The famous 9to5mac website obtained unique illustrations of the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro, which was created with computer aid or what is known as CAD models, and it was given to 9to5Mac by a reliable company for the manufacture of iPhone cases and made by a 15D artist named Ian Zelbo. These illustrations show significant changes in the appearance and functionality of the iPhone XNUMX Pro.
Apple supplies factories in Asia with CAD models identical to the upcoming iPhone, to produce cases before its launch, and this is done to ensure availability at the time of issuance of the device.
The CAD models referenced in this context appear to be from a manufacturer outside of China and he also appears to be the first to have them. The CAD models are usually so accurate to the final device in terms of dimensions and design that having inaccurate files would be costly to the makers of these covers.
The most notable changes that can be seen is the shift from the Lightning port to the USB-C port, and this represents a major change to the charging port for the iPhone and most Apple accessories since 2012. The image shows the new charging port.
This could be due to the pressure the European Union has been putting on Apple for some time, requiring companies to use a unified charging standard for all smartphones and devices.
This means that the switch to USB-C may be limited to cables that have been approved by Apple through the MFi program or made for the iPhone, which may restrict their future availability by manufacturers, and these cables are known to be characterized by great speeds in transferring data and charging speeds.
Another change in the design of the iPhone 15 Pro is the curvature of the edges, whether the glass or the metal frame, as the glass bends slightly around the edges, which leads to a smoother transition to the frame. The frame itself is more curved than before, resembling the design of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro and the new MacBook Air with M2 processor. This makes holding the iPhone more comfortable, and less likely to accidentally touch the screen.
Also, the rear camera bump becomes thicker than before, and this may indicate that Apple may have upgraded the camera and added new, larger sensors or lenses. While the camera design remains similar to the iPhone 14 Pro, with three lenses and a LiDAR scanner on a square plateau.
Also, we can see some changes to the volume buttons and the mute key, where the volume buttons appear as buttons with haptic feedback such as the Home button in the iPhone 7, and it may We talked about this in more than one previous report. As for the mute button, it is also redesigned, in a smaller and round shape similar to the shape of the buttons with haptic feedback.
The models do not show any other precise details of the iPhone 15 Pro, but we expect it to be similar to the iPhone 14 Pro. The body of the device is a few millimeters smaller with thinner bezels, so we'll likely see the same 6.1-inch screen in a slightly smaller body. We also notice that the dynamic island is still there and appears to be the same size as it is now.
These are early models and may not reflect all aspects of the final design of the upcoming iPhone. But it undoubtedly gives us an idea of the design and some important changes for the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro.
