Apple’s new “Pro” models are leaving the old button structure behind. iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will adopt a solid-state form for the power and volume buttons, according to leaks. In other words, these buttons will no longer be like a normal physical button on the new devices but will work directly by detecting touch/pressure.
iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max may have solid-state volume buttons
Apple had previously made a similar change in Touch ID buttons. In this way, it will establish a longer-lasting/robust/water-resistant structure. In the new infrastructure that will replace the standard physical keys, special vibration motors placed on the sides will be used. Thanks to these motors, people will be able to understand that they pressed the key without any physical movement. The user will receive instant feedback with vibration. iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, will continue the traditional structure.
This issue is on the agenda again because the image below was leaked today. Apple seems to make the volume up and down button as a single unit on the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, as you can see in the photo. The mute/unmute button is also designed to be interacted with by pressing it. It is a matter of great curiosity how this structure will bring an experience in real use because some people seem to be very worried about the process.
The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have thinner bezels than the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, as we heard last week. According to a claim made last week, the top model of the family, the “15 Pro Max”, will have 1.55 mm bezels. The phone is said to break the smartphone market record in this regard. 15 Pro Max will have the same thickness frames in every corner as an Apple classic. According to the sources, Apple does not narrow the screen frames of iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models compared to iPhone 14 and 14 Plus.
