sensitive buttons that don’t click. This means that the smartphones will feature Taptic Engines “on the internal left and right sides” that provide force feedback when you touch the button.

While a minor change, if the Taptic Engine technology replicates what Apple did with the iPhone 7’s Touch ID button, I don’t have an issue with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max ditching volume and power buttons that physically move.

Along with this change, the iPhone 15 series is expected to switch from Lightning to USB-C, and there are also reports that Apple will offer exclusive features in the iPhone 15 Pro Max that wouldn’t be available with the iPhone 15 Pro.

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max could offer different features

It looks like Apple could be considering more significantly differentiating the iPhone 15 Pro from the iPhone 15 Pro Max, according to a new report from often-reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

In a recent tweet, Kuo says Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro accounts for roughly 60 percent of total iPhone 14 Pro orders, which has resulted in the tech giant rethinking its strategy regarding the larger flagship smartphone.

Kuo goes on to say that demand for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus has been “obviously lacklustre,” which makes sense given beyond the new 6.7-inch Plus, the base-level smartphone is very similar to the iPhone 13.

Kuo doesn’t expand on what Apple could decide to change about the iPhone 15 Pro Max to differentiate it from the iPhone 15 Pro, but it will likely relate to its cameras.

This rumour also corroborates Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman stating that Apple could have plans to adopt “Ultra” instead of Max for the 6.7-inch version of its high-end 2023 iPhone in an effort to make the device more different from its predecessor.

In the past, Apple has offered exclusive features in the larger Max version of the iPhone, including specific camera functionalities, though more recently, both Pro devices have been identical.

Apple’s iPhone 15 series is expected to ditch the long-running lightning port for USB-C, and the ‘Dynamic Island‘ will reportedly make its way to the entire lineup.

Of course, since both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Ultra are likely a year away from release, Apple’s plans for both devices could change significantly in the coming months.
