The glass curves slightly around the edges, creating a more seamless transition to the frame. The frame itself is also more curved than before, resembling the design of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros and new M2 MacBook Air.
These deeper curves will be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro models, and the iPhone 15 models will continue to look like the iPhone 14 models with flatter edges, an aluminum frame, and a glass front and back. We are not expecting the same slimmer bezels for the standard iPhone 15 models.
It is revealed that the iPhone 15 series will feature curved edges instead of going for flat ones. The display will be flat, though.
Apple switches up the design of the iPhone every few years, and it turns out we may be stuck in a flip-flop pattern there as well. After three years of flat edges on the iPhone, it looks like the company is returning to curved edges again with the iPhone 15 series.
With the iPhone 15 switching to USB-C, several Apple accessories are expected to follow suit: EarPods. AirPods Charging Cases. MagSafe Battery Pack.
Switching to USB-C would imply giving up yet another piece of control over what iPhone owners can do with their devices outside of Apple's tight ecosystem. And, as we've seen time and again, Apple is averse to allowing this.
Unfortunately, the iPhone 14 lineup does not include a USB-C port. Like previous years, the 2022 iPhones also ship with the Lightning port for charging and data syncing. That includes all four iPhones in this year's lineup, including the Pro models.
According to renowned analyst of Apple products Ming-Chi Kuo and other industry insiders, Apple is working hard to develop its first foldable mobile device by 2025. An official release date, however, remains uncertain.
It is still uncertain if the base iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will receive thinner bezels, but the Pro models are said to be coming with bezels as thin as 1.5mm. If this comes to fruition, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max would have the thinnest bezels ever on an iPhone, according to Phone Arena.
The problem, which was dubbed "Bendgate," where iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus handsets would bend during normal day-to-day usage was widely reported, but which at the time Apple downplayed.
While this doesn't sound like a lot, it will be the first increase in the default iPhone screen size since the iPhone 11 launched in 2019. Moreover, it's just half the story. Side-by-side comparisons of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro CADs suggest the Pro is even larger, so it may have a 6.3 or 6.4-inch display.
The iPhone 14 Pro display. The iPhone 15 Pro will have thinner bezels than the iPhone 14 Pro, and have curved edges, a leaker claims, with the non-Pro models also gaining the celebrated Dynamic Island feature.
Thanks to fresh renders, we can now tell that the most notable change on the iPhone 15 is the new Dynamic Island, replacing the notch on last year's model. First introduced with the iPhone X, the notch has been a staple on the vanilla iPhone models ever since, although the iPhone 13 lineup did shrink its size.
In a research note this month, obtained by MacRumors, Long said he expects the iPhone 15 Pro to cost up to $100 more than the iPhone 14 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max to be $100 to $200 more expensive than the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Last month, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reiterated that the periscope lens will enable up to 5x-6x optical zoom when shooting photos with the rear camera on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, compared to up to 3x on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
As per Tom's guide, Apple has made many changes to iPhone 15 Pro's design. A new image has also surfaced and the leak shows that the power and volume buttons are tweaked and are positioned lower than in the iPhone 14 series. We can also see the USB-C charging port in the new iPhone 15 series.
The iPhone 14's screen is 6.1 inches, but several reports suggest that the iPhone 15 will be 6.2 inches. This change in size won't drastically impact much about the phone, but it's worth keeping in mind for those who are debating between picking up the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, which features an even larger screen.
A 48MP iPhone 15 camera will still likely be a slight upgrade on the 12MP snapper found on the iPhone 14, even if it doesn't match the cameras of the Pro models. This would also make for a larger sensor than the 1/1.7-inch one used by the iPhone 14.
The increased thickness is largely the result of rear camera improvements on the iPhone 14 Pro models, which feature an upgraded 48-megapixel Wide lens and enhancements to the Ultra Wide and Telephoto lenses.
iPhone 14 durability test reveals surprises
In fact, the iPhone 14 didn't bend in the test. This means you can forego your worries when carrying this in your pockets.
iPhone Flip release date speculation
The launch date of the iPhone Flip is open to speculation, but the latest rumors are pointing toward a 2024 launch. Display analyst Ross Young, who has a track record for being accurate with such tips, has suggested Apple could introduce a foldable iPhone in 2023.
Foldable Phones Are Expensive and Lose Value Quickly
The latter might sound reasonable since it matches the price of a modern flagship, but the Flip is full of compromises like poor battery life, fragile display, high repair costs, and more.
Yes, you can charge your iPhone 14 model with your old charger provided you already have a previously used iPhone or iPad with a lightning cable.
Money. In a world full of USB C ports, iPhone users have to buy a separate cable to charge their phones. They have to shell out even more funds if they wish to connect their iPhone to other devices. And, since Apple only allows company-certified cables and adapters, it pockets a sizable cut for all these accessories.
Apple has adopted USB-C for MacBooks but, unlike nearly all Android handset makers, Apple uses the Lightning connector for the iPhone, because it gives the company more control.
