TIDES may be changing at Apple, where its newest iPhone 15 could be better designed for water.

Rumoured new features suggest the tech company is tossing out a decades worth of fashion focus to build the ultimate adventure phone.

A shift towards older, more durable technology among the younger generation in recent months may have prompted a significant change of design purpose at Apple.

Rumours suggest the iPhone 15, set to be unveiled officially in September, may be portless and instead rely on wireless charging.

This would make it a powerhouse model for underwater use, considering it will almost certainly be waterproof like Apple’s more recent models.

Onlookers are also anticipating an upgrade to the satellite messaging system that has been patented, making it a glossy handset built for adventure.

Designer Jonas Daehnert used the blueprint of the Apple Watch Ultra – which was given a rugged design for its active use, as a basis for what he believes the newest iPhone to look like.

Daehnert has grown popular in the tech space for his smartphone predictions.

Some tech fans have previously reported that the iPhone 15 may feature the first 3nm processor in Apple’s range, T3 reported.

This could boost the smartphone’s performance by as much as 15%, according to TSMC, the company which makes the processors.

Others have alluded to the device having a titanium frame, an incredibly strong but lightweight metal that will increase the handsets durability.

While it all sounds good, Apple is likely to be keeping a few tricks up its sleeves ahead of the launch later this year.
