pretty crazy that we're just in March
and we already have so much information
on the iPhone 15. like the cad models
for all four models were leaked
alongside the new red color basically
showing us the full design of the iPhone
15 lineup but that's not all as we now
have five fresh new iPhone 15 leaks to
talk about starting off with number one
the front glass so a couple of Chinese
websites started sharing videos of what
appears to be the front glass of the
iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Pro these
were followed by more videos shared by
shrimp Apple Pro and liquor unknown Zed
21 and given the track record of
especially shrimp Apple Pro there is a
good chance that these front glass
panels are actually real so what do
these front glass panels tell us well
the most obvious thing is that both seem
to feature the dynamic Island something
that was noticeable from the cad model
leaks as well as something that has been
reported before that the regular iPhone
15s would also be getting the dynamic
Island this year the next object biggest
thing are the bezel sizes you can see
how the iPhone 15's bezels are about the
same size as the 14 Pros but the 15 Pros
bezels are about half as thin making
them possibly the thinnest bezels on any
smartphone to date we did think that the
bezels on the cad models looked a bit
too thin but as a matter of fact it
seems like they will indeed be this thin
and fun fact this will now be the first
time since the iPhone 11s when the
non-prom models have thicker bezels
therefore making them visually inferior
to the Pro Models something that Apple
has also been doing with the iPads now
aside from just looking great and even
more modern there is one advantage to
having these thinner bezels and that is
the extra space between the dynamic
islands and the top of the screen if you
take a closer look you'll see that
you'll get a tiny bit more space with
the iPhone 15 Pro compared to the iPhone
15. it won't really make a difference
when you're using it but it is a good
Improvement you see I should also
mention that the black bezels are a tiny
bit curved uh something that was also
suggested from the cad models in order
for them to better match and blend in
with that more rounded frame of the
iPhone 15s we did realize this too when
we modeled our concept number two
according to minchiko Apple will be
upgrading the lidar module inside the
iPhone 15 Pros to a new module now
manufactured by Sony as opposed to
momentum and win semi the main advantage
here would be either a lower power
consumption or a better lidar
performance under the same power
consumption as the iPhone 14 pro now
given that that lighter module is barely
even used as it is Apple doesn't really
need to reduce its power consumption so
the new Sony sensor would likely be used
to make the lidar module more accurate
personally I just think that the lighter
module could easily be removed and no
one would even notice like don't get me
wrong I absolutely love how accurate the
measurements are in Apple's own
measurements app but are in that and the
Ikea place app I've never really found
any use case for it like I know that
apple uses it for portrait mode photos
but other manufacturers don't and some
even get better results than Apple does
plus most people don't even know what
that black dot on their back of their
iPhone is anyways so it's definitely
underutilized right now and removing it
wouldn't really make much of a
difference to like 99.9 percent of users
but I guess that it doesn't really cost
Apple much to include it and it does
help the development of their Arsen VR
headset reason why they've you know kept
it for so long and they keep on
improving it something else that doesn't
cost much is keeping your iPhone or
Android protected and that's where ESR
our sponsored for this video comes into
play ESR has four products for us
starting with the Christ that clear case
which offers a one-year stay clear
pledge to stop yellowing using the exact
same manufacturing methods as Apple's
own clear cases for long lasting Clarity
then the classic kickstand case offers
military grade protection and also a
camera guard kickstand made out of the
zinc alloy to retain its strength after
after more than 3 000 uses for heavy
duty use you have the two piece shock
armor kickstand case for 360 Degree
protection exceeding military grade with
the same durable kickstand and to keep
your camera safe esr's lens protectors
retain the same image quality while also
having considerable scratch resistance
for a 10 discount on these s20 cases on
Amazon use the codes down below and for
iPhone users check out their Halo lock
range and now back to the video at
number three we have some updates
regarding the iPhone 15's display so
ever since the iPhone 13 Pros came out
we've had 120 hertz promotion displays
on the pro models of the iPhones and
ever since the iPhone 14 Pros we've had
an always-on display and even though a
lot of low end Android phones have 120hz
panels too and it makes zero sense for
Apple's 800 iPhones to still be using
60hz panels that's not changing anytime
soon as a new report claims that the
regular iPhone 15s would once again lack
promotion as well as always on yeah I
don't think that anyone's surprised here
really but we do have some good news
here as well so according to economic
Daily News Apple will now be using a
more power efficient display driver chip
inside the iPhone 15s which would likely
result in a longer battery life I guess
