If you love clicky physical buttons on your devices, we may have bad news for you: according to respected industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, theiPhone 15is binning the buttons. That doesn’t mean it’s going to become a smooth-sided fondleslab, though: according to Kuo,Appleis going for solid-state buttons instead.
While the buttons themselves won’t move, there will be Taptic Engines underneath them so they vibrate when touched. Apple’s haptic tech is really good now – I’ve got haptic feedback turned on in myiPhone 14, and it really does feel like physically pressing buttons – so this should feel very similar.
Big changes in the iPhone 15
Adding these solid-state buttons means some changes to the innards of the iPhone 15 models that’ll be getting them: the iPhone currently has one Taptic Engine in it, but the new buttons will take that up to three. Kuo expectsAndroidfirms to take a similar approach with their own flagships.
Kuo also adds to the chorus predicting USB-C for the iPhone 15; Apple says it’s happening although it won’t confirm the time or the iPhone, but the consensus is that USB-C is happening on at least the Pro and Ultra models next year.
We’re a long way from the next iPhone – unless Apple suddenly makes dramatic changes to its calendar, we’d expect the iPhone 15 launch date to be September 2023 – but these predictions seem sensible and solid; we’d also expect the iPhone 15 Pro and Ultra to get a new generation of Apple A-series processor, a camera upgrade and maybe more RAM too, with the currentiPhone 14 ProandPro Maxfeatures moving down from the Pros to the more affordable models.
