For some weeks there has been talk of the possibility that the next iPhone 15 will bring with it a great novelty that would mark a before and after in the iPhone. There was talk of the possibility of not having buttons as we know them so far and turning them into haptics. That is to say buttons that responded according to their pressure and the time they were pressed. With that, it would gain in size and also in practicality in addition to being something new. However, it was discarded and now It is still said that they will be integrated but to the iPhone 16.
The possibility that the new iPhone 15 will bring haptic (solid-state) buttons and not physical buttons as we know so far meant a breath of fresh air to the unbearable continuity that Apple undergoes with the iPhone. We assumed that this might be an incentive to see new things and to think that Apple engineers as well as designers still had new ideas. The idea was to be able to add a few buttons that didn’t protrude from the terminal and with that it would gain in size. But above all, something unusual would be achieved lately and that is that it was possible to change the physical appearance of the iPhone, in this case 15 Pro.
The rumors did not hesitate for too long and it immediately appeared that Apple had not arrived in time to be able to show this new physical aspect on the iPhone and with that the illusion of many was shattered. Now Bloomberg’s Gurman is back on the attack and tells us that idea hasn’t been discounted and that will be integrated into the iPhone 16. That is to say those of 2024-2025. This information was reaffirmed by another of the great analysts, Ming Chi Kuo. So if you recently bought an iPhone, you might want to skip bringing home the 15 model and calmly wait for the 16 with a year and a half left.
