MacRumors Exclusive: iPhone 15 Design Shown Off in Leaked Images Shared by Unknownz21

[MacRumors]

Images said to depict the standard iPhone 15 model were today provided to MacRumors and shared on Twitter by leaker Unknownz21, giving us our first look at the iPhone 15's design in full.

The images show off the USB-C port at the bottom of the iPhone, which is replacing the Lightning port that Apple has used for every iPhone since 2012. The entire iPhone 15 lineup will transition to USB-C due to charging port laws implemented in the European Union.

The front of the iPhone 15 is also visible, and as this is the entry-level iPhone 15, there are no major design changes to the chassis compared to the iPhone 14. Rumors have indicated that the Dynamic Island that was introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will come to the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, in addition to the iPhone 15 Pro models. Note that the published images have been edited to be lower quality as requested by the original source that shared the photos, as it makes the origin more difficult to trace. The device in the images is an early iPhone 15, which Apple calls D37, and while it is unlikely that there have been changes to the design, it is a possibility.

Earlier this month, Unknownz21 shared an image of the iPhone 15 Pro chassis, but that was limited to the USB-C port. Still, that image provided details on some of the design changes that Apple is making to the iPhone 15 Pro lineup, such as deeper curves. These changes are not expected for the iPhone 15. In addition to an iPhone 14-style design, it will be equipped with an A16 chip, Wi-Fi 6, and a Qualcomm X70 modem.

For more on the features we can expect to see from the iPhone 15, we have a dedicated iPhone 15 roundup.

Neat. Now we can mass throw away lightning cables to help reduce waste!

Why is the USB-C port yellow?

Major Kudos and Props to Unknownz21. He must be saved!!! Thank you! Keep up the good work. 👏🏻 🫡

Why is the USB-C port yellow?

Because it's still in the early stages. Don't think the color paint coating has been applied.

 

[phenste]

I just don’t like the curves much…am I the only one who likes the flat design?

also: as mentioned in the last post about this, looks a bit like titanium…👀

Still seems a little sketchy that an almost-final sample would come out so ahead of time.
Not even the Gizmodo iPhone 4 leak was so early.
Oh well.

Agreed! But I think by now Apple is already working towards the new iPhone 16 line up.

Someone (like Apple) aught to come up with a recycling program. There's not much copper in each cable, but not nothing either. Add up all Lightning cables ever sold, and it's probably a very substantial amount of copper.

Look at the port
Look how it shines for you
And everything you do
Yeah, it was colored yellow

Apple came along
Apple designed a port for you
And all the things you do
And it was colored Yellow


🤷‍♂️

I am looking forward to having the same cable for every device, iPhone, iPad MacBook Air, my Android work phone, Nintendo Switch. This is going to be fantastic.

I'll be so pissed if an iPhone Foldable prototype doesn't come out by next month.

Still have no idea what took Apple so long to implement this change. Maybe we will never ever find out!

 

[macsplusmacs]

Cat = real deal

 

[Kylo83]

what happened to slimmer bezels, these look the same as the 14 pro's is only the 15 pro having slimmer bezels?

 

[macsplusmacs]

Is the timeline for this leak and what is shows generally earlier that before would you say?

 

[ps3zocker]

This is the non-pro iPhone 15.

95% of their users could care less? Just guessing.

 

[surfzen21]

Don't bury the lead.

That new wallpaper of the cat playing piano is going to rock!!!!

 

[Kylo83]

This is the non-pro iPhone 15.

oh so the slimmer bezels only coming to the pro's

 

[GMShadow]

When the landfills are full of Lightning cables we shall all be free.

Why is the USB-C port yellow?

Prototype boards can often be funky colors - Apple has used green and red at times in the past.

 

[macsplusmacs]

Yah but does this twitter leaker Twitter Verified?

I only believe twitter people that give Enron his 8 bucks each month.


LOL.

 

[BB1970]

I’m betting it’ll still be usb 2.0 speeds.

 

[257Loner]

Phones are boring. MacRumors has an exclusive look at images of a candybar slab of pocket computer that could be next year's candybar slab of pocket computer by Apple. So what? They're all the same.
