Apple iPhone 15 Pro models to weigh lesser and offer improved battery life

The Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will come with a slightly bigger screen while reducing the borders around the screen by 1/3rd using the new manufacturing process called LIPO, or low-injection pressure overmolding. 

iPhone 15 Pro dimensions: 

Thickness: 8.25 mm

Weight: 188 grams 

Width: 70.6 mm 

Length: 146.6 mm 

The Macrumors report suggests that the new iPhone 15 Pro will be 18 grams lighter than its predecessor. It is also expected to have a slightly thicker design as compared to the iPhone 14 Pro model, with 8.25mm thickness compared to the 7.85 mm on its predecessor. 

iPhone 15 Pro Max dimensions: 

Thickness: 7.85mm

Length: 160.7mm

Width: 77.6mm

Weight: 240 grams

Similarly, the iPhone 15 Pro Max model could weight 19 grams lesser than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, the report notes that these estimates are pre-production information and might not reflect the hardware of mass production unit.

The Macrumors report notes that iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will come with Grade 5 Titanium also known as Ti-6Al-4V which is a titanium alloy known for its corrosion resistance properties. 

A Bloomberg report had recently suggested that the switch to titanium on the Pro devices will help make the phones more durable while making them 10% lighter. 

The same report also noted that the iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to get the faster A 17 chipset built on top of the new 3-nanometer production process and paired with additional memory. The new enhancements are expected to make the phones even faster and lead to significant improvements in battery life. 

Moreover, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to come with an updated telephoto lens which will effectively double the iPhone’s zoom ability using the physical lens for zooming in instead of software.
