The release of the much-anticipated iPhone 15 Pro is still months away, but rumors and speculations about its design have already made their way into the tech world. One of the most debated topics is the volume buttons of the upcoming device. With each iteration of the iPhone, the design of its buttons has evolved, making them more intuitive and user-friendly. So, what can we expect from the iPhone 15 Pro’s volume buttons? In this article, we will explore the various possibilities and concepts that may become a reality in the next iPhone.
The design of the volume buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro remains uncertain due to recent rumors of changes to the device’s feature set. Although earlier rumors suggested that the iPhone 15 Pro models would adopt a new volume button and mute switch design, the emergence of new rumors regarding Apple’s abandonment of solid-state button technology has left the design in chaos. However, there is still a chance that the solid-state button design has not been canceled, and Unknownz21 has provided images depicting what the buttons will look like if there are no radical design changes. The renders depict a single, elongated volume button with a split in the middle to designate the volume up and volume down sections of the button, a notable departure from previous designs. While Ming-Chi Kuo believes solid-state buttons have been abandoned, Apple could still use the single button design with traditional physical buttons instead. Additionally, there were rumors that Apple planned to replace the mute switch with a mute button, which could serve as a multi-use Action button. The module designed for the volume button, mute button, and power button is codenamed “Bongo,” and the device chassis and buttons will be made from titanium. Other noteworthy features of the iPhone 15 Pro include TSMC’s 3-nanometer A17 chip, a USB-C port, a periscope camera lens, and faster 5G and Wi-Fi 6E. However, many new additions will be limited to the higher-end iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max and will not be available with the standard iPhone 15 models.
As the launch of the iPhone 15 Pro approaches, speculation and rumors continue to swirl about what new features and design elements we can expect from Apple’s latest and greatest smartphone. Among the many details being debated are the volume buttons, which could add a new level of elegance and functionality to the device.
Whether they feature a circular design or a sleek, elongated shape, there’s no doubt that the iPhone 15 Pro’s volume buttons have the potential to be yet another standout feature for Apple’s legions of die-hard fans. So while we wait to see what the final product will look like, let’s keep our fingers crossed that the rumors prove true and we get to experience these cutting-edge buttons for ourselves.
