Following previous reports indicating that the iPhone 15 Pro would feature unified buttons with haptic feedback, it seems that Apple has gone another route for this year’s model.
Per 9to5Mac’s Ian Zelbo, who shared 3D renders from what he calls “an extremely reputable source” regarding Apple’s plans for the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.
Apple is thought to have opted for a similar approach to what it delivered with the iPhone 14 Pro, albeit with a twist: The mute switch will be replaced by a mute button, which could add additional functionality, such as an Apple Watch Ultra-like Action Button. Where the regular iPhone 15 models are concerned, Apple would retain the same buttons as seen with the iPhone 14 series.
The 3D renders also show that the iPhone 15’s camera bump may have changed. Zelbo pointed out that the protrusions are “far less comical,” or at least more subtle. He also noted that the iPhone 15 Pro Max render has an “ever so slightly larger camera bump,” which could help corroborate rumors that Apple is planning to add a periscope lens to this model with up to 6x zoom.
The CAD file also seems to corroborate the design shown by previous CADs, such as narrow bezels, a USB-C port, and a far more rounded frame of the device compared to the iPhone 14 Pro.
It’s also rumored that the iPhone 15 models could feature additional changes, such as a new design with a Dynamic Island cutout, a main lens of 48MP, and the shift from a Lightning port to USB-C.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
