Imago
Squeezing is out, touching is in. Apparently Apple is working on getting rid of the last few buttons on the iPhone.
With the new iPhones expected for this fall, Apple might finally say goodbye to physical buttons. At least that’s what the first computer-generated images of the iPhone 15 Pro housing, the “9to5Mac” shows. leaked became.
Accordingly, Apple will probably rely on capacitive sensors for the on/off switch as well as the volume control and the mute button in the future. These sensors detect a touch and no longer need to be physically pressed down. Apple already used this technology for the home button on the iPhone 7 and 8 before it was completely abolished.
A little more curves
The images also confirm other expected innovations of the iPhone 15 models. For example, the Lightning connector will be replaced by USB-C, as this will become a legal requirement in the European Union from next year.
The other design changes are minimal. The edge is reduced by a few millimeters compared to the previous models, and the case itself is a little more curved. This should make the smartphone feel a little better in the hand.
