iPhone 15 Pro Edges - 15 vs 14

[Royal Gala]

Apple made the change to a contoured edge design on the iPhone 15 to improve the feel of the phone in hand. On appearances alone I think that the design of the iPhone 14 looks nicer.

Curious to see if anyone else feels this way?

Just talking looks the flat edges, but comfortwise I'm amazed at how much of a difference the contoured edge makes.

Just as @dz5b609 said, looks wise I prefer the 14 series, but actual day to day life the 15 by a long shot, quite amazing what little change can due especially in regards to comfort

I very much prefer the contoured edges of the 15 series, even though I'd wish for them to bring back the rounded design of the 11 Pro, both because of looks and haptics.

Looks is 14PM. Better feel is 15PM. Content with both.

I know it's crazy, but just a few weeks after the 15 announcement, I already find the 14 to be looking old fashioned.
Comfort-wise, I also prefer the 15P.

Love iPhone 15 pro max contour design better.

Thanks all - a clear Macrumours consensus in favour of the 15 design. My own thoughts aside, looks like Apple’s onto a winner with the new approach.

Obviously those that bought a 15 will vote 15 lol

Would be no diff in a case?

Mmmm and anyone who likes the new design regardless of which model they own.

On the case - the question is about the phone’s design, not the design of a case

I've been playing with my 16 Pro and 13 Pro side by side. I do think the 13 Pro has an edge in design, it feels more special and is thinner.

I enjoy the 16 Pro as well, but there's some subjectivity here.

Having owned the 12, 13 Pro and 14 Pro Max, the sharp edges were something I never really liked and always thought that there has to be something in between the sharp edges of the 12/13/14 and the super compfy but IMO ugly round edges of the X/11.

So holding a 15 was like a big: oh yeah! That’s it. I just love the contoured edges.
