Say Goodbye to Physical Buttons
By far, the biggest design change will be the lack of physical buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro lineup.
One of the most popular Apple leakers, Ming-Chi Kuo, said on Twitter that Apple would get rid of the physical buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max and replace them with what’s called solid state buttons.
Solid state buttons aren’t new to the iPhone. The iPhone 7, iPhone 8, and iPhone SE feature a solid state Home button.
Kuo says Apple will add more Taptic Engines to the left and right sides of the iPhone 15 Pro, which will help provide more accurate haptic feedback when you press these new buttons.
For us, it’ll still feel like pressing a button, even though there isn’t one anymore.
