Will The Iphone 14 Case Fit The Iphone 15 Answered
iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14 : Design Changes
To determine whether your iPhone 14 case fits the new iPhone 15, it is essential to understand the design differences between the two models.
- Dimensions: Apple tends to make subtle changes in its new iPhones, and the same is the case with iPhone 15 as well. While both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 models share identical Width and depth (2.82 inches and .31 inches, respectively), Apple has made a little deviation in terms of height. The iPhone 15 is .03 inches (1.1 mm) taller than the iPhone 14. Also this time, Apple has opted for little contoured edges, while the iPhone 14 has flat edges.

- Camera Bump: The camera bump is another critical factor. On the iPhone 15, Apple has added a new 48MP main camera lens, as opposed to the 12MP one on the iPhone 14. This can lead to variations in the shape and size of the camera cutout on your case.
- Button Placement: The position of buttons, such as volume rockers, power buttons, and the mute switch is another important factor. While the button placement of iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 looks identical, we expect a little deviation due to the height difference.
- Ports and Speaker Grill: This is where Apple has completely changed its game with the iPhone 15, as on the iPhone 15 you get the all-new type C port instead of the lightning port you find on all other previous generations. So, your iPhone 14 case most probably does not have the precise cutout for the iPhone 15’s new USB-C charging port.
Will Your iPhone 14 Case Fit the iPhone 15?
Going by the things we discussed in the previous section, there is little height difference between the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 14, and the iPhone 15 also has a new charging port. While the difference is minimal, it is still enough to create fit issues. On top of it, the new iPhone 15 has a contoured shape. You can still give it a try, as there is no harm in trying, but don’t expect a perfect fit.
