Okay, so I saw this question popping up everywhere online: “Will an iPhone 12 case fit an iPhone 15?” And honestly, I was kinda curious myself. I mean, I still have my old iPhone 12 case lying around, and my new iPhone 15 just arrived. So, I figured, why not try it out and see what happens?
The Experiment Begins
First, I grabbed my iPhone 12 case. It’s a simple, clear silicone one, nothing fancy. Then, I unboxed my shiny new iPhone 15. Right away, I could see some differences. The iPhone 15 felt a bit… different, shape-wise.
I tried to slip the iPhone 15 into the 12 case. And… nope. No way. It wouldn’t even go in halfway.
Why It Didn’t Work
- Size Difference: The iPhone 15 is slightly thicker and has a more contoured, rounded design compared to the more flat-edged iPhone 12.
- Camera Bump: The camera bump on the iPhone 15 is significantly larger. The iPhone 12 case’s camera cutout is way too small to accommodate it.
- Button Placement: Even if I could force the phone in (which I definitely couldn’t), the button placements are slightly different. The Action button on the iPhone 15 replaces the mute switch on the iPhone 12, and the volume buttons are a bit shifted.
The Verdict
So, there you have it. My hands-on experiment clearly showed that, no, an iPhone 12 case will absolutely not fit an iPhone 15. I’m was get new case right now!
It was a fun little experiment, though! Now I know for sure, and hopefully, this helps anyone else wondering the same thing. Don’t try to force it; you’ll just end up needing a new case anyway (and potentially scratching your new phone!).
