iPhone 15 Pro rumored to be thicker and lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro

The window for iPhone 15 rumors is only open for a few more days – these devices are almost certainly getting unveiled on Tuesday – but leaked information keeps on coming. The latest prediction to come our way concerns iPhone 15 weights and dimensions.

According to MacRumors sources, the iPhone 15 Pro is going to be both thicker and lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro that came before it. That reduction in weight is down to the previously reported switch from a stainless steel chassis to a titanium one, and matches up with earlier rumors that these phones would be lighter.

The iPhone 15 Pro will measure 146.6mm x 70.6mm x 8.25mm and weigh 188 grams, as per MacRumors. That compares to 147.5mm x 71.5mm x 7.85mm and 206 grams for the iPhone 14 Pro that you can currently buy from Apple.

It's a similar story for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, apparently. The thickness is said to be increasing from 7.85mm to 8.25mm, while the weight of the phone is dropping from 240 grams to 221 grams thanks to the switch to titanium.

Standard models

When it comes to the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus, MacRumors says that the dimensions and weights should be very similar to the previous models, with only minor differences. Here, aluminum is being used again for the phone casing.

One other point to note: the report mentions that these predictions are based on pre-production information, and that Apple may have subsequently changed a few aspects of the design before it was finalized.

We even get a specific mention of the titanium being used: it's said to be Grade 5 Titanium or Ti-6Al-4V, known for its "excellent corrosion resistance". These Pro models could be the toughest and longest-lasting iPhones put out by Apple yet.

All should be revealed on Tuesday when Apple has scheduled a special event in the calendar. As well as four iPhone models, we should also be seeing the Apple Watch 9 and quite possibly the Apple Watch Ultra 2 as well.

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...
