Apple to re-design the classic mute button!

Images purporting to be of the iPhone 15 Pro Case have been circulating on the internet. According to the pictures, there is a casing to house new mute button, which will replace the long-standing mute switch above the volume controls. The power and volume buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro will be somewhat lower than on the iPhone 14 Pro models.

Apple to have a USB-C port and removable battery?

The European Union has mandated all mobile phones, tablets and cameras sold in the region be equipped with a USB Type-C charging port by the end of 2024. Another EU law, which is not implemented yet, restricts manufacturers from selling smartphones that require additional tools to open up to the battery.

In the leaked pictures of the purported iPhone 15 Pro case, you can also see a wider cutout in the bottom reported to be for a USB-C port that replaces the Lightning port on Apple smartphone models. And now, according to Smartprix, upcoming iPhones may also feature a removable battery option.

Curved and thinner bezels

The next-generation "Pro" iPhone models will continue to feature flat screens but with curved and slimmer bezels. This combination of reduced bezels and curved edges might give the Apple Watch Series 7 and Series 8 a similar appearance, MacRumors reported.

However, going with the long tradition, Apple has kept everything secret for launch day, these are simply rumours, so certain specifications may end up changing.
