9to5Mac points out that the iPhone 15 Pro CAD files are based on renders given by Apple to factories in Asia to prepare phone cases ahead of launch. It means, the CAD renders show an almost confirmed design of the upcoming flagship iPhone model.

First comes the biggest change in iPhone’s history! The iPhone 15 Pro CAD hints at the death of the lightning port in favor of USB C-Type. Samsung already follows a common charging port strategy and Apple is forced to use a universal connector for iPhones too.

Second, the camera bump, which is slightly thicker than the iPhone 14 Pro. It suggests Apple is bringing serious camera upgrades to the iPhone 15 Pro including new sensors or lenses. The camera arrangement seems the same as the predecessors, however, we might be seeing upgraded sensors such as Periscope.

The third change is the curvature of the edges, both on the glass and on the metal frame. This time, iPhone 15 Pro’s CAD shows the glass curves slightly around the edges, creating a more seamless transition to the frame to make it easier to handle and reduce accidental touches.

Apple is continuing the Dynamic Island feature on the next iPhone lineup, at least on Pros. The vanilla Pro model may feature the same 6.1-inch display in a slightly smaller body. Still, the design is unconfirmed as everything is based on information reportedly shared by Apple.

So, why Apple is making radical changes in 2023 iPhone?

The answer is simple! Samsung is continuously expanding its footsteps in the smartphone industry. After bringing 108MP camera sensors, the company brought a massive 200MP resolution camera with the Galaxy S23 Ultra that makes lossless photography possible.

On the flip side, Apple is far away from making a foldable iPhone as it still thinks the technology is not mature. This August, Samsung will be going to amaze the industry with its next Galaxy Z. Hence, Apple is also joining the race so can’t be criticized as lame.
