According to new details shared by two tipsters, the camera bump on the upcoming iPhone 15 Ultra will be smaller than previously indicated.
The rear panel of the iPhone has a slightly protruding camera bump that houses the camera sensors. While it is not a fan-favorite feature, the camera bump gives Apple the chance to use high-quality camera technology without increasing the thickness or weight of its smartphone.
To recap, the American tech firm got mixed reactions from its consumers when it first introduced a huge camera bump on the iPhone 11. Despite facing criticism, Apple retained this distinctive feature on all succeeding iPhone models.

Tipster ShrimpApplePro, on the other hand, shared a few CAD images from a case manufacturer that indicates the camera bump will be 9.6 percent thinner. Moreover, ShrimpApplePro divulged details about the upcoming device’s solid-state buttons, which will reportedly replace mechanical buttons.
The solid-state buttons on the iPhone 15 Ultra could give haptic feedback and comprise a programmable action button. The leaked images also suggest the rear flash’s diameter will be smaller. The microphone’s diameter will also decrease, according to a GizmoChina report.
Aside from this, the iPhone 15 Ultra’s solid-state buttons will have padding on top to make them compatible with phone cases. Lastly, these solid-state buttons aren’t likely to break easily and will be designed to stand the test of time.
