The anticipated design change for the iPhone 15 series may not come to pass

We recently heard that the iPhone 15 line would include some intriguing design improvements, the most notable of which would be curved edges, however it now appears that this modification is far from set in stone.

Forbes that the decision to implement rounded corners is still being deliberated upon. This is not to mean that the earlier leak was false.

According to Forbes, normally, the design of a new iPhone would have been finalised by now, so the current uncertainty is strange. However, it may be due to the current uncertainty within Apple’s supply chain, which may make a design change harder to pull off than usual.

So, rounded corners might be an improvement Apple is seeking, but they could also present some challenges. However, it seems that this shift is at least possible.

Also discussed on LeaksApplePro were recent rumours that all or at least some of the iPhone models in the 15th anniversary lineup will be available in a titanium finish.

They made it clear that just the sides will be made of titanium, which was to be expected given that wireless charging wouldn’t be effective via a metal back. The back appears to still be made of glass.

Given that Apple isn’t expected to release the iPhone 15 series until September, we recommend taking all of this with a grain of salt.

promises that ring true, but don’t depend on titanium versions of every model

All of the above rumours make sense to us, but we can only assume that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra will be made of titanium, as opposed to the cheaper aluminium and stainless steel of the iPhone 14.

Since some sources have been more explicit than others, it’s important to make clear that only the highest-end versions will have titanium.

The general opinion on the rounded corners of the iPhone 15 is that all models will have them if any do, and this makes sense.

Apple could benefit from a redesign, particularly of the entry-level models, which saw no significant changes this year; unlike a switch in materials, this probably wouldn’t raise prices, and it would help the upcoming handsets stand out more prominently among the best phones.
