iPhone 15 Design Changes: What to Expect
Apple is known for its conservative approach to design, with major visual changes being few and far between. On average, Apple tends to stick with the same aesthetic for at least a couple of generations, before transitioning to a new look.
According to most rumors, however, this year will be big for the iPhone as the iPhone 15 lineup will introduce some ostensibly notable design changes to the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max (or iPhone 15 Ultra). This includes curved edges, smaller bezels, a titanium frame and, naturally, a bigger camera bump.
In a video, Japanese website Mac Otakara carried out an interesting experiment, which was subsequently covered by MacRumors in a dedicated article. It involved putting side-by-side what we assume are accurate iPhone 15 dummies (at least based on the current leaks) and cases compatible with the current iPhone 14 lineup.
The result – only the iPhone 15 Plus model was compatible with the case of the current iPhone 14 Plus. This means that the tweaks could be more significant in real life, than on paper. Additionally, in all likelihood, cases for the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will, once again, be incompatible with the new generation smartphones.
While that might be a bummer for some, when it comes to new flagship launches, there is nothing quite as exciting as a design revamp. The thing is, smartphones have gotten really good under the hood lately, and the visual aspect plays an increasingly more prominent role in drawing in potential buyers.
Luckily, the iPhone 15 lineup will deliver. While the vanilla versions will miss out on the new aesthetic, they will be adopting the Dynamic Island of this year’s Pro iPhones. This means there will be a little something for everyone that is in the market for an iPhone 15.
Are you excited for the iPhone 15 lineup? We certainly are! According to rumors, Apple is set to introduce some major design changes to the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max (or iPhone 15 Ultra). This includes curved edges, smaller bezels, a titanium frame and a bigger camera bump.
But what does this mean for current iPhone 14 users? In a recent experiment by Japanese website Mac Otakara, it was found that only the iPhone 15 Plus model was compatible with the case of the current iPhone 14 Plus. This suggests that the design changes could be more significant in real life than on paper.
While it may be disappointing for some that cases for the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will likely be incompatible with the new generation smartphones, a design revamp is always exciting for new flagship launches. And with smartphones becoming increasingly powerful under the hood, the visual aspect plays an even more important role in attracting potential buyers.
Thankfully, the iPhone 15 lineup will deliver. While the vanilla versions may miss out on the new aesthetic, they will be adopting the Dynamic Island of this year’s Pro iPhones. So, there will be something for everyone in the market for an iPhone 15. Stay tuned for more updates on the iPhone 15 lineup!
