The iPhone 14 could easily be mistaken for its vanilla 13 forebear; however, according to a new rumor, the next-gen 15 will have a better chance of distinguishing itself in 2023. It will allegedly join the 15 Plus in developing a new kind of camera hump, thought to accommodate new upgrades found in the current Pro and Pro Max variants.

The iPhone 14 debuted with an underwhelming design update, having inherited the diagonal dual rear cameras found in the 13 before it. However, it is possible that its successor might manage to avoid such a fate in 2023.

A prolific Apple leaker has posted the phrase "new camera bump" in response to @AppleHub's latest summary of iPhone 15 series spec rumors to date on Twitter. The alleged tip may be directed as much at the iPhone "15" and "15 Plus", as the vanilla duo are projected to make the switch to 48MP main cameras as well as to 2.5D displays this year.

Therefore, it is just possible that they might finally step up to more Pro-grade fidget-spinner triple lenses (or a completely new housing of their own) to deploy their alleged spec upgrades. Then again, the Vtuber ShrimpApplePro has also inserted the disclaimer "don't quote me" along with this fresh line of iPhone design speculation.
