Aren't we just looking at a slightly slimmer 15 pro due to the thinner bezels as previously leaked, making the base model 15 look larger? It makes no sense to me that they would only increase the size on the base model, and with an insignificant amount at that.
 
This. I switched from a 13 Pro to mini & have realized 5.4 is the perfect size for a phone. 5.8 is tolerable. I won’t be buying a new phone until they make something smaller again.

Also these camera bumps are totally ridiculous. Time to think up something new Apple!
Well said I like my 14 Promax but it takes time to adjust from an Apple X. If they get any bigger what is the point of calling it a phone (just not the bezel) when they size tablets?
 
Anyway, I'm really glad it looks like the pro might become a little slimmer and lighter, I might just consider trading in my 13 mini for one if they manage to knock off some of the weight. Love my mini, but would like the telephoto lens some day.
 
Thinner bezels are nice, but could we please have another basic sub-6.1” screen-sized iPhone? Anything between 5.4” (like mini) and 5.8” (like X, XS, 11 Pro) would be great!
Yeah, same here. I switched from the 8 to the 11 Pro and while it's tolerable, I would rather go smaller (~5.5") for my next phone again.
I don't mind the existence of larger phones and there's clearly a market for them, and I can understand that maybe the top cameras cannot be fit into a smaller body, but still I would appreciate a phone that I can conveniently operate with one hand again.

I agree, I really wish they would just make a Pro Mini with something like a 5.6" screen and all the (future) features of the Pro.
 
Wtf is this article? It says iPhone 15 to be bigger than iPhone 14...and proceeds to show an image of iPhone 15 Pro being larger than iPhone 15.
 
Samsung is able to make a pretty thin phone with very small protruding lenses that don't look that out of place but still on par with Apples image quality, so why the hell can't Apple?

Apple honestly needs new designers as the ridiculous camera bump can't just keep getting bigger and bigger to the point of it being as thick as the phone itself.
 
I guess they increased the size slightly so that the dynamic island won't obstruct a video when you watch it in landscape mode. They moved it up... physically, with a couple of pixels.
Does it really interfere in videos? I thought that normal videos fit into the safe zone below the notch? I know there are some extra wide panavision-style videos but are they that common?

Phone size or screen size ?
Because from published renders of CAD, the 15 pro seems actually narrower than the iPhone X.

The 14pro picture is 387 pixel wide while the 15pro is 380 pixel wide, which translate into a 1.3mm size reduction. In comparison, the iPhone X is 0.6mm narrower than the 14pro.
