According to the latest Power On newsletter by Mark Gurman, the haptic buttons for the iPhone have been delayed by one year.
As we’ve already noted, the premium iPhone 15 models (the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Ultra) will not have the solid-state haptic buttons replacing the mechanical, physical buttons that iPhone users are extremely familiar with. After being rumored for several months, last month TF International’s Ming-Chi Kuo and Haitong Tech’s Jeff Pu, two well-known Apple analysts, both said that the solid-state buttons were not «a thing» for this year’s pricier iPhone units.
But what about future years? That question was addressed by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his latest newsletter. According to Gurman, the plan at the beginning of the year was to include the solid-stare buttons.
