We are about seven months away from the iPhone 15 launch, but internet sleuths are already out with high-resolution renders of what the upcoming iPhone series will look like. While we should not expect any major changes to the design (which Apple rarely does these days), there are certain significant upgrades that deserve an eye raise. Let us get into the details.

An exclusive report by 9to5Mac gives us an extensive look into the expected design of the iPhone 15 Plus, a variant of the iPhone 15 series expected to launch in fall 2023, as per Apple’s regular schedule. The biggest change that we notice here is the USB-C port on the bottom. This falls in line with reports that Apple would make the inevitable shift to USB-C after the European Union’s guidelines required the same.

iPhone 15 Plus design

As for design elements, the iPhone 15 Plus is shown to finally embrace the Dynamic Island, previously seen only on the Pro models. The notch is going away for good, for the sake of uniformity. The report mentions that the dimensions of the iPhone 15 Plus will be 160.87 mm X 77.76 mm X 7.81 mm. This means the upgrade will be just slightly taller and thicker than the iPhone 14 Plus (160.87 mm X 77.76 mm X 7.81 mm). There is also a new, slightly curved display design in the renders, along with slimmer bezels which might make the iPhone 15 Plus just a tad bit easier to use.

As per the report, these renders are based on CAD files provided by Apple to its supply chain partners to prepare for an impending launch. So, it seems that if indeed that is the case, the renders could just be closer to the real deal.

To recall, alleged iPhone 15 leaked images were seen just month; the images confirmed a USB-C port, Dynamic Island on the base model, and a larger 6.2-inch display. Leaked renders of the iPhone 15 Pro, also by 9to5Mac, also revealed the presence of a USB-C port. With a new port and some cosmetic changes coming to the new iPhone 15 series, will this be something that encourages non-Apple users to switch over? Only time can tell.
