Alleged Real-World iPhone 15 Chassis Image Shows Black Finish and Side Button Cutout

An alleged real-world image of the right side of an iPhone 15 model's chassis has today been shared online, showing a cutout for the Side button and a black or "Midnight" finish.

The image, shared by Twitter user @lipilipsi, purportedly shows several chassis for one of the ‌iPhone 15‌ models. The cutout for the Side button matches renders of the iPhone 15 Pro, which is expected to move to solid-state buttons with haptic feedback, but this is the first time it has been seen in real-world images.

It is unclear whether the image shows a standard ‌iPhone 15‌ or an iPhone 15 Pro model. The chassis seems to be anodized in a black or "Midnight" color with a matte finish, which would indicate a standard ‌iPhone 15‌ model, in contrast to the ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌'s brushed titanium finish. On the other hand, only this year's "Pro" models are expected to get solid-state buttons.

It is likely the case that the image does actually show a standard ‌iPhone 15‌ model, and the cutout is actually designed for a mechanical button, since the two standard iPhone models are not expected to get haptic buttons this year. Leaker ShrimpApplePro has suggested that the chassis could actually be a modification casing designed for an older ‌iPhone‌ model, so the image should be taken with a pinch of salt at the current time.

Apple Says 128GB iPhone 15 Pro Limited to 1080p ProRes Video Recording Unless External Storage Connected

ProRes video recording remains limited to 1080p quality at 30 frames per second on the 128GB model of the iPhone 15 Pro, unless the device is recording directly to a connected external storage drive , according to Apple. On the 256GB and higher iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, ProRes video recording is supported in up to 4K quality at 60 frames per second to both internal storage and external storage. Apple does not mention this information on the iPhone 15 Pro's tech specs page on its website, but the limitation is listed when comparing the iPhone 15 Pro to another iPhone model in the Apple Store app, as seen in the screenshot below. The same limitation applied to iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro models with 128GB of storage, but those devices cannot record ProRes video to external storage, so at least iPhone 15 Pro users have that option this time around. The limitation does not apply to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, as that model starts with 256GB of storage. ProRes video fi
