It’s hard to know how the buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro will be. Rumors have been going around for some time that Apple has bet on a new system of haptic buttons for the volume keys, similar to what we saw for example on the home button of the iPhone 8. The rumors of the corridors are discordant and evolve quickly, but the supplier of Apple Cirrus has just showered the hopes of the fans in a letter intended for its shareholders.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the future iPhone 15 Pro should have included additional Taptic Engines used for the proper functioning of these buttons. Apple’s partner Cirrus Logic was to supply the components related to this new hardware. However, it indicates today that one of its components used for the Taptic Engine of these possible new buttons should not be released immediately.
« A new product that we previously mentioned was due to be introduced this fall should no longer be released as planned “says the letter. ” As we only have limited visibility into our client’s future plans for this product at this time, we are removing the revenue associated with this component from our internal model. “. Apple is Cirrus Logic’s biggest customer: it represented 79% of its turnover for the year 2022. The news confirms statements made by Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu last month. The two analysts announced that Apple had postponed this novelty because of unresolved technical problems.
If these new buttons were therefore not to arrive before the iPhone 16 Pro, rumors would have it that Apple has swapped the Ring / Silent switch for a new “action button” for the 2023 vintage. Similar to that of Apple Watch Ultra, it might be configured and would allow for example to quickly open the camera or activate a shortcut.
