iPhone 15 rumors have never been hard to come by, but it is now time for everything to come together into a physical dummy unit

The dummy unit (with dimensions and details for case and accessory manufacturers) proved to be very accurate with the iPhone 14 last June, so perhaps we can pretty much trust the information below Especially since it is consistent with the various rumors and leaks we have seen over the past few months

A dummy unit was revealed in the video above created by MacRumors, and at first glance, there are not many changes worth mentioning

The device is similar in size and shape to the current regular, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max models, although the touch is more rounded, as previously suggested by leaked sources Between the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12," is how host Dan Barbera described it Apparently, it is "less sharp" and "more comfortable in the hand"

These dummy devices reveal nothing about their contents, but they do confirm some things about how they will interact with the real thing when it arrives in September

As Apple has almost confirmed, USB-C is coming thanks to the EU directive, and Dynamic Island will be included in this entire lineup as promised

Also, the mute switch seems to have been replaced by a button, as expected However, this dummy model may be slightly outdated, as it shows a solid volume rocker, which is now said to be deferred to the 2024 iPhone

The camera appears to be the same overall, but Barbera reiterates rumors that the largest model - the iPhone 15 Ultra - will get a periscope lens with up to 6x optical zoom The larger components required may explain the slightly thicker design revealed in previous dummy models

These dummy units, of course, do not have the actual circuitry built in, but the actual models are expected to get a significant speed boost; the Pro and Ultra models are expected to get an impressive speed increase, enough to spur "replacement demand," according to suppliers, for A 17 chip is expected to be acquired Meanwhile, regular iPhone 15 devices will likely receive the upgrade to A16 that Pro users enjoyed in this generation

While all of this should be taken with a pinch of salt until officially confirmed, dummy units are generally quite reliable as Apple wants a ready supply of cases and accessories to support the new handset launch The presence of the volume rocker suggests that this may not be the final design, but it would be a big surprise if it really wasn't something very close
