Recent reports revealed that the American company Apple will actually make the largest change of its kind on iPhone phones, as it will launch iPhone 15 Pro phones without buttons, and two additional Taptic engines will be used to give haptic feedback when pressing buttons, without the buttons actually moving.
Back in October last year, the famous Apple analyst and rumor-monger Ming-Chi Kuo stated that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max would ship without any clickable and traditional physical buttons.
Today, Koo is back at it again, essentially repeating the same information. According to a recent survey of Apple’s supply chain partners, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are still scheduled to hit the market in the second half of this year without clickable buttons.
Instead, both phones will use solid-state buttons, which will be powered by additional Taptic Engines in order to simulate the feel of physical buttons when you touch them. Cirrus Logic is the company that will benefit most from Apple’s move, as it is the exclusive supplier of the Taptic Engine control engine for solid-state buttons. Kuo speculates that if users respond well to fake Apple buttons, other companies may quickly get ‘inspired’ and add buttons of their own.
It is also likely that Apple will change the back of the iPhone 15 phones and replace them with metal or plastic, but recent reports indicate that this is just rumors, and the upcoming Pro models will be made of titanium, which is much stronger and lighter than stainless steel. rust.
The changes that the iPhone 15 Pro will get will help raise the prices of the phones very significantly, as the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to come at a starting price of $1099, while the iPhone 15 Ultra will start at $1199, and the price will vary completely within the Egyptian market and a number of countries’ markets. other according to a number of considerations.
