iPhone 15 leak shows the screen glass for three models, and the Pros still look best

We’ve previously heard from numerous sources that every model in the iPhone 15 series will have a Dynamic Island instead of a notch, and now we’ve seen real evidence of that claim. A leaked video supposedly shows the screen glass for all three models in the line, and there’s no notch in sight.

The leak was originally posted on Chinese social media, but was spotted by leaker ShrimpApplePro (via Apple Insider), who reposted the videos on Twitter.

As you can see in the video below, the front panels for three phones have been shown off, specifically the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max (or iPhone 15 Ultra, as it might be called).

All three of them have a large cut-out in the screen, with a smaller one to the right of it, which in practice will probably spend most of the time looking like one big cut-out, as is the case on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The bezels also appear to have a slight curve to them. We’ve previously head rumors that the sides of these phones would curve slightly, so this lines up with that.

Speaking of the bezels, they’re noticeably larger on one of the three panels shown than the other two. Presumably, then, that’s the standard iPhone 15, while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max look to have barely-there bezels that are even smaller than those on the current models.

If this is accurate, then even with every iPhone 15 model having a Dynamic Island, the Pro and Pro Max will look slightly more premium from the front.

We’d take this leak with a pinch of salt, of course, but ShrimpApplePro has a reasonable track record, and while they’re not the original source of this leak, they claim to have been able to confirm its authenticity.

Analysis: The iPhone 15 Pro could be a visual upgrade in a number of ways

It’s not just possibly smaller bezels that will help the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max stand out from the standard models, as we’ve also heard of other visual upgrades these phones might get.

The biggest one is a move to a titanium frame, which is stronger, lighter, and more expensive than the stainless steel used by the iPhone 14 Pro, and it’s even more of an upgrade on the aluminum used by the iPhone 14. A leaked image has shown how this might look, complete with a brushed metal finish that isn’t present on current models.

Beyond that, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will probably also have more rear cameras than the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, with three rather than two.

So, even before we get to the internal specs, the Pro models will likely be a clear step up from the standard ones, even if all four phones do have a Dynamic Island. If you want one of the best iPhones this year, then, you might have to go Pro.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Quantum computers are fast becoming cheaper and smaller — and they could be coming to a data center near you very soon

IonQ claims we’re closer to widespread enterprise quantum computing deployment as it lifted the lid on two rack-mounted models that can be deployed on-premises.   The startup has built the fourth-generation #AQ35 IonQ Forte Enterprise and fifth-generation #AQ64 IonQ Tempo, both of which are designed to be deployed in enterprise and government data centers. It’s also said it is deploying two quantum computers to the US Air Force.  While revealing these two models, IonQ co-founder and CTO Jungsang Kim said quantum computers are already in use by enterprises to churn through machine learning workloads. This, he added, suggests we’re much closer to readily available and affordable machines. Priming enterprises for a quantum future “We believe in the enterprise-grade quantum computing, which is where it can be something of value for enterprises, can happen in the next few years as we build powerful enough quantum computers that can actually do things that classical computers w...

Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU could get cheaper with a new version – but don’t get your hopes up

Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is purportedly getting a new spin on the GPU which could reduce the cost, but any price reduction will likely be very minor, sadly, if it happens at all. Tom’s Hardware flagged up this rumor – and treat it with caution, as with anything from the ever-spinning mill – that originated from HKEPC (a tech site in Hong Kong), claiming that while the current RTX 4080 graphics card is built on the AD103-300 chip, Nvidia is going to use a slightly different GPU in the future, namely AD103-301. There’s now more evidence this is actually happening, Tom’s points out, courtesy of a graphics card maker, Galax, which under its RTX 4080 product details lists the GPU as ‘AD103-300/301’. Furthermore, VideoCardz , which also picked up on this, informs us that Gainward, another card maker, has also listed the updated GPU variant AD103-301 in its product specs. With two separate third-party graphics card makers mentioning this new spin on the GPU in their specs, it seems pret...
