New images have leaked of what the iPhone 15 Pro will look like, based on CAD models accessed by a case manufacturer. These images show that Apple is taking a slightly different approach to the design of the next-gen Pro iPhone.
Apple often shares these CAD files with case manufacturers before releasing their new phones, so they can prepare cases for the devices before the new phone is released; so there are plenty of options on the market for the first day. The leaked images reportedly come from a Chinese factory that first accessed these files.
The biggest change seen in these images shared by @ianzelbo on Twitter is that Apple gave up the Lightning port and replaced it with USB-C, as reported earlier, and this is the biggest change since Apple abandoned the 30-pin connector in 2012. clearly demonstrates the fact that

Another obvious change that can be seen in the images is the design. The hard, square-shaped edges seen on the iPhone 12, 13 and 14 series phones are gone, and a softer curved edge is added instead of the roundness seen on the iPhone 11. Once again, the camera bump is increasing in size, but keeping the same layout and LiDAR sensor.
Another change that seems to happen is moving away from the physical buttons on the sides of the device, as we mentioned in our news here before, and moving to capacitive buttons similar to the home button on the iPhone SE. The mute button also seems to have been redesigned.
That’s all we know for now, and the specs remain a mystery.
