This was the big revolution announced for the iPhone 15: smartphone would do without a physical buttonto. The first rumors surfaced at the beginning of March and predicted that a capacitive button would be added that would respond to the pressure exerted by the user. Following that, other leaks have revealed more details of this technology, leaving little doubt about Apple’s plans in the matter.
However, the project would eventually collapse. In any case, that’s what Ming-Chi Kuo, a renowned analyst specializing in Apple products, says. According to him, the apple brand would face production problems just before it went into mass production. Secondly, it will therefore have to postpone the project and Protect physical buttons on iPhone 15.

iPhone 15 would finally have the same buttons as its predecessors
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, these issues, the nature of which he did not specify, would arise during the ETV (Engineering Verification Testing) phase, which precedes the testing phase of the product as a whole before it goes into mass production. In other words, it’s not over yet for capacitive buttons. Again, you better solve it nowthese technical concerns have little chance of being resolved before the deadline.
In fact, it seems much more likely that we will see the latter make its way down.iPhone 16gives Apple time to perfect its technology until next year. As a reminder, leaks were announcing a button with adjustable sensitivity that would work even when the smartphone is turned off or its battery is dead. If we have to wait another year, we bet other innovations will find their way by then.
