According to well-versed Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra might not feature any hardware buttons.
This absolutely isn't the first time Apple has done such a move. The-series in 2016, for example, dropped the physical home button for a static one that provided similar feedback, emulating the feel of pressing a real button. Since 2015, all MacBooks have also dropped clickable touchpads for static ones providing haptic feedback as well.
However, nothing is said about the mute switch, a signature hardware feature of the iPhone, which can hardly be emulated by a similar technology. Our guess is that this one will stick around, and won't be dropped out of the iPhone feature list anytime soon. Ming-Chi Kuo also seemingly knows which some of the main taptic engine suppliers might be: Luxshare ICT and AAC technologies. Both Chinese companies reportedly expect 80%-100% growth of taptic engine shipments year-over-year in 2023. Ming-Chi Kuo is one of the more respected industry insiders with a great track record when it comes to inside Apple info, so we have no reasons to doubt his claims. Vibrator suppliers Luxshare ICT & AAC are undoubtedly the main buttonless design winners.
