JAKARTA - Apple is expected to bring changes to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max next year, where volume buttons and power buttons will not be included physically but with solid-state buttons.

The solid-state button was first released for the iPhone 7, where users can't physically press it but will get a haptic feedback or shake in response to touch.

The iPhone 8 as well as the second and third generation models of the iPhone SE are also equipped with solid-state buttons powered by the Taptic Engine.

This allegation stems from the most reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo report. In his tweet, he said Apple would add Taptic Engine on the left and right of two high-end iPhone 15 models to provide feedback.

According to Kuo, Apple aims to make users feel like they are pressing the physical button. The buttons on both sides will bring the number of Tapic Engine in the iPhone 15 from one to three.

Kuo did not mention whether Apple would embed Tapic Engine on the iPhone 15 or the iPhone 15 Plus, so these two models may have the same power and volume buttons.

Launching The Verge, Monday, October 31, Tapic Engine is also used by Apple to activate the suppression of the haptic keyboard on iOS 16, as well as on the trackpad Force Touch on MacBook.

In addition to embedding the Tapic Engine, Apple is also rumored to be removing the iPhone Pro Max brand to Ultra, bringing Dynamic Island to all of its iPhone models not only the Pro version, and the iPhone 15 will also be the company's first phone to use USB-C as a charger connector.
