iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro dummies show potential colours and design; new Action button spotted

iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro colours and design (expected)

In this AppleInsider video, we see the iPhone 15 in White, Black, Yellow, Pink and Blue colours, pretty much consistent with earlier leaks. The latter three look light-toned. The build is said to be Aluminum and the sides have the Ring/Silent button, just like the standard iPhone 14 models. 

However, the changes appear on the bottom and the front of these iPhones.

There is the Dynamic Island on the display instead of a notch, which launched with the iPhone 14 Pro models. The pill-shaped cutout gives you better visibility of ongoing activities and alerts and new multi-tasking abilities.

All iPhone 15 dummies appear to have a USB-C port, but only the Pros are expected to have a higher bandwidth and faster charging Thunderbolt. Also, there is a rumour that USB-C cables could match the iPhone’s colour.

As for the iPhone 15 Pro colours, the options could include silver, black, Titan Gray, and deep blue. The latter two are supposed to be the new editions this year.

What we can see, however, is the long-rumoured Action Button. It replaces the Ring/Silent button but among its nine expected functions, a mute toggle is also present. The other toggles could include the camera, flashlight, magnifier, translation, voice memos, shortcuts, and accessibility features.

Although not evident in the video, the Pro models are expected to be of Titanium build with a matte finish.

iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro specifications (expected)

• Display: Apple iPhone 15 Pro models could have a 6.7-inch ProMotion display (with Always-on mode) while the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus could have a 6.1-inch display.
• Cameras: While the vanilla variants could have similar camera specs as before, the Pro Max model could sport an almost 1-inch sensor and a periscope telephoto lens (with 5x/6x zoom).

• Processor: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus could come powered by last-gen A16 Bionic chip but the Pro models could have a newer 3nm A17 Bionic chipset along with 8GB of RAM.
• Battery: All iPhones could have bigger batteries viz. a 3,877mAh battery on the iPhone 15, a 4,912mAh battery on the iPhone 15 Plus, a 3,650mAh battery on the iPhone 15 Pro, and a 4,852mAh battery on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. At least the Pro models are expected to feature 35W wired charging and Qi2 Magsafe charging support.

We should have concrete details when the iPhone 15 series launches on September 12th.
