Gurman retorted that Apple had developed internal iPhone 15 Pro prototypes without movable buttons and haptic feedback in place of the traditional mechanical buttons. To put it another way, the rumor that the iPhone 15 Pros would have solid-state buttons was accurate at the time. However, Apple has since changed its mind.
Gurman claims that because of the expense and complexity, the corporation has been “waffling” on solid-state buttons for months. Keep in mind that reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo was the one who initially asserted that Apple delayed the use of solid-state buttons until the iPhone 16 Pros because of “unresolved technical issues before mass production.”
Along with this modified design, there have also been rumors that the iPhone 16 Pro would have a smaller Dynamic Island since Apple is preparing to launch Face ID behind the display. Unfortunately, it appears that the iPhone 17 Pro, due out in 2025, will be the only device with this cutting-edge capability.
According to Gurman, Apple is “likely” to include non-moving buttons with the iPhone 16 Pros next year, confirming rumors that they were abandoned. Both Gurman and Kuo seem to concur that the new buttons will only Apple available on Pro-branded iPhones; the standard iPhone 16 models should continue to include the silent switch and mechanical volume and power buttons.
Fans won’t receive touch-sensitive buttons this year, that much is quite certain. The world could change a lot before the iPhone 16 Pro is released, which is still approximately 18 months away. In the interim, the iPhone 15 will soon be released, and everyone already has a good idea of what to anticipate from Apple’s upcoming flagship devices.
