So far, we’ve only seen iPhone 15 leaks in text form, from trusted sources like Mark Gurman or Ross Young. As of today, that changes: 9to5Mac got some renders from Ian Zelbo that are apparently true to what an iPhone 15 Pro should be.
And not only that: another independent source made an apparent iPhone 15 spy photography which shows in close-up the most striking novelty of the terminal: its USB-C port. It appears surrounded by two screws and holes for the lower speakers, and we guess a case that could well be titanium as rumors say.
Frames? What frames? The iPhone 15 has no bezel
I worked with @9to5mac to give you a first look at the iPhone 15 Pro! Thinner bezels, USB-C, new cameras, rounder edges, and more… see the full story at https://t.co/0dZ6DQ8Hrn pic.twitter.com/cKSvo7chk2

In the Zeibo renderings, we can see two striking innovations firsthand: the frames are much smaller, and the cameras protrude from the main body of the terminal to a point that already borders on exaggeration. The dynamic island does not change, but there are slight changes in the exterior buttons. Maybe the rumors of them being haptic will come true.

First of all I’m a little scared that the cameras alone will be the same thickness as the whole phone (and scarier to think about how the cases will have to protect that). We’re getting to a point where that can get awkward, although while the phone is clearly aimed at professionals, that would be preferred over a more comfortable form factor. Everything is done to increase the quality and performance of the cameras, as the competition is getting tougher a lot.
Here’s the spy shot, filtered by Unknown21, that matches what the renders show in the lower area:
It’s cute.
Anyway, here’s a close-up of the iPhone 15 Pro’s USB-C port. No imagination or rendering required. https://t.co/vMyQPzeNws pic.twitter.com/LtF3se6MjL

There is no doubt about it: it is a USB-C port like the top of a pine. It also looks like the edges of this iPhone 15 Pro are going to be a little more rounded than the ones we have on the iPhone 14, and perhaps that reduces the “cut” feeling we get on these models when we use them. without case.
With this leak, many doubts are removed about the appearance of the Phone 15 Pro, although there are still unknowns to be clarified about the hypothetical ‘Ultra’ model which would constitute a super-high range. And it would also be interesting to see what we get in the conventional iPhone 15, so we’ll continue to watch for more leaks that may arrive over the next few weeks and months.
