As previously reported, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature a unified volume button and mute button, according to leaked CAD images shared in a video on the Chinese version of TikTok and posted on Twitter by ShrimpApplePro.
Instead of separate volume buttons, the iPhone 15 Pro models are said to have a single elongated volume button. The mute button, which has been around since the original iPhone in 2007, will also be updated. Both the volume button and the mute button are rumored to be a solid-state design.
iPhone 15 series: Apple expands the Dynamic Island
Instead of physically moving, the buttons would provide haptic feedback from two additional Taptic Engines inside the iPhone to simulate the feeling of movement, similar to the Home button on the latest iPhone SE or the Force Touch trackpad on modern MacBooks.
The standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models are expected to continue to have two physical volume buttons and a mute switch, as shown in additional CAD images in the video show. Apple is expected to announce the entire iPhone 15 series in September as usual. In this context, tech reporter Sonny Dickson has another look at the alleged displays of the iPhone 15 series thrown.
Like the original leak, the images show that the Pro models will have thinner bezels around the display and that the Dynamic Island will be extended to the standard iPhone 15 models. (Photo by Nata Aleks NO WAR / Bigstockphoto)
