iPhone 15 series CAD file leaked, USB Type-C port and Dynamic Island implemented?
Apple announces the new iPhone at the new product launch event held in September every year. The iPhone 15 is expected to be announced in September 2023, but Apple-related news site 9to5Mac reported that the 3D CAD files of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 were available, and reported the contents ahead of time. I'm here.

According to 9to5Mac, a series of CAD files leaked from a factory in China. These CAD files are provided to some factories to design a special case before the device body is released.
The biggest feature of the iPhone 15 series that can be seen from this CAD file is the ``Dynamic Island implementation'' installed in the iPhone 14 Pro. Dynamic Island is a function that makes the in-camera and TrueDepth camera located at the top of the display a punch-hole type instead of a notch, and at the same time uses the surrounding area as an area for displaying activities such as alerts and timers. You can understand what Dynamic Island actually is by reading the following article.

In the iPhone 14 series, Dynamic Island was only installed on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, in the iPhone 15 series, all four models, including the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, use Dynamic Island, 9to5Mac said.
The following images are CAD files (left) and CG models (right), respectively, with iPhone 15 Pro on the left and iPhone 15 on the right.
There are two main cameras on the back of the iPhone 15 (left) and three iPhone 15 Pro (right).
And the big feature along with Dynamic Island is 'adoption of USB Type-C port'. In October 2022, the EU passed a ``bill that requires all smartphones and tablets to have a USB Type-C port,'' and Apple is required to support USB Type-C in order to sell iPhones in Europe. It was become a thing.

For this reason, it is inevitable that the iPhone 15 series, which is expected to be announced in 2023, will replace the Lightning port that was installed in previous iPhones with a USB Type-C port. The maximum transfer speed of the conventional Lightning standard is 480 Mbps, which is equivalent to USB 2.0, and while the size of data handled by the iPhone, such as images and videos, is increasing, USB supports faster power supply with a maximum transfer speed of 10 Gbps. Migrating to Type-C will also be a great advantage for users.
Unknownz21, who is familiar with leak information on Apple-related devices, has released an image of the iPhone 15 on Twitter and an image showing that it has a USB Type-C port.
Who needs half-baked renders when you have the real thing?

Also, the display size of the iPhone 15 will be 6.2 inches. The iPhone 14 was 6.1 inches, so the display size will be slightly larger than the previous model. The resolution and refresh rate are unknown at the time of article creation.
And 9to5Mac said, ``Looking at the CAD file, the iPhone 15 has physical buttons like previous iPhones, and capacitive buttons may only be installed on the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max.'' reporting. This is in line with what analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expected in October 2022.
