Apple will launch the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models later this year with a boatload of changes on the outside. At this point, we are not sure if Apple will equip the iPhone 15 Pro models with solid-state buttons. As for the standard iPhone 15 models, the latest rumor suggests that the devices will use a "frosted glass" finish similar to the 'Pro' models and will be available in a new Cyan color option. Scroll down to read more details on the subject.

Standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus to feature a "frosted glass" back and a new color option, allowing the design to be streamlined with the iPhone 15 Pro

The rumor was posted on the Chinese social networking site Weibo, suggesting that the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will feature a frosted glass back. Up until now, the lower tier models have featured a glossy back that reflects light. Additionally, the source also claims that the two iPhone 15 models will come in a new Cyan color option. If you are unfamiliar, the color option will be a lot similar to the iPhone 12's green color option.

This year, Apple is working to upgrade the iPhone 15's design and hardware. Last year, the iPhone 14 came with the same design as the iPhone 13 with little to no visual differences. Even though the company introduced a 'Plus' model last year, it failed to bring in sales. This made users prefer the iPhone 13 instead of getting the latest, allowing the demand for the latest model to remain low. The similarities also stretched internally with the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 rocking the same A15 Bionic chipset. This year, the company is gearing up to launch a wide range of changes in an attempt to regain its footing with the standard models.

Apple introduces new iPhone colors every year, and this time, we should be looking forward to the new Cyan color option. It was previously reported that Apple will introduce the iPhone 15 Pro models in a deep red color. This will be the company's special color for the iPhone 15 Pro. As for the rear glass, the iPhone 15 will get a lot closer to the iPhone 15 Pro in terms of design. However, we can expect changes for the iPhone 15 Pro as well since the company likes to create differentiating elements between the two models.

Take note that these are mere rumors and speculations at this stage, and the final word rests with Apple. We will share more details on the iPhone 15's frosted glass back and the new Cyan color option as soon as further information is available.
