It seems like the iPhone 15 Pro is already generating much anticipation. Earlier today, we reported that it may end up getting the most RAM seen on an iPhone and now we have some news regarding a new design it may get for its volume and power buttons, no longer making them “physical.” Check out the details below to know more.
A recent word from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Apple will adopt the solid-state button design for the volume and power buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. These will replace the physical and mechanical button design and will essentially, mimic the feeling of pressing a button instead of the actual click.
(1/6)My latest survey indicates that the volume button and power button of two high-end iPhone 15/2H23 new iPhone models may adopt a solid-state button design (similar to the home button design of iPhone 7/8/SE2 & 3) to replace the physical/mechanical button design.— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) October 28, 2022
Kuo also anticipates that this new physical button-less design will be adopted by Android phone makers too so as to attract more people. This new addition is said to be “a structural positive for the mobile phone vibrator industry.” We are not sure how Apple will go about this but given Kuo’s track record, this might become a possibility.
