iPhone 15 preview

What's coming in the next iPhone model?

THE iPHONE 15 line due this year promises a big shakeup in several respects. Here is what we expect.

First up, instead of Lightning, the iPhone 15 will have a USB–C port, as ordered by the EU for all devices sold in Europe as from the end of 2024.

All models’ screens are likely to lose the notch and feature Dynamic Island, the variable interface element introduced in iPhone 14 Pro to camouflage the front–facing camera and other under–screen components. Aside from this, the 6.1–inch iPhone 15 and 6.7–inch iPhone 15 Max are said to have screen sizes and body designs much like the current model’s, with an aluminum frame and toughened glass front and back.

By contrast, significant design changes are expected in the 6.1–inch iPhone 15 Pro and 6.7–inch iPhone 15 Pro Max. These include a titanium frame, both lighter and stronger than aluminum, with more rounded corners and thinner screen bezels.
