Full iPhone 15 Pro design leaks out in stunning new unofficial renders

We're confident in assuming that the iPhone 15 series is going to be launched in September, and while we wait for these handsets to be official, we've got some high-quality renders of the Pro model from a reliable source.

That source is 9to5Mac, and the images that have been shared show off the iPhone 15 Pro from all angles – including from below, so we can see the new USB-C port that all the 2023 iPhones are rumored to be getting.

This is described as being a "significant upgrade", with the iPhone 15 Pro set to be housed in a titanium casing with a design that has rounder edges than the iPhone 14 Pro. The camera bump is also bigger, with lenses that protrude further out.

Buttons and bezels

We also get a look at the new solid-state buttons for volume control, mute and power. According to previous rumors, these are going to replace the conventional mechanical buttons, providing haptic feedback in place of physical movement.

The bezels are said to be smaller too: 1.55 millimeters to be precise. The glass display will be subtlety curved at the edges as well, as per this leak, "transitioning seamlessly into the titanium frame of the device" around the frame.

As mentioned previously, 9to5Mac says there's going to be a new deep red color for the iPhone 15 Pro, so look out for that. Finally, the dimensions of the phone are apparently slightly smaller than the 2022 model.

Analysis: a fine-looking iPhone

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, but based on these pictures, we'd say the iPhone 15 Pro is shaping up to be one of the best-looking iPhones yet – and we're assuming the other models in the range will be similar in their aesthetics.

We've always liked the more rounded look of iPhones past, rather than the straight and angular edges on the iPhone 14 and recent editions. We're assuming that it's going to make the smartphones feel better in the hand as well.

The switch to USB-C – under pressure from EU regulators – has long been talked about, and it should make finding a charger easier. However, you might need an Apple-approved cable to get the most out of the new-look port.

That new deep red color looks great too, and will be a welcome alternative to the usual silver and gray choices. As we've seen with the yellow iPhone 14, adding extra colors is an easy win for Apple, and we'd like to see even more of them down the line.

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Microsoft and Sony enter "binding agreement" to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

Microsoft has announced that it has reached a "binding agreement" with Sony, pledging to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.  With Microsoft having won its anti-trust case with the US Federal Trade Commission , its planned acquisition of Call of Duty developers Activision Blizzard has taken a big step closer to becoming a reality. In order to alleviate the concerns of monopoly-building that got Microsoft in legal hot water to begin with, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced yesterday via Tweet that it has entered into an "agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation."  This agreement will no doubt come as a relief to fans concerned that Microsoft's acquisition plans might result in Call of Duty becoming an Xbox exclusive, following in the footsteps of future Bethesda releases. Since Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda caused the studio to break its tradition of offering titles cross-platform for upcomi...

This Stardew Valley-like farming sim plays at the bottom of your screen so you work and play at the same time

Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are among some of the best choices out there if you're looking for a game to get swept up in for hours at a time. But, if you're a fan of management sims and a multitasker as well, this upcoming farming sim will likely pique your interest.  Developed by Mister Morris Games, Rusty's Retirement is an idle-farming simulation game that runs at the bottom of your gaming monitor, allowing you to focus on other tasks like working while you tend to your crops. Set to release in Q1 2024 on Steam , the idle sim puts you in the shoes of a wholesome robot as you grow crops and use them to produce clean and energy-efficient biofuel. Having gathered this "vital robot power source," you'll then need to sell your harvest to the other machine inhabitants of your settlement. This, in turn, will let you reinvest the money into expanding your farm. If you're a terrible procrastinator (like me) this might not sound like your cup of tea...
