The iPhone 15 Pro series will include solid-state buttons, and they will be customizable. We knew that solid-state buttons are coming, but the second part of that sentence is kind of new.
This info comes from ‘hitherto’, which MacRumors claims is a reliable source. He shared new information on MacRumors forums. The tipster said that the ‘Pro’ models will feature a new sensitivity toggle in the Settings.
The iPhone 15 Pro series is set to offer customizable solid-state buttons
That toggle will allow users to customize buttons to work properly with cases, gloves, and so on. The usual case makers will probably get further instructions from Apple regarding the whole situation.
These buttons will use a new Force Touch-style mechanism and Taptic Engine feedback. It’s also worth noting that the source who shared this info is the same one that revealed that iPhone 15 Pro models will use a new ultra-low energy chip. That chip will allow solid-state buttons to remain functional when your phone runs out of battery.
So, just to be clear, the iPhone 15 Pro models will not only have solid-state power and volume rocker buttons, but the alert slider is also becoming a thing of the past. It will be replaced by an ‘Action’ button, which will have a similar goal, but it’ll feel different to use.
The ‘Pro’ series will also include a periscope camera, it seems
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max/Ultra are also tipped to include a periscope camera. That camera will seemingly replace the 3x telephoto camera on current-gen models.
All iPhone 15 models will feature a Dynamic Island, and a Type-C port at the bottom. Apple may limit that Type-C port, though, and require special cables to either use it at all, or use it to its full capability.
Apple will announce its brand new iPhones later this year, in September. Four models are expected, the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max/Ultra.
