The Cupertino giant has not hesitated to partially recycle the design of its most iconic smartphones to create new models, and according to a new leak at Apple, they are so committed to this strategy that they even considered the possibility recycle iphone 5c designa smartphone that we can consider the only real failure of the bitten apple in the mobile sector.

It’s not hard to appreciate this strategy on Apple’s part, because without going any further, both the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro and their Plus and Pro Max versions, they have the same line and the same flat frame that we saw on the iPhone 5sand ending with the double layer of glass that debuted in the iPhone 4. We also saw an even clearer design recycling in the iPhone SE, which adopted the lines of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 8.

The fact is that Apple has not yet decided on the design of the iPhone 15, and as I told you at the beginning, the latest information that we see suggests that the apple company could reuse the iPhone 5c design and transfer it, in whole or in part, to your next flagship smartphone. Nothing is decided at this point, that means it’s only a possibility and frankly, it would seem like a bad idea to me.

The iPhone 5c series with rounded nuances and a flat surface it was clearly inspired by the iPhone 3G, and while it might have suited a plastic smartphone with a more economical approach in its day, I think applying it to a high-end model would be a step backwards, both in terms of aesthetics and ergonomics. At the same time, I also believe it Apple should stop looking for inspiration in the past and that you would do well to dare to design a truly innovative iPhone. I know it’s asking a lot and most likely won’t be met, but to be honest, Apple isn’t the only one who sins with continuity.

We’ll see how this all plays out, but I’m inclined to think that Apple won’t end up reusing the iPhone 5c design. Returning to the iPhone 15, we already know that this new smartphone It will arrive in September next year., which will adopt the Dynamic Island and which will be equipped with the Apple A16 SoC, the same one used by the current iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The rest of its specifications are unknown, but it is rumored that Apple could keep the same RAM and storage configuration that we saw in the iPhone 14.
