Every week, new rumours surrounding the highly-anticipated Apple iPhone 15 Pro lineup are surfacing, with different aspects of the phone being the subject of such leaks. For instance, one of the more recent leaks showcased thin bezels around the smartphone’s display. As per the latest leaks, CAD renders of the iPhone 15 Pro suggest that Apple’s upcoming flagship smartphones may feature innovative ‘Taptic buttons’ and solid-state mute switches. These renders, which were not present in earlier leaks, were shared on Douyin by user chenwen1987.
Instead of the traditional dedicated volume up and down buttons, Apple is said to be opting for a single button for volume control. The Taptic button is rumoured to be pressure-sensitive, allowing for faster volume adjustment with harder presses. It is currently unknown whether this feature will be accompanied by haptic feedback similar to Apple’s Force Touch trackpads.
The mute switch will remain in its usual position but will now also function as a solid-state button. It appears that the regular iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will retain Apple’s physical mute switch, while the Taptic volume and lock buttons will be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, the specifics of how these pressure-sensitive buttons will be incorporated into the design remain unclear. More details will be available as we keep inching towards the launch date, which is expected to be in September if Apple sticks to following its yearly schedule.
