Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro is the smaller of the two premium models, but it’ll have the same titanium sides, USB-C port, and a programmable mute button when it launches in September. Here are all the rumors so far.
Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro is the smaller of the two premium models, but it’ll have the same titanium sides, USB-C port, and a programmable mute button when it launches in September. Here are all the rumors so far.
Apple has kept the features between the 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch pro models identical for a few generations now. However, with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, it seems there will be some exclusive features reserved for the larger device.
The rumor cycle has been in relative chaos for the first quarter of 2023, but things will begin to solidify as we approach the September launch. This update appears to be quite extensive, thanks to new materials, a port change, and a mute button.
Watch our video on iPhone 15 Ultra. Many of these features apply to both models.
iPhone 15 Pro design rumors
If you saw AppleInsider’s renders for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, there won’t be many differences for the iPhone 15 Pro. It is expected to have the same curved titanium sides, new curved edge display cover, and a USB-C port.
What’s more interesting is what it may lack. The smaller iPhone isn’t expected to get the new periscope zoom camera or a second selfie camera.
The display bezels are rumored to shrink again, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max may have the thinnest bezel in a smartphone to date. The iPhone 15 Pro will have thinner bezels too, and a slight curve is expected on the edge of the glass midway into the bezel.
Speaking of displays, even though the Dynamic Island is expected to make it to every iPhone 15 model, some display technology will remain exclusive to the pros. ProMotion and always-on display technology will be pro-only for at least another year.
The new iPhone color is expected to be deep red, as is shown in one of our images. The other regular colors will return — space black, silver, and gold.
Since the edge is titanium instead of stainless steel, it could have a different finish and anodization process for color. Apple has avoided striking colors for the iPhone Pro in the past, but the new materials may allow improved saturation.
iPhone 15 Pro USB-C port
Apple is rumored to finally be moving to USB-C, whether it is ready or not. EU regulations will force companies like Apple to include USB-C in products like iPhone by 2024.
This move has prompted Apple to begin transitioning to USB-C in other products.
