Yes, the iPhone 14 has only just been released and the rumors about the iPhone 15 are already starting to simmer. This time it comes from a well-known observer.
Ming-Chi Kuo, who is known as a particularly well-informed Apple analyst when it comes to iPhones, just posted a lengthy tweet on what seems to be affecting the iPhone 15 Pro. With the program the total disappearance of the buttons. This is to be taken with caution, but in general, man is rarely wrong.
More buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro?
Here’s the relevant Twitter thread:
My latest investigation shows that the volume button and power button of two new high-end iPhone 15 Pro models may use a solid-state button design (similar to the home button design of the iPhone 7/8/SE2 & 3) adopt to replace physical/mechanical button design.
Taptic motors are located on the left and right interior to provide force feedback and make users feel like they are pressing physical buttons.
Because of this design change, the number of Taptic Engines used in each iPhone will increase from one to three. Therefore, the current suppliers of the Taptic Engine, Luxshare ICT (1st supplier) and AAC Technologies (2nd supplier), will be the main beneficiaries.High-end Android smartphones are also expected to follow Apple’s design to create new selling points.
The buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro and Max would be replaced with technology similar to the Home/Touch ID button on the older iPhone models. We don’t have any details on the subject, but it’s still close to Apple’s ultimate dream of offering a smartphone that only has one screen. Without “superficial” elements that could disturb the design or handling.
What do you think of the possible disappearance of buttons on the iPhone Pro 15 and Pro Max? Do you think this is a real development?
