With the release of the iPhone 15, Apple has introduced several new features and advancements, making it a highly anticipated smartphone. One question that often arises is the compatibility of cases when a new one is launched. In this case, whether iPhone 14 cases fit with the new iPhone 15 series.
iPhone cases are often designed to fit specific iPhone models. The dimensions, button placements, and camera cutouts vary between different iPhone generations. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the case is specifically designed for the iPhone model you own or plan to purchase.
But in some cases where the old and new one have the same chassis and design, the cases can be used between two generations. Some examples are the iPhone 7/8, iPhone X/XS, and other more recent iPhones.

To know if the iPhone 14 cases fit the iPhone 15 series, we have to look at the design and dimensions. Since the design is almost identical with each other, comparing the dimensions is probably the main factor to check its compatibility. We’ve listed the iPhone 14 and 15 models dimensions below.
| Model | Dimensions (15) | Dimensions (14) | Model |
| iPhone 15 | 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.8 mm | 147 x 72 x 7.8 mm | iPhone 14 |
| iPhone 15 Plus | 160.9 x 77.8 x 7.8 mm | 161 x 78 x 7.8 mm | iPhone 14 Plus |
| iPhone 15 Pro | 146.6 x 70.6 x 8.25 mm | 147.5 x 71.5 x 7.85 mm | iPhone 14 Pro |
| iPhone 15 Pro Max | 159.9 x 76.7 x 8.25 mm | 160.7 x 77.6 x 7.85 mm | iPhone 14 Pro Max |
As you can see from the table above, it’s clear that the iPhone 14 cases will NOT fit the new iPhone 15. While the size differences look very small, it’s enough to make it incompatible.
In addition to the different dimensions, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max also have contoured edges and Action button instead of the old mute switch. The bezels around the screen are also slimmer compared to its predecessors.
