Apple will not announce the iPhone 15 series until the end of 2023, which is a long way off. However, leaked information about the next iPhone series has already begun. It has already been confirmed that the next iPhone series will support USB-C, but now it is rumoured that Apple plans to abandon the physical button design. According to details shared by analyst Minqi Kuo, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models could feature a solid state button design.
This will allow the button to respond to user touch without the need to physically press the button, similar to the home button design found on some models such as the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8. "According to my latest research, the volume and power buttons on the two high-end iPhone 15/2H23 models may feature a solid state button design to replace the physical/mechanical button design," Kuo said on Twitter.
The cited source claims that these devices will feature Taptic Engines, "internally placed on the left and right sides, providing force feedback that feels like the user is pressing a physical button". This suggests that Apple will make room for a larger battery inside the device. There is currently no clear explanation for this, but quoted sources suggest that the next iPhone will feature three Taptic Engines, rather than the vibration engines found in current devices.
In addition to offering a solid state key design, the iPhone 15 series should finally feature a USB-C port, Apple confirmed this to The Verge The Pro model is likely to retain the punched hole display design seen on this year's iPhone Most likely. They will be powered by Apple's next-generation A17 Bionic chipset and run iOS 17.
