The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to have a new midframe constructed of Grade 5 Titanium, which will result in a significantly lighter smartphone overall. According to Mark Gurman, the iPhone 15 Pro might be up to 10% lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro.
We received the exact measurements of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which appear to back up Gurman’s assertions.
iPhone 15 dimensions and weight:
- Thickness: 7.8mm
- Length: 147.6mm
- Width: 71.6mm
- Weight: 171 grams
With dimensions and weight comparable to the iPhone 14, the iPhone 15 entry-level model is the model with the least significant differences from the rest of the lineup. The iPhone 15 will maintain the same thickness as the model from the previous year, with minimal alterations to its length and width. Our sources indicate that the iPhone 15 will continue to use the same chassis material as the iPhone 14: 6013 T6 Aluminium. It is simple to understand why the weight of the standard iPhone 15 is comparable to that of the iPhone 14 given that there are no material or structural differences of significance.
Although the precise dimensions of the iPhone 15 Plus are unknown at the time of writing, it is safe to assume that the difference in size between the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 14 Plus is, at best, negligible. As no significant design, structural, or material changes are anticipated, the iPhone 15 Plus will likely have a similar weight to its predecessor.
iPhone 15 Pro dimensions and weight:
- Thickness: 8.25mm
- Length: 146.6mm
- Width: 70.6mm
- Weight: 188 grams
The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to progress in at least one important area — weight. Due to the change in materials, the iPhone 15 Pro will be 18 grams lighter than its predecessor. Our sources have confirmed that Apple is using Grade 5 Titanium for the iPhone 15 Pro, which is a significant departure from the stainless steel used in every previous Pro iPhone. Grade 5 Titanium, also known as Ti-6Al-4V, is a titanium alloy that is utilized in a variety of industries and is renowned for its superior corrosion resistance.
In terms of dimensions, the iPhone 15 Pro is anticipated to maintain a similar form factor to its predecessor, albeit with minor variations in length and width. The device’s thickness is a notable distinction, however. The iPhone 15 Pro is thicker than the iPhone 14 Pro, measuring 8.25mm compared to 7.85mm. Given that the company has previously used reduced thickness as a selling point for certain devices, the thickness change could be viewed as an intriguing decision. However, the iPhone 15 Pro display’s reduced bezel size will likely overshadow the increase in thickness.
LIPO, or “low-injection pressure over-molding,” is an acronym for “low-injection pressure over-molding” and is anticipated to be used in the iPhone 15 Pro’s display. The use of LIPO technology for iPhone 15 Pro displays is anticipated to reduce the bezel size from the current 2.2mm to approximately 1.55mm, as first reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and since independently confirmed by MacRumors.
iPhone 15 Pro Max dimensions and weight:
- Thickness: 8.25mm
- Length: 159.9mm
- Width: 76.7mm
- Weight: 221 grams
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is anticipated to feature the same modifications as the iPhone 15 Pro, including a 19-gram weight reduction compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max. As a result, it is safe to infer that the difference in weight between the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Pro is due to the change in materials, as opposed to significant structural or design differences.
Noting that the information presented here is pre-production information that may not reflect the hardware of mass-produced units, this is our best estimate of the iPhone 15 range’s dimensions. According to our sources, the iPhone 15 lineup has maintained the same dimensions throughout development, although Apple may have tested various hardware configurations that resulted in minor variations in weight.
