iPhone 15 Series Models Show Design Changes
Apple has long been known for its impeccable secrecy surrounding the release of its new products. However, in recent years, the company seems to have adopted a new approach, akin to its competitor Samsung. Leaked images and details of upcoming devices have become increasingly common, with realistic iPhone 15 Series models surfacing well before the official launch. Today, we catch a glimpse of the highly anticipated iPhone 15 series, comprising the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
In terms of overall appearance, the iPhone 15 series closely resembles its predecessors. However, there is a noticeable reduction in bezel size, particularly in the Pro version, where it almost rivals the sleekness of Android flagships. It is worth noting that Apple has managed to maintain uniform width on all four sides of the iPhone—an impressive feat.
One significant change comes in the form of the Dynamic Island front lens design, adopted across the entire series. Sadly, the standard model’s refresh rate remains unchanged at 60Hz, indicating that Apple’s widespread adoption of high refresh rates may still be a couple of years away.
Perhaps the most eagerly anticipated change is the introduction of the Type-C interface, a feature that users have long been yearning for. This upgrade allows for the convenience of carrying just a single cable while on the go. However, rumors suggest that the transmission rates may differ between the standard and Pro versions—a strategy that aligns with Apple’s typical product differentiations.
Another noticeable alteration is found in the mute button. While the Pro version embraces a “solid-state button” (more possibly being a regular press button) design, departing from the traditional ringer slider that has been in use for over a decade, the standard version retains its predecessor’s mute slider. The advantage of the new design lies in its flexibility, enabling users to customize its functions. However, it does lack the convenience of easily confirming the current status, unlike the previous slider.
