They say that when the river sounds, water carries. And the river of the iPhone 15 is about to overflow. Because the rumors do not stop arriving: the new iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max change their design and they will do so regardless of external (visible) buttons, betting on a titanium chassis that replaces the usual stainless steel and resorting to the use of haptic motors. But let’s go step by step.
It is the great novelty of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max —it is better to talk about the iPhone 15 Ultra another time. According to the latest information about its manufacture, it seems that the iPhone 15 Pro will use three taptic (haptic feedback) enginesone for the power button, another for the volume controls, and an unconfirmed third.
There will be, therefore, an engine inside the left side, another on the right and another on the bottom. The buttons would retain the usual circular aestheticadapting to the fingertip but distinguishing a simple touch or friction from a voluntary pressure gesture.
To some extent, it seems that the touch will be similar to the central button of the iPhone 7. A return to the origins that also resembles the touch of the MacBook trackpads. However, it is not a simple rumor: both the analyst Jeff Pu and Ming-Chi Kuo corroborate this information collected by MacRumors.
Furthermore, these “solid buttons with haptic feedback” They have been manufactured by Cirrus Logic, the Texan electronics company that has already collaborated on occasion with Appleaccording to the original Barclays source.
Apparently, this transition to solid-state buttons was going to take place on the Apple Watch, but apparently Apple changed its strategy and now it is the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max that will benefit from this improvement.
