Solid-State Buttons Dropped from iPhone 16 Pro, Confirms Rumors
The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are unlikely to feature solid-state volume and mute buttons, according to tech analyst Jeff Pu. Apple reportedly faced technical issues with the buttons for the iPhone 15 Pro models, leading to their removal. Solid-state buttons would have provided haptic feedback without physically moving. The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to have a mechanical Action button instead. The absence of solid-state buttons may impact durability and water resistance. Apple's plans for the iPhone 16 Pro models, set to launch in over a year, are subject to change.
