New renders of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max from a “very reputable source.” This time smartphones were shown with regular buttons
The resource 9to5Mac has published new renderings of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max smartphones. The “updated and enlarged” pictures contain a couple of innovations that have been mentioned recently.
Recall that earlier 9to5Mac published high-quality renderings of the iPhone 15 Pro, they were based on data from various sources, including accessories manufacturers MFi. What has changed now? Firstly, it is reported that accessories manufacturers are now working with new CAD renders, and secondly, some new “very authoritative source” is mentioned (but it is not named).
In the pictures, the change is, in fact, one, but important: instead of the “solid-state tactile button” of volume control, the buttons are now separate and ordinary. These are the ones attributed to the iPhone 15 Pro by new rumors that appeared a couple of weeks ago. 9to5Mac points out that Apple decided to go back to conventional split keys due to the difficulty in manufacturing a solid button.
However, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are credited with a third button – it will replace the proprietary switch that activates the silent mode. According to rumors, this button will be multifunctional – like the Action Button in the Apple Watch Ultra. The third button is exclusive to the Pro models, while the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will still have the standard Mute switch.
Another render aims to showcase the slightly larger camera protrusion on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which is due to the presence of a periscope module. The regular iPhone 15 Pro will not have such a module, and therefore the camera protrusion will be slightly smaller. However, the difference here is hardly visible to the naked eye.
Otherwise, nothing has changed: the iPhone 15 Pro received a very thin screen frame, the most rounded side frame and a USB-C port.

They are giving up the iPhone. Motorola reveals 20% of Razr foldable smartphone buyers are ex-iPhone owners
Motorola isn’t even close to being the market leader in foldable smartphones, but its Razr models have proven to be a big draw for iPhone owners.
In an interview with CNet, Allison Yi, head of Motorola’s North American product division, said that of all Motorola’s products, the foldable Razr is the most popular among iPhone owners.
This is definitely the family we have the most iPhone users moving to.
It turns out that 20% of Razr buyers are former owners of Apple smartphones. They are probably attracted by the fresh form factor in which the iPhone is not presented and probably will not be presented for a long time. At the same time, we must remember that we are talking about North America, where, in addition to the Razr, only the Samsung Flip is in this form factor.
Motorola recently unveiled its new foldable smartphones, including the revolutionary cheap (in China) Moto Razr 40, but in the US, only the older Razr Plus (called the Moto Razr 40 Ultra in China) will sell for $1,000.

Still cheaper than any other similar smartphone, but not so revolutionary. Motorola Razr and Razr Plus will be more expensive in the global market than in China
Motorola yesterday introduced foldable smartphones Moto Razr 40 and Moto Razr 40 Ultra, which turned out to be cheaper than all competitors, and the younger model even offers a revolutionary price for this segment at $560. However, these are Chinese prices, and in the global market everything is different, since new items are significantly more expensive there.
To start with, the Moto Razr 40 is called the Razr in the global market, and the Moto Razr 40 Ultra is called the Razr Plus.
In the US, apparently, only the latter will be sold at a price of $1,000. In Europe, they will already ask for 1200 euros for it. The base model Razr will be available in select countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, but pricing has not yet been announced. It is expected that it will be around 700-800 euros. It’s still cheaper than other similar smartphones, but not as revolutionary as $560.
