The iPhone 15 will not have official Apple leather cases, according to a report from 9to5Mac and leakers who support the information.
The reasons why the iPhone 15 will not have leather cases are not mentioned by any of the sources, but it is possible that it has to do with the pollution generated by this type of case.
9to5Mac, echoing information from AZO Materials, mentions that some manufacturers such as Mercedes Benz, Land Rover, and Ferrari offer non-leather alternatives for their seats and details inside the cars.
The 9to5Mac report mentions that Apple would use another premium material to replace the leather, following what automakers are doing. The report didn’t mention what this new material would be.
It is logical to believe that Apple, a company that boasts of its multiple efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and become a more eco-friendly company while maintaining its operations, seeks more ways to reduce its polluting emissions.
If Apple chooses to remove leather cases, it won’t be long before it is officially known. It is rumored that Apple will present the iPhone 15 —and new accessories— in mid-September. The Cupertino firm has not yet issued its anticipated event invitations, but it’s a matter of time before it happens.
