For a while now, we’ve been hearing how the iPhone 15 Pro series will feature solid-state buttons. We’ve even seen CAD-based renders of the phone with such buttons included. Well, a rumor surfaced yesterday, claiming that Apple hit a roadblock, and that solid-state buttons have been canceled, at least the volume buttons.
The iPhone 15 Pro tipped to include solid-state buttons after all
That info actually came from a well-known Apple tipster, and was corroborated by another source. Well, the saga continues now, with some new info. A well-known tipster that goes by the name ‘Revegnus’, says that solid-state buttons are coming after all.
He went to Twitter to say that the previous info was fake, as Apple is trying to “catch insiders”. Apple apparently placed false information in order to catch whoever is leaking info about their products.
Yesterday’s rumor was allegedly false, placed by Apple
The tipster said that solid-state buttons are “definitely coming to the iPhone 15 Pro”. He also added that Apple “already ordered the parts”. So, if this source is to be believed, we’ll see solid-state buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max/Ultra after all.
As a reminder, both phones are tipped to include solid-state power/lock and volume rocker buttons. Even the mute switcher is going away, and will be replaced by an ‘action button’, which will be a solid-state one.
Those buttons are expected to offer some extra functionality, actually, some more than others. The iPhone 15 Pro series is expected to launch in September, along with the two vanilla models.
All iPhone 15 models will feature a ‘Dynamic Island’
All iPhone 15 units will have a ‘Dynamic Island’ cutout this time around, and will feature a Type-C port at the bottom. The regular models will retain 60Hz displays, though. Apple is also rumored to utilize titanium for the frame of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max/Ultra.
