The year 2023 has barely started and the trickle of information about the iPhone 15 is beginning to be constant. We seem to be clear that the base models will not have major changes except for the dynamic island, but the Pro and Ultra models will get all the attention. new leaks They point to a big change regarding their screens: curved corners.
Apple and the responsibility that curves entail
New leaks point to an iPhone 15 with the same screen size and design as the iPhone 14, saving the implementation of the dynamic island. However, on the part of the most expensive models, the changes will be profound. The source points out that, first of all, the Pro models will have a reduction of bevels. These were already quite small in the latest Apple models, and with the 15 Pro there would be a twist.
The curvature of the edges would be similar to that of the Apple Watch.
To this reduction of bezels would be added a movement with precedents only in the Apple Watch: the curved frames. Keeping a flat panel to avoid the problems caused by edge panels, Apple would implement slightly curved bezels. From the source it points to a style similar to that of the Apple Watchwhich has a flat panel, but with a slight 2.5D around it.
It is not a minor change, and it is to curve the bezels of a screen, even if it is flat, it entails important changes in ergonomics. Throughout our analysis the conclusion has been clear: the flatter a panel, the better. It remains to be seen if Apple manages to convince otherwise, if the leaked information materializes.
The change in the bezels would add to the first time that Apple completely dispenses with physical buttonssince haptic keypads are expected for the Pro models, as well as a Type-C port that would put an end to the damn Lightning port that refuses to go away.
