As Apple gears up to introduce the iPhone 15 later this year, exclusive renders of the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro have surfaced, and it’s a sight to behold. Based on a CAD model provided by a reliable case manufacturer and a 3D artist, these renders give us a glimpse of the upcoming flagship device from Apple. The CAD files, like the one used in creating these renders, are provided by Apple to factories in Asia to prepare phone cases ahead of launch. This ensures that cases are available to consumers when the device is launched.
What’s new? Well, as previously speculated, we will be saying goodbye to Apple’s proprietary connector, the Lightning port, and hello to USB-C. This change marks a major shift in the design and features of the iPhone, all thanks to the pressure from the European Union, which has been pushing for a common charging standard for all smartphones and devices.
But that’s not all. The iPhone 15 Pro has undergone a significant design overhaul. As per the renders, the curvature of the edges, both on the glass and on the metal frame, has been updated to create a more seamless transition to the frame. This could make the phone more comfortable to hold and less prone to accidental touches.
The camera bump on the back is also thicker than before, indicating that Apple may have upgraded the camera system with new sensors or lenses. The camera layout remains similar to the iPhone 14 Pro, with three lenses and a LiDAR scanner arranged in a square module. The camera lenses are thicker in this generation, likely hinting at larger image sensors.
There are also changes to the volume rockers and the mute switch. The volume rockers look like capacitive buttons instead of physical ones, as speculated previously. The mute switch also looks redesigned, with a smaller and rounder shape similar to that of the capacitive buttons.
While we can’t say for sure, the resolution of the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to be similar to that of the iPhone 14 Pro. The body of the device is slightly smaller with thinner bezels, so it’s likely we’ll see the same 6.1-inch or a slightly larger display in a smaller body. The Dynamic Island is still present and looks to be about the same size as the iPhone 14 Pro.
Of course, these renders are based on an early CAD model and may not reflect all aspects of Apple’s final design. But they do give us an idea of what we can expect from one of this year’s most anticipated smartphones. With a more ergonomic frame, an updated camera system, and USB-C, the iPhone 15 Pro is sure to make waves in the smartphone industry.
