iPhone 15 Pro design tipped by leaked cases — here’s the changes

iPhone 15 Pro renders by Technizo

Rumor has it Apple has several design tweaks planned for its upcoming iPhone 15 Pro. New pictures purportedly of the handset's case have surfaced, showing power and volume buttons positioned slightly lower than on the iPhone 14 Pro as well as a slightly larger bottom cutout. That's likely to accommodate a USB-C charging port as Apple seems posed to finally ditch the Lightning port with the iPhone 15 series.

This week, leakers posted images of pre-release accessories for the iPhone 15 Pro on Weibo and Twitter, as spotted by MacRumors. Along with repositioned power and volume buttons, the cases reveal a cutout for the new dedicated mute button rumored to replace the classic mute switch set above the volume buttons. The cutout looks smaller than that of the mute switch, presumably because a button doesn't need as much real estate as a switch since you'll no longer have to grip it from the side.
