Is This the End of Physical Buttons?
There are a lot of rumors regarding the buttons on the iPhone 16, or rather, the lack thereof.
Rumors point out that Apple will finally get rid of the physical buttons with the iPhone 16 lineup. Instead, reports say the company will use solid-state buttons that will work like regular buttons.
However, instead of pressing them, you would only feel a small haptic response letting you know the button has been pressed. It would work similarly to the Home button on the iPhone SE.
That probably sounds familiar to you, and it’s because Apple tried to add these buttons to the iPhone 15 this year. Apple reportedly had to scrap that idea due to technical issues. However, it seems the company might try again in 2024.
