- The iPhone 15 Pro alleged case images have leaked online.
- The leaked iPhone 15 Pro Max case shows a wider and more rounded button. Rumours are rife that this opening may house a new ‘Custom Button’.
- The camera layout on the back is also slightly enlarged, probably to house a new camera system.
iPhone 15 series is expected to debut later this year around September. The lineup is expected to include four models: the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. There have been multiple rumours and reports about what the new models are expected to bring. In the latest leak, the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s protective back case has been leaked online, courtesy of tipster Majin Bu. This offers a glimpse of the design changes. Let’s check out the details.
iPhone 15 Pro Max design changes
- The most obvious change in the design of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the relocation of the traditional ‘Mute Switch’. This is significant considering that Apple hasn’t changed this in the past 16 years.
- The leaked iPhone 15 Pro Max case shows a wider and more rounded button. Rumours are rife that this opening may house a new ‘Custom Button’.
- In comparison, previously the mute switch was positioned on the upper left side of the device. There is a flat and narrow oval opening on the case for easy toggling.
- This design change is in line with earlier leaked rumours and reiterates Apple’s intentions to replace the mute switch.
This button is said to be equipped with a miniature processor, which enables users to perform different actions, especially when the battery is low or the device is turned off. There will be other functionalities including secure Apple Pay transactions and locating the iPhone using the ‘Find My iPhone’ feature.
Moving away from the new ‘Mute Switch’, the case images also show a distinct cutout for the camera module, hinting at possible improvements compared to the predecessor. The larger cutouts also mean that Apple may introduce a more advanced camera system on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. That’s about the new iPhone 15 Pro Max’s case design. We should learn more details about the iPhone 15 series soon.
