iPhone 15 Pro renders show thinner bezels, more curved design, USB-C port

The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to launch alongside the Pro Max and two other models this fall, most likely in September. And yet, here we are in mid-February and we already seem to have the first speculative renders of the next phone. These are CAD based, so they are quite rough around the edges, but it’s still better than nothing.

These CAD files are sent by Apple to accessory manufacturers in Asia before the launch of new products, so that they can prepare their products when the new iPhone becomes official. In this case (pun intended – read on), the CAD files these renders are based on are said to have come from a Chinese case maker, who apparently got them first.

Okay, introduction aside, let’s see what’s new. USB-C is finally coming to iPhones this year, as you can see, and as has been said many times before. Then there’s the new design, which makes the frame a bit more curved and also seems to bend the glass in the frame. If it works, it will make the phone much easier to hold.

The camera bump on the back is apparently thicker than that of the iPhone 14 Pro, which may mean we’ll get further improvements in this space, with possibly bigger sensors. The layout of the three cameras and the LiDAR scanner inside the camera island remains unchanged from last year.

The volume buttons may no longer be proper buttons, but capacitive buttons, as we said before. The mute switch has also been redesigned, being smaller and rounder than before. The iPhone 15 Pro’s screen size and resolution should be similar, if not identical, to its predecessor, but the panel will have thinner bezels, so overall the new device will be slightly smaller. The dynamic island is still there and resembles that of the iPhone 14 Pro.

These renders may not reflect “every aspect of Apple’s final design,” according to their source, so keep that in mind.
