Apple enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting the official announcement of the iPhone 15 series, and now that the launch is scheduled for September 12, we have a few interesting details to share. In this comparison article, we will examine the size and weight of the iPhone 15 series, highlighting the key differences from its predecessor, the iPhone 14 series.

iPhone 15 and iPhone 14: Standard models

Starting with the standard models, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 are strikingly similar. Both are 7.8 mm thick, making them stylish and easy to use. The length and width of the iPhone 15 are 147.6 mm and 71.6 mm respectively, while the iPhone 14 is 146.7 mm long and 71.5 mm wide.

But the weight comparison shows little change: the iPhone 15 weighs 171 grams; This is just 1 gram lighter than its predecessor, the iPhone 14, which weighed 172 grams. These minor differences show that Apple has retained the basic design elements of the regular models.

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro: The evolution of the Pro series

The Pro series of the iPhone 15 series shows more remarkable changes. The thickness of the iPhone 15 Pro is 8.25 mm, slightly thicker than the iPhone 14 Pro (7.85 mm). However, this thickness change may be masked by the narrower screen bezel of the iPhone 15 Pro, which is expected to shrink from 2.2 mm to around 1.55 mm. The iPhone 15 Pro is 146.6 mm long and 70.6 mm wide, while the iPhone 14 Pro is 147.5 mm long and 71.5 mm wide.

One of the key improvements to the iPhone 15 Pro is the new metal middle frame made from G5-grade titanium. This material change resulted in a weight reduction of 18 grams, or approximately 8.74 percent, compared to the previous model (iPhone 14 Pro: 206 grams; iPhone 15 Pro: 188 grams). Titanium is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, which increases the lifespan of the phone.

iPhone 15 Pro Max vs iPhone 14 Pro Max: Maximizing the experience

iPhone 15 Pro Max continues to impress with the sophistication of its design. Although both models are 8.25 mm thick (the same as the 15 Pro), the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a slightly shorter length at 159.9 mm and a narrower width at 76.7 mm. In comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is 160.7 mm long and 77.6 mm wide.

Perhaps the most important advantage of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is its lighter weight, at 221 grams compared to the 240 grams of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This surprising weight difference of 19 grams, or approximately 7.92 percent, can be attributed to the choice of materials.

In summary, the iPhone 15 series represents an exciting evolution in Apple’s smartphone lineup. While regular models retain familiar form factors with minor weight adjustments, Pro and Pro Max models bring significant changes such as the use of titanium and improved dimensions.

With these improvements, Apple continues its tradition of offering innovative and stylish devices to its target user base. The launch of the iPhone 15 series on September 12 promises to be an event that technology enthusiasts around the world will remember.
