Portal 9to5Mac shared images of the CAD layout of the iPhone 15 Pro. Such blanks are usually provided by Apple to Asian factories for making cases, so that accessories are ready for the launch of the smartphone.
The renders show some significant design changes to Apple's upcoming flagship smartphone, which is expected to launch later this year. The most notable change is the switch from Lightning to USB-C, which marks a major departure. from Apple's proprietary connector, which has been used in the iPhone and most of the company's accessories since 2012.
This decision may be due to pressure from the European Union, which insists on a single charging standard for all smartphones and mobile devices. True, even in this case, Apple is going to introduce some restrictions - they concern compatible cables.
Another change is the curvature of the edges, both on the glass and on the metal frame. The glass is slightly curved around the edges, creating a smoother transition to the frame. The bezel itself is also more rounded than before, reminiscent of the design of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro and the new
Macbook Air.The camera bump on the back is thicker, indicating that Apple may have updated the system with new sensors or optics. The module layout remains the same as the iPhone 14 Pro, with three lenses and a LiDAR scanner.
You can see some changes on the side of the phone. The volume controls look like capacitive buttons rather than the physical ones you hear about. The mute switch also looks redesigned, being smaller and more rounded in shape.
Also notedthat the body of the device will become a little more compact, which most likely indicates a reduction in the screen frame with the same 6.1-inch diagonal. Dynamic Island is still there and looks the same as it did on the iPhone 14 Pro.
These renders may not represent every aspect of the final design, but they give an idea of what to expect from Apple's new smartphone. Looking forward to more details soon.
