Supply chain news indicates that Apple's iPhone 15 Pro will use a new metal middle frame made of G5-grade titanium alloy, making the overall weight significantly lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro. The following is the accurate size data obtained by MacRumors. We can see that the regular version of iPhone 15 is not much different from the previous generation. The weight is only reduced by 1 gram, while the changes in the iPhone 15 Pro series are more obvious:
iPhone 15 regular version

- Thickness: 7.8mm

- Weight: 172 g
According to MacRumors information sources, iPhone 15 will continue to use the exact same frame material as iPhone 14 - 6013-T6 aluminum alloy. It can be considered that the size difference between iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 14 Plus is minimal, and it should also have the same frame material as iPhone 14. Similar weight to its predecessor.
iPhone 15 Pro dimensions and weight:

iPhone 14 Pro dimensions and weight:
- Thickness: 7.85mm
- Length: 147.5mm

To put it simply, iPhone 15 Pro will use a new metal middle frame made of G5-grade titanium alloy, which will be 18 grams lighter than its predecessor, a reduction of about 8.74%. This metal is most famous for its excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
In terms of size, Apple iPhone 15 Pro will maintain a similar shape to its predecessor, with only slight differences in the length and width of the device, but the thickness has increased to 8.25mm. However, the iPhone 15 Pro may mask the problems caused by the increased thickness due to the narrowing of the screen borders.
According to Mark Gurman and confirmed by MacRumors, the Apple iPhone 15 Pro screen frame will be reduced from the current 2.2mm to about 1.55mm.
iPhone 15 Pro Max dimensions and weight:
- Thickness: 8.25mm

This generation of Pro Max is 19 grams lighter, about 7.92%, than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and this advantage only lies in the difference in materials.
The information obtained by MacRumors is based on pre-production models. Although it is likely to be the specifications of mass-produced models, there are certain variables.
According to MacRumors, the iPhone 15 series has remained dimensionally unchanged throughout development, but there may be minor weight differences due to different hardware configurations Apple tests.
The iPhone 15 series is expected to be powered by the A16 Bionic chip, which is rumored to be manufactured using a 4nm process. It is also expected to have a new 48MP rear camera system.
The iPhone 15 series is expected to be released in September 2023.
