A series of pre-production dimensions and weights of the new iPhone 15 models have been obtained by the mighty Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, who has stated that the iPhone 15 Pro could be up to 10 percent lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro.
The dimensions and weights appear to be as follows:
iPhone 15 dimensions and weight:
- Thickness: 7.8mm
- Length: 147.6mm
- Width: 71.6mm
- Weight: 171 grams
iPhone 14 dimensions and weight:
- Thickness: 7.8mm
- Length: 146.7mm
- Width: 71.5mm
- Weight: 172 grams
According to industry sources, the iPhone 15 is said to continue to use the exact same chassis material as the iPhone 14 — 6013 T6 Aluminum. With no significant differences in materials and no noteworthy structural changes, it’s easy to see why the weight of the standard iPhone 15 is close to that of the iPhone 14.
It’s also thought that the size difference between the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 14 Plus is minimal at best. No major design changes, structural changes, or changes in materials are expected, and the iPhone 15 Plus will also likely have a weight similar to that of its predecessor.
iPhone 15 Pro dimensions and weight:
- Thickness: 8.25mm
- Length: 146.6mm
- Width: 70.6mm
- Weight: 188 grams
iPhone 14 Pro dimensions and weight:
- Thickness: 7.85mm
- Length: 147.5mm
- Width: 71.5mm
- Weight: 206 grams
The iPhone 15 Pro is rumored to be up to 18 grams lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro given a change in materials. Industry sources were able to verify that Apple is using Grade 5 Titanium for the iPhone 15 Pro, which represents a notable departure from the stainless steel used on every Pro iPhone thus far. Grade 5 Titanium, also known as Ti-6Al-4V, is a titanium alloy used in a variety of industries and is widely known for its excellent corrosion resistance.
The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to have thinner bezels due to the use of advanced display technology known as LIPO, an acronym for “low-injection pressure over-molding”. First mentioned by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, and since independently confirmed by MacRumors, the use of LIPO technology for iPhone 15 Pro displays is expected to reduce the bezel size from the current 2.2mm to approximately 1.55mm.
iPhone 15 Pro Max dimensions and weight:
- Thickness: 8.25mm
- Length: 159.9mm
- Width: 76.7mm
- Weight: 221 grams
iPhone 14 Pro Max dimensions and weight:
- Thickness: 7.85mm
- Length: 160.7mm
- Width: 77.6mm
- Weight: 240 grams
At present, this is all pre-production information, and may not reflect units seen in the mass-production process. Slight differences may occur between this and the final result.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
