Rumored iPhone 15 Pro Design With Thinner Bezels, Thicker Camera Bump and USB-C Port Shown Off in Renders

Just found some leaked images of the iPhone 17:

(This image is starting to seem less and less like a joke).

actually Samsung had a phone similar to this.

Foldables are the future.

They are as much the future as 3D TV's were.

Getting iPhone 5C vibes from the shape and edges. Not sure if that is good or bad, I am sure the metal will be the difference maker.

That bump is going to be so big that Pixar moms are gonna be jealous.

I hope that with the thinner bezzles they will finally manage to put a silent mode indicator 🔕 to the status bar for people to stop missing calls.

I too would like to Samsung do this, if only to watch said product flop.

The problem is that a thicker phone with a larger battery is also a bulkier and heavier device, both to hold and bring around. As I stand now replying to this post while waiting in line to order breakfast, I am holding on to my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The thickness of the camera is immaterial here, only the thickness of the body and its weight.

Most people are also going to slap a case onto their phone, further increasing the thickness (which also partly nullifies the camera bump).

That’s why you design a phone around use case (eg: my 13 Pro Max lasts a day, so I am ambivalent to more battery life that I will never see or feel) rather than simply max out battery capacity just to win a meaningless spec war.

I agree with your battery take. With cases most have cutouts for the camera so the bump is still pronounced. How was breakfast?

I meant, most cases are so thin the bump is still pronounced

Enough with the freaking camera bump expansions. At some point, the camera bump is going to be the same thickness as the rest of the phone. Ridiculous.

Not too bad. Standard beehoon. Don’t judge me for having fried stuff first thing in the morning but their chicken wing was juicy.

LOL. No. I've used foldables. They are absolutely the future of smartphones.

True, but RAW files take up more space and RAW needs to be turned on manually every time you take a photo.

I would like to be able to toggle it permanently on. I would also like to be able toggle HDR on or off, as you used to be able to.

interesting. I have the 12 Pro and it stays on. Even when I force close the app. It’s only when I turned off my phone and restarted that it turned off.

Camera bump is terrible, I also hate "fake buttons".

But yep, USB-C is major selling point for me. Count me in.

Do you not own a bunch of lightning stuff ? If iPhone is your only apple product seems like usb-c will be huge. Else it’s more accessory fragmentation with the collection

Long term it’s definitely good but

I do own iPad and few MacBooks Pro. And Android phone. All devices with USB-C. I'm waiting until Apple upgrades iPhone to USB-C, because switching to lightning would be huge downgrade for me.

After getting the 14PM, I think I’m finally done upgrading every model. Aside from Dunamic Island, this phone is no different than the 13PM. I have to stop giving these clowns my money year after year for a new color way.

Thicker camera bump? Thank you Apple, this is what I have been waiting for!

Hey, that almost looks like the prototype I found:

They'll never get another nickel out of me for an iPhone if they never make any more Minis

These huge patio paver bricks with camera tumors on them are totally unappealing to me.

iPhone design needs a shakeup, a re-think and some new ideas brought into the lineup

 

[AF_APPLETALK]

Sorry but the camera bump is out of control. It’s very prominent on my 14 pro, I can’t imagine it being any bigger than it is without looking even more absurd. If they can’t work out the periscope they should just stick with the current camera configuration for the 15.

I’m out on the pro if the cameras are that big.

 

[R3k]

Casio camera from 15 years ago or the iPhone 5 years from now?

 

[Royksöpp]

I really hope the glass isn't curved. That is a design element that should be left behind.

 

[spac3duck]

If the camera bump grows in size to accomodate better image quality, that's fine for me. But please Apple, compensate on the top right of the back of the phone so that we don't end up with a phone that always rocks from side to side when you place it down on a flat surface.

I would like to get thunderbolt transfer speeds…..in a mini with a camera bump.

 

[JoshNori]

Looks kind of like it’ll be marketed as the best iPhone ever.

 

[JtheLemur]

Ahhhhahahaha **** that camera bump. Seriously that’s bonkers. I don’t even want to imagine how much top-heavier that’ll be compared to the 14 Pro Max, not to mention it’s an aesthetic travesty. The lint channel lenses that tall end up creating… just nooo

 

[maccymac42]

Bare minimum upgrade again then? Wouldn't it be nice if apple made the phone thicker so the bump was less prominent? Add in some battery and it'd be a winner.
