The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to feature a new central frame made of grade 5 titanium, which will lead to a significantly lighter device overall. Mark Gurman recently claimed that the iPhone 15 Pro could be 10 percent lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro.
MacRumors He obtained the exact dimensions of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and this information seems to support Gurman’s claims.
iPhone 15 dimensions and weight :
- Thickness : 7.8mm
- Length : 147.6mm
- Width : 71.6mm
- Weight : 171 grams
Dimensions and weight of iPhone 14:
- Thickness : 7.8mm
- Length: 146.7mm
- Width: 71.5mm
- Weight: 172 grams
The base model of the iPhone 15 can be considered the smallest in the series, as its dimensions and overall weight are similar to the iPhone 14. The iPhone 15 will have the same thickness as last year’s model, with minor changes in length. and device width. According to our sources, the iPhone 15 continues to use the same body material (aluminum 6013 T6) as the iPhone 14. Since there are no significant differences in materials and no visible structural changes, it is easy to understand why the weight of the standard iPhone 15 is close to the weight of the iPhone 14.
While the exact dimensions of the iPhone 15 Plus are unknown at the time of writing, it’s safe to assume that the size difference between the iPhone 15 Plus and the iPhone 14 Plus is minimal at best. Since no major design changes, structural changes or material changes are expected, the iPhone 15 Plus is likely to have a similar weight as its predecessor.
Dimensions and weight of iPhone 15 Pro:
- Thickness : 8.25mm
- Length : 146.6mm
- Width : 70.6mm
- Weight : 188 grams
Dimensions and weight of iPhone 14 Pro:
- Thickness : 7.85mm
- Length: 147.5mm
- Width: 71.5mm
- Weight: 206 grams
The iPhone 15 Pro needs to improve in at least one key area, namely weight. Compared to the previous model, the iPhone 15 Pro will be 18 grams lighter thanks to the material change. Our sources confirm that Apple is using Grade 5 titanium for the iPhone 15 Pro; this is a marked departure from the stainless steel used in every Pro iPhone so far. Grade 5 titanium, also known as Ti-6Al-4V, is a titanium alloy used in various industries and widely known for its excellent corrosion resistance.
In terms of dimensions, the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to have a similar form factor to the previous model, with minor differences in the length and width of the device. One notable difference is the thickness of the device. The iPhone 15 Pro has an increased thickness of 8.25mm compared to 7.85mm on the iPhone 14 Pro. The change in thickness can be considered an interesting choice, considering that the company has previously used reduced thickness as an offering for certain devices. However, the reduced bezel size of the iPhone 15 Pro display will likely overshadow the increased thickness.
The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to feature thinner bezels thanks to the use of advanced display technology known as LIPO, short for “low-pressure injection molding.” First mentioned by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and later independently verified MacRumors The use of LIPO technology for iPhone 15 Pro displays is expected to reduce the frame size from the current 2.2 mm to around 1.55 mm.
