Whether you think of picking up an iPhone 14 during the holiday season or not, iPhone 15 leaks and rumors aren’t going to wait!<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the most exciting iPhone 15 series leaks we’ve had so far hint at a periscope zoom camera for at least one iPhone 15 model, Dynamic Island for all four 2023 iPhones, (finally) a new 3nm chip for the Pro models, and , of course, the one to rule all rumors – a USB-C charging port across the entire iPhone 15 lineup (with faster charging and data transfer speeds for the premium models).<\/p>\n

\n
It’s also likely that Apple might be releasing a brand new iPhone that sits on the very top of the lineup, called \u201ciPhone 15 Ultra\u201d. Another rumor says Apple’s premium iPhones will ditch the traditional buttons for strong vibration motors, like the one that powers the MacBook’s trackpad! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
But now the same tipster who told us iPhone 14 Pro would adopt a pill-shaped cutout (Dynamic Island) nearly a whole year before the phone was announced is back with another bold prediction, and this one’s for a redesigned iPhone 15 phones that are going to revert to being \u2026 rounder! *confetti pop<\/p>\n

So, let’s see why the iPhone 15 might be going back to the round design and why Apple’s 2023 flagships might finally switch from using aluminum and stainless steel to being made of\u2026 titanium!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

iPhone 15 new round design – Apple to take inspiration from the iPhone 5C, iPhone X or\u2026 the Google Pixel?<\/h2>\n


\n
Before I talk about why the iPhone 15 might be becoming rounder and titanium-er, it only makes sense to take a look at exactly what kind of a round design Apple might be going for here! tipster ShrimpApplePro<\/a> says he’ll be keeping an eye out for more information but that currency he doesn’t exactly know more than that \u201ciPhone 15 will feature a new border design – rounded on the back and not square\u201d.<\/p>\n

So, I just had to try and guess what Apple’s planned design might be<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Of course, Cupertino’s no stranger to round hardware, and the first round iPhone reference that comes to mind is the most colorful one – the iPhone 5C. Apple’s budget offering was indeed super round, sort of reminiscent of the new MacBook Pro’s base.<\/p>\n
\n

Apple could make the iPhone 15 look like a modern iPhone X, but that wouldn’t be very \u201cnew\u201d, would it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The other possibility is that Apple will be going for something completely different than what the company’s done before and take some inspiration from Android! The phones I’m thinking about in particular are Google’s original Pixel and the Pixel 2.<\/p>\n

As you can see from the photos I’ve compiled, the original Pixel has a very interesting take on design, as the screen of the phone is flat, and the very borders are also flat but then where the back connects to the sides, we have a slope, which is rounded where the frame meets the back (so it’s more comfortable to hold), but sharp to make for a flat frame. I’m sure I haven’t done a great job of describing it, but hopefully, the photos help.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that or the slightly more conservative (but still with a flat portion of the frame) design of the Pixel 2 would actually allow Apple to maintain its \u201cflat\u201d frame but also make the new iPhone 15 models considerably more comfortable to hold, since the very back of the frame would be rounded (just like the leaks promise).<\/p>\n

\n

My personal bet is exactly on a new, Android-inspired design, which isn’t a 1:1 copy of the iPhone 5C or iPhone X, but let’s see.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

All the reasons iPhone 15 must switch back to a rounded design and a titanium build – it was a matter of time (and cycles)!<\/h2>\n
