Apple fans are faced with the exciting prospect of upgrading to the latest and most lavish technology with each new iPhone release. It’s natural for users to wonder if they can continue to use their beloved iPhone 14 Pro phone cases to protect their new device as the iPhone 15 Pro hits the market. We have to break the bad news in this blog post: iPhone 14 Pro phone cases will not fit the iPhone 15 Pro, and here’s why.<\/p>
When it comes to smartphone technology, Apple consistently pushes the envelope, and each new iPhone model usually introduces design changes and innovations. While Apple strives for consistency within a product generation, they frequently make minor changes that can have a significant impact on case compatibility.<\/p>
In general, Apple keeps physical dimensions like height and width relatively consistent across product generations. They can, however, relocate buttons, ports, or camera modules. Even if the changes appear minor, they can render older cases incompatible with the latest iPhone models.<\/p>
To understand why iPhone 14 Pro cases will not fit the iPhone 15 Pro, consider the following key differences:<\/p>
While the width and depth of the iPhone 14 and 15 are functionally identical (2.82 inches and.31 inches, respectively), there is some variation in height. The iPhone 15 stands 0.03 inches (1.1 mm) higher than the iPhone 14. This is only about the width of a credit card, but it’s enough to introduce some extra play in the fit on top of the previously mentioned issues with the new contoured body.<\/p>
This is your best chance of success. Dimensional differences between the 14 Plus and 15 Plus are extremely minor\u2014at most, half a millimetre. The problem with contoured edges remains, but it’s certainly worth a shot.<\/p>
The iPhone 15 Pro is slightly larger than the iPhone 14 Pro in terms of dimensions, but the main reason you shouldn’t use the old case is that it partially blocks the iPhone 15 Pro’s new Action Button, which replaces the iPhone’s historical silence switch.<\/p>
So, the answer to the question of whether the iPhone 14 Pro case will fit the iPhone 15 Pro is “No.” When comparing sizes, the new iPhone 15 Pro is slightly slimmer and shorter than the iPhone 14 Pro, and again, there is a new Action button. We’ve explained why your iPhone 14 Pro case won’t fit on the iPhone 15 Pro in detail below.<\/p>
