Buttons have never been a thing for taste viewand this stems from a very distinct legacy of what Steve Jobs thought of them: the less, the better (hence he hardly ever wore a shirt). Therefore, such as searching to eliminate existing on devices iPhone. And it looks like the next generation of these smartphones might come with a big surprise.
For the iPhone 15, what Apple has in mind is to try other than bending their arms with USB type C. eliminate traditional sound management buttons ie next to the terminals. If you’re wondering why the ignition didn’t suffer the same fate, it has certain effects on the basic functioning of smartphones, which are hard to change as they are for others. But to know what’s coming from Cupertino is just to let time.
How can this be achieved on the iPhone 15?
The firm would not have to develop any new technology as it would integrate the technology. tactile has been using it in one way or another on their smartphones for a long time. In this way, instead of integrating the buttons, relevant panels related to the vibration motor will be placed so that an operation can be performed and it is known that it is successful. In other words, it would act in a way similar to what was done on the iPhone 7 models at the time, to eliminate the big physical button on their phones.
The elimination of mechanical elements on the iPhone 15 would be a good step forward, as everything about touch has very positive details. An example is the simplicity of use, and also, despite what many believe, much lower failure rate More in these than traditional buttons. This is because there is less pressure and less wear. Whatever has to do with the coating, the design will benefit, as the overall resistance of the phones will be greater due to fewer holes (and even the inside of the phone will be kept much cleaner).

My latest survey shows that the volume button and power button of the two high-end iPhone 15/2H23 new iPhone models can adopt a solid-state button design (similar to the iPhone 7/8/SE2 and 3 home button design) to replace. physical/mechanical button design.— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) October 28, 2022
So there should be changes in iOS?
Well, the answer is pretty simple: no. for the operating system there is no other possibilityvolume management (and also who knows if the power is on) in this case, as it’s just the way the action is taken. This way, there would be no need to change the code of the iPhone operating system. On the contrary, the design of the terminal case, as well as the production itself, will have to change. But this is something that should not be a problem for Apple if it has decided that the operation of its smartphones will be better with the use of tactile buttons.
