Oct. 28, 2022

It seems like the iPhone 15 Pro is already generating much anticipation. Earlier today, wereportedthat 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.

No Physical Buttons for iPhone 15 Pro?

A recent word from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests thatApple will adopt the solid-state button design for the volume and power buttonson 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.

The mechanism is similar to how the iPhone 7, 8, and even the iPhone SE 2’s home button works. The MacBook’s trackpad also follows the same functionality. For this, the iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to getthree Taptic Engines located on the internal left and right to give the feeling of feedback when one gets while pressing a button.

This will increase the number of Taptic Engines in iPhones from one to three, helping manufacturers like Luxshare ICT (1st supplier) and AAC Technologies.

Kuo also anticipates that thisnew physical button-less design will be adopted by Android phone makerstoo 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.
