The latest iPhone 15 Pro leak reveals its new, lighter weight

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

One of the changes expected for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max (or iPhone 15 Ultra) this year is a switch to a titanium chassis – and we now have an idea of how much lighter that's going to make these two phones, compared with their predecessors.

According to tipster @Tech_Reve (via Notebookcheck), the choice to replace the stainless steel frame found on previous iPhones with the stronger and lighter titanium will indeed shave a few grams off the Pro models – though the differences aren't huge.

The iPhone 15 Pro is apparently going to weigh in at 191 grams, compared to the 206 grams of the iPhone 14 Pro. We're expecting the new phone to have the same dimensions as the old one though, and stick with the same screen size of 6.1 inches.

Moving on to the iPhone 15 Pro Max – and we're still not sure of that name – the prediction here is a weight of 221 grams, a reduction from 240 grams for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Again, the dimensions and screen size (6.7 inches) should stay the same.

Lighter and pricier

There have been grumblings about the relative heaviness of the larger Pro iPhone in recent years, and if the upcoming model manages to be lighter as well as stronger, then Apple might be able to convince a few more people to invest in it.

The trade-off is going to be the price, because titanium costs more. We've heard rumors of a $100 jump in how much you'll have to pay for the Pro and Pro Max models this year (with a rough currency conversion, that's £79 / AU$156 extra).

One of the biggest unknowns at the moment is whether or not the iPhone 15 Pro Max will actually be called the iPhone 15 Ultra. The leaks and rumors we've heard so far have swung both ways on this, so we're not sure what Apple is going to do.

This particular leak goes with the iPhone 15 Pro Max name, so we've stuck with that here. Namings, weights, and everything else should all be revealed next month, with an Apple event now expected to be scheduled for September 12 or 13.

AI tools are making social engineering attacks even more convincing, and I fear that this is only the beginning

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Nick Park’s Wallace and Gromit were brought crashing into the 21st century in December 2024 with their latest adventure, Vengeance Most Fowl . The film challenges our growing dependence on smart technology in the form of a robotic garden gnome, built by Wallace to support his gardening business, which is then hacked by the Kubrick-esque Feathers McGraw for his own nefarious purposes. One of the more interesting but less commented on parts of the film shows Gromit cautiously entering his house and being greeted by what he thinks is Wallace’s reassuring voice, only to be confronted with Feathers and the robotic gnome. Technology’s ability to mimic linguistic patterns, to clone a person’s voice and understand and respond to questions has developed dramatically in the last few years. This has not gone unnoticed by the world’s criminals and scammers, with the result that social engineering attacks are not only on the rise but are more sophisticated a...
