[Facebook]([Twitter]([Instagram]( [Website](  The iPhone 15 sounds sexier with each new design leak POCKET-LINT What's happened? Thanks to previous leaks, we're already anticipating a few design tweaks for Apple's next iPhone models, with the iPhone 15 Pro expected to get a new titanium construction and the iPhone 15 borrowing the Dynamic Island from the iPhone 14 Pro. Now, a new report suggests that it'll take another design cue from Apple's best iPhones. Why does it matter? It claims Apple will ditch the smooth finish of the iPhone 14 and replace it with the frosted glass effect that Pro iPhone owners are already familiar with. What's more, we're told that the iPhone 15 is getting a new colour as well. What's my take? To be honest, it's been a while since Apple truly broke new ground with its iPhone design - with 2017's iPhone X being the last to make a major generational jump. However, that can partly be put down to the fact that the company seems to have found a design language that's both aesthetically pleasing and practical in equal measure. Why fix what's not already broken? Instead, we'll get variations on a theme this year, it seems, with a number of Pro-level tweaks making their way down the family. That'll certainly be great for those without the deepest pockets. Let's just hope there'll be enough new for the Pro users too.  Volkswagen ID.7 first impressions: A closer look at VW's long-range electric car POCKET-LINT What's happened? Volkswagen has pulled the covers off its latest electric car, the VW ID.7. Filling that saloon or sedan position - although there will also be an station wagon version too - it takes VW's electrification plans forward a big step. This model gives more interior space than the ID.4, with longer range and immediate appeal as an executive saloon to compete with the likes of the smaller BMW i4 or Polestar 2 - and move away from the electric SUVs that have dominated launches over the last couple of years. We got to take an initial look at it during the official unveiling. Our quick verdict Moving into a new category, the VW ID.7 offers the longest range of any ID model so far, while also giving plenty of space. It debuts a new interior design and interface, giving plenty to be excited about when it launches in Q4 2023. [Read our first impressions](.  In Case You Missed it What is Monster Hunter Now?
