iPhone 15 in 2023: Apple iPhone 15 Design Revealed by New Apple Leak

After the release of Apple's iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro lines, there have been numerous reports about the following iteration: the iPhone 15. It's still early, as these devices aren't expected to be released until fall 2023, but the rumour mill never stops.
After the release of Apple’s iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro lines, there have been numerous reports about the following iteration: the iPhone 15. It’s still early, as these devices aren’t expected to be released until fall 2023, but the rumor mill never stops.
Remember, everything we know so far is based on rumors and other media stories – nothing has been official yet, and it probably won’t be until we get closer to the traditional new iPhone season in September. While you may be (rightly) suspicious of some rumors, they do point to the path Apple is likely to take with the next iPhone.
Though Apple introduced the iPhone small with the iPhone 12 lineup and continued to use it with the iPhone 13 series, the mini was discontinued when the iPhone 14 was released. It was superseded by the larger iPhone 14 Plus, which went from a 5.4-inch screen to a gigantic 6.7-inch display (same as the iPhone 14 Pro Max), with the original iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro remaining at the previous generation’s 6.1-inch size.
Apple is likely to continue this with the iPhone 15 series, which will include an iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Again, the basic iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro are expected to have 6.1-inch displays, while the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max will have 6.7-inch displays.
However, the name of the iPhone 15 Pro Max may alter. According to reports, the “Pro Max” designation may be replaced with “Ultra,” akin to the Apple Watch Ultra.
Those hoping for a big change in the iPhone may be disappointed, as the iPhone 15 may look identical to the iPhone 14. While the Dynamic Island pill-and-hole cutout was previously exclusive to iPhone 14 Pro models, Apple may be spreading it to all iPhone 15 models. If this is the fact, the iPhone 15 will be the first iPhone range to do away with the notch entirely.
As previously stated, four iPhone 15 versions are expected: the 6.1-inch iPhone 15, the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus, the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro, and the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max (or Ultra).
According to a new claim, the iPhone 15 may ditch the physical buttons in favor of haptic, solid-state power and volume controls. This would function in the same way as the iPhone 7 Home button. Instead of physically depressing when pressed, it would use haptic feedback to simulate how it would feel if a button was pressed.
If the report concerning solid-state buttons is correct, the iPhone 15 would need two Taptic Engines on the left and right sides. Such a modification would also have an impact on case compatibility; even if the iPhone 15 models were the same size and thickness as the iPhone 14 (with the camera bump), you’d need a case that allows for constant access to the haptic buttons.
In fact, I wouldn’t be shocked if the rumored delay in M2 MacBook Pro shipping isn’t related to the firm rethinking how it will position M1 models in general: continue selling them at a discount like the M1 MacBook Air and risk additional cannibalization, or replace the models totally. It’s a developing issue that Apple needs to address across several product lines.
Some questions remained, such as how cases will function (cutouts may feel weird), but it appears to be a pretty positive step overall. Combine this with reports that Apple will release an iPhone 15 Ultra with a super strong titanium chassis, dual-facing front cameras, a Thunderbolt 4-powered USB-C port, and a new design for standard iPhone 15 models in 2023 — and it appears that the excitement surrounding iPhones will return in 2023.
