One of the innovations of the iPhone 15 Pro, solid state buttons with haptic feedback technology instead of the physical keys on the sides. However, Apple seems to have abandoned its plans to include the feature in its devices this year.
haptic chip manufacturer for iPhones, Cirrus Logic was one of the candidates to supply the new High Performance Hybrid Signal (HPMS) components.. That’s why a recent company statement to shareholders said that’s not going to happen.
“Among the HPMS opportunities we are discussing, the new product we mentioned in previous letters and which is scheduled for launch in the last quarter of this year is not expected to reach the market as planned,” the statement said.
The note currently highlights: Cirrus Logic has “limited visibility into customer product plans”. Despite the setback that forced it to eliminate component-related revenue, the company says it’s proud of the work done.
Even if we don’t mention Apple, the brand has a history of collaborating with big technology. For more, Reference to a product launch in the last quarter, a common period for iPhone launches, suggests possible cancellation of solid buttons.
“Our customer relationships remain very strong as we continue to collaborate on a variety of technologies and products in the HPMS category,” Cirrus Logic noted.
Programmable action button follows plans
While the robust button design has been shelved, iPhone 15 Pro may still have a programmable action button. While it’s a physical switch, leaks suggest that the feature should replace the existing “Mute” button on the side of the mobile.
For example, users will be able to configure the button to turn on the smartphone and turn on the camera automatically. Thus, the feature acts as a quick shortcut that replaces pressing the Camera app icon on the lock screen.
