As noted by MacRumors, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max won’t feature the once-anticipated solid-state buttons due to “unresolved technical issues before mass production.”
“My latest survey indicates that due to unresolved technical issues before mass production, both high-end iPhone 15 Pro models (Pro & Pro Max) will abandon the closely-watched solid-state button design and revert to the traditional physical button design,” he says.
The iPhone 15 line-up will probably debut in September or October. Here’s a round-up of some of the other rumors about them:
° The volume controls on the side of the iPhone 15 Pro may be a single unified rocker button.
° Pro models may pack 8GB of RAM.
° Only the highest-end model will sport a periscope lens. (That would be the iPhone 15 Pro Max.)
° The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro’s USB-C port and accompanying charging cables will feature a Lightning-like authenticator chip, potentially limiting their functionality with accessories that aren’t Apple-approved.
° The iPhone 15 models will sport support for faster charging speeds when used with MFi-certifiated USB-chargers.
° The iPhone 15 Pro will be offered in a “stunning new dark red color option.”
° iPhone 15 Pro models will have improved LiDAR scanners that offer better battery life and improved performance.
° The iPhone 15 Pro Max will be thicker than its precedessor despite having a slightly reduced height and width, but it could offer a less protrusive camera rear array.
° The standard iPhone 15 models may lack support for ProMotion and an always-on display.
° The iPhone 15 Pro models will see a price increase due to several rumored hardware upgrades.
° The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will use a new ultra-low energy microprocessor.
