Rumours at this stage, but the discussion below is based on CAD files that have supposedly been sent to case manufacturers in China as a heads-up.

Exclusive: This is iPhone 15 Pro: Thinner bezels, thicker 'curve' design, no Lightning port, more - 9to5Mac

"The most noticeable change is the switch from the Lightning port to USB-C, which would mark a major departure from Apple’s proprietary connector that has been used on iPhones and most Apple accessories since 2012." ... "Thinner bezels, USB-C, new cameras, rounder edges, and more…"

If that is the real design, then that camera bump is just stupidly big.

I thought the 14 Pro's bump was already getting too big, and that's coming from an owner of said device..

Surely it's about time for a design re-think since the Pro's haven't been changed in four years.

Any rumours of touch id (under screen, anywhere else) making an appearance?

Cases would usually hide this. They cold make the phone thicker by putting in a larger battery for more capacity too.

USB-C,

The big question is what "Version" of USB-C it will be,

The ipad has a port that meets the physical dimensions of USB-C but is limited to USB 2.0 data speeds and 4K 30Hz (or 1080p 60Hz) external displays.

So , sure you can use a USB-C charger, but YMMV on other features,

There are rumours/questions about whether any old USB-C cable might be able to charge the phone but maybe you’ll only get full functionality re data, fast charging, back-up etc if using an authenticated Apple cable.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

I would think that if they were to add Touch ID it will probably be on the power button, since they have already done that on some iPads.

That said, I doubt Apple will add Touch ID to an iPhone again.

Pity. But as long as they keep the SE range going then I have an upgrade path

It is the rumours about the Ultra version that has me looking from Android. My only issue seems that it will be 2024, not the 15s. Still early so keeps watching

Ah yes...the Ultra with titanium frame/shell. Much rumoured, yet to be seen.

That it's your face.

That it seems less deliberate than using your finger (eg for apple pay I have to hold the phone over the reader and authorise it with finger rather than look at phone, or say when it's in my car mount, I can touch it with index finger to unlock).

Just not a fan.

You have to look at it and be in view of the camera, which you can't easily do all the time. I have both on my samsung and use touch ID all the time. I hate face ID on my ipad pro, and wish it had the touch ID which they have put onto the side button of the cheaper ipad versions. They could put it on the power button of the iphone as a backup for those that prefer this.

The new iPad Touch ID sucks with a case. Face ID on the iPhone or Touch ID on the old home button is a far better experience.
