Buttons on the side of the iPhone
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has again claimed that the iPhone 15 Pro will switch to solid-state buttons, but this time he says supply chain sources have identified the component manufacturer.
In October 2022, Kuo said the “volume and power buttons” on the Pro edition of the iPhone 15 series would no longer be physical buttons. He compared them to the home button on his iPhone SE 2. This gives haptic feedback as if you were pressing it instead of physically pressing it.
Now he mostly repeats the same details, which he says come from his latest research.For the first time, Cirrus Logic will be the “major winner” of Apple’s move, Kuo’s sources said. says.
Kuo has previously said he expects Android makers to follow suit. This time, my prediction is more general: “If the user reaction is good, I think it may be adopted in other high-end model product lines in the future.”
The volume and sleep/wake buttons are located on the edge of the iPhone chassis, which has been the subject of rumors of other redesigns. The iPhone 15 series is predicted to have a rounded edge design, and could be made from titanium instead of the current heavy stainless steel.
