Thinner Bezels Unveiled

Phone manufacturers are currently striving to maximize screen real estate on their devices while minimizing the thickness of bezels. Apple is also embracing this design philosophy, and rumors suggest that the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models will feature even thinner bezels than the previous generation.

Specifically, a previous report indicated that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will sport bezels measuring just 1.5mm, making them the thinnest-bezeled phones to date.

New Rounded Edges and Frame Design

Since the iPhone 12 series, Apple has transitioned to using flat-edged frames for its lineup. This change has given their phones a more robust, masculine look, but its downside is a somewhat uncomfortable grip.

Therefore, current sources indicate that Apple will introduce some improvements to the frame of this year's iPhone lineup. Firstly, they will feature a slightly curved frame at the bottom, the part that makes contact with the back, providing a more comfortable grip. The upper part of this frame will still be flat-edged, giving a robust and sturdy feel.

Additionally, some leaks suggest that Apple will utilize a new lightweight and durable titanium frame for the iPhone 15 Pro models.

Dynamic Island

Dynamic Island was one of the standout features of the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max last year. Reports this year indicate that Apple will bring this new pill-shaped punch-hole design to all four iPhone 15 models. This means that both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will support Dynamic Island, bringing incredibly engaging interaction capabilities.

USB-C Port

One of the biggest design changes for the iPhone 15 lineup this year is Apple's shift to using USB-C ports to replace Lightning. This could bring improvements in charging speed and data transfer, but this upgrade may only apply to the higher-end iPhone 15 Pro models.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models are said to have data transfer speeds similar to the previous generation.

Farewell to the Silent Switch, Welcome Action Button

According to recent leaks, Apple may ditch the iconic silent switch from the iPhone lineup, to be replaced by an Action Button on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. This button will operate similarly to the Apple Watch Ultra, allowing users to configure actions they can perform.

Additionally, some images suggest that the volume up/down buttons on the iPhone 15 will be designed as a single unit instead of separate entities as before.

New Color Options

Apple is also rumored to introduce new color options for this year's iPhone lineup. Among them, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are rumored to come in black, white, red, pink, and blue. As for the iPhone 15 Pro series, new color options are expected to include black, silver, gold, and dark red.