the real question isn't when Apple would
bring promotion and always on to the
standard iPhone models but if they'll
even do that at all and keep in mind
that Apple added promotion to the iPads
in 2017 with a second gen iPad Pro and
six years later it is still only found
on the iPad pros at number 4 we have
some updates on the haptic volume
buttons on the iPhone 15 Pros so as some
of you might already know while we were
modeling our iPhone 15 Pro concept we
realized that the volume buttons could
actually be one large button instead of
the two separate ones that we've had
before that was because the mounting
system that was visible in the cad
models was more similar to the one found
in the power button of the iPhone 14 so
then the volume buttons I also mentioned
that the new Switch would likely be
updated to a normal button rather than a
switch again based on the connection
pins on the cad model so I tweeted about
this and my tweet was then picked up by
Mac Rumors Tom's guide tech radar which
was a very nice surprise and shortly
after 95 Mac came out and said that
indeed this will be the case according
to their sources and yeah I personally
don't mind the change I do like the idea
of having two extra haptic engines
inside my iPhone for a total of three
rather than just a single haptic engine
I think this would improve all the
haptics throughout the entire phone not
just you know on on the volume button
side I do find it weird that they had to
remove the pressable buttons in order to
do this as they didn't really take up
that much space inside anyways so I'm a
bit curious as to how they actually made
that extra space for those two fairly
large haptic Motors in fact something
that does take a lot of space inside is
that SIM tray which as you probably know
they have removed it from the US models
with the iPhone 14s and and those are
esim only but it turns out that instead
of filling that space with you know
something useful they just kept it empty
and added this pretty huge uh plastic
tray in its place so if anything it
would make a lot of sense for all models
globally to now be esim only and for
that extra space to be used for those
two extra haptic engines of course the
only problem is that esim is still not
used by every carrier yet and many
countries don't even support esim at all
so yeah I just don't see this happening
for a good number of years and number
five we have some updates on um that USB
C port and no don't worry USBC is still
happening and so are those slower speeds
on the regular iPhone 15 models sadly
the news here is regarding Apple's mfi
program or the made for iPhone iPad and
iPod program as some of you might know
almost every single third-party lighting
cable that you can buy has this mfi
label on it and what this means is that
this cable has been made in accordance
into Apple's very strict requirements
that cover what specific materials to
use how much distance there should be
between the pins and so on cables that
are not mfi certified are what Apple
labels as counterfeit and they might not
charge your device properly they might
be loose when connected to your phone
and they might not even support the data
transfer at all so mfi is definitely
something that you should look for when
buying a lightning cable the problem is
that every single manufacturer that
takes Parts in the mfi program needs to
pay Apple a royalty fee of four dollars
for each mfi cable or accessory sold
that is insane this is also why NFI
cables are usually more expensive than
the non-mfi ones the mfi program has
been a very good business for Apple
likely generating billions in Revenue
however unlike lightning USBC is an open
standard so like probably all of you I
initially thought that Apple would
obviously not have an mfi program at all
anymore but it turns out that they will
shrimp bubble Pro reports that not only
will Apple have an mfi USBC program
which is absolutely ridiculous given
that USBC is an open standard but that
Apple will be limiting the data and
charging speeds of non-mfi cables
through software that is insane like
remember that USBC like I said Is An
Open standard so Apple has no say in the
specifics of what goes inside of the
USBC cable so my guess here is that all
that this NFI USBC program would do is
tell manufacturers that their cables
have to support 20 watt fast charging
for you know fast charging iPhones as
well as us USB 3.2 transfer speeds to
get those faster speeds on the iPhone 15
Pros so as long as the manufacturers
make cables that match these two
specifications and then also pay Apple
the four dollar royalty fee then they
won't be restricted in terms of speeds
and charging this is messed up in so
many ways remember that apple does not
have an mfi program for the max yet they
will have one for the iPhones because
obviously iPhones are a domain business
not even to mention that the iPhone 15
would still only have USB 2.0 transfer
speeds despite these upcoming
requirements for the mfi program this
also means that even though the iPhone
is getting USBC you won't actually be
able to use the same cable to charge all
of your devices at full speed unless
that cable is mfi certified do let me
know your thoughts on all of this and
definitely stay tuned for more leak
Summers episodes as there's still a lot
to cover on the iPhone 15 that we didn't
get to cover in this video If you want
to get some good deals on iPhones and
other Apple products tap the shuffle
cards down below I'm Daniel timings of
tech and I'll see you guys in the next
