Rumors surrounding the upcoming iPhone 15 continue to swirl, and the latest reports suggest that Apple’s next standard iPhone model could inherit a premium design feature from the iPhone 14 Pro. According to a reliable Weibo leaker who accurately revealed the yellow iPhone 14, the standard iPhone 15 will feature a textured matte glass rear panel instead of the glossy rear panel seen on its predecessor, the iPhone 14.
The introduction of the textured matte glass rear panel is likely aimed at giving the standard iPhone 15 a more high-end look and feel. This change could also indicate potential rear panel modifications for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which are rumored to come with a titanium frame.
In addition to offering an improved grip, the textured matte glass rear panels featured on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have been praised for their premium appearance. However, preferences may vary between matte and glossy finishes.
The inclusion of this design feature in the iPhone 15 suggests that Apple is determined to elevate the standard iPhone model. Some have even compared the base iPhone 15 to a more affordable version of the iPhone 14 Pro. Therefore, for those considering an upgrade, it may be wise to wait until Apple’s September reveal event for further details.
While the iPhone 15 is expected to adopt several features from the iPhone 14 Pro, not all will be carried over. The standard model is likely to retain the static 60Hz refresh rate of the iPhone 14, with Apple’s advanced ProMotion technology reserved for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, offering a variable refresh rate of 1-120Hz.
Advanced camera features from the iPhone 14 Pro may also be absent from the standard iPhone 15, despite rumors suggesting a 48MP main lens for the base model. However, the latest reports indicate that Apple plans to introduce new color options for the iPhone 15 lineup. Similar to the Deep Purple color introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are rumored to debut in a striking deep red color. Furthermore, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are said to come in a vibrant cyan color, helping consumers easily differentiate between the standard iPhones and the top-tier devices.
As anticipation builds, Apple fans eagerly await the official unveiling of the iPhone 15 series in September to confirm these rumors and discover the full extent of Apple’s latest innovations.
