As the launch date of the much-anticipated Apple iPhone 15 series edges closer, there has been a recent unveiling of leaked images depicting a protective case supposedly designed for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. These photos, brought to light by noted informer Majin Bu, give us an intriguing preview of the potential design alterations that Apple's impending flagship smartphone might introduce.

One significant change discernible in these leaked images is the apparent relocation of the traditional Mute switch, which has remained consistent for nearly a decade and a half. In preceding iPhone iterations, the Mute switch was conveniently located on the top-left edge of the device, with a slender, flat oval aperture in the case facilitating effortless toggling.

Yet, this anticipated iPhone 15 Pro Max case shows a marked deviation from this familiar configuration. The slot traditionally occupied by the silent switch appears reinvented, with a more expansive and rounded design. Speculations are rife that this altered aperture might accommodate a novel "custom button" destined to supersede the conventional silent switch.

Previous murmurs in the tech world had already hinted at Apple's plan to substitute the time-honored Mute switch with a more flexible "custom button." Allegedly, this button will be integrated with a mini processor, empowering users to execute a variety of functions even during instances of low battery or when the device is switched off. Some of these potential functions include facilitating secure Apple Pay transactions and tracking the iPhone using the Find My iPhone feature.

Of particular note, the case flaunts a distinctive cutout for the camera module, potentially indicating an upgrade compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This more substantial cutout strongly suggests that Apple might be introducing a more sophisticated camera system in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
