Apple again rumored to forego actual buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max

11 January 2023
Instead the high-end duo will get solid state buttons with additional Taptic Engines simulating the lost physicality.

Still has a charging port. No buy.

    I prefer buttons I can feel in the dark, most of my phone use are on the bed at night.

          Yes conventional power button is another option, cutout for button/s.. all mentioned below. Nothing that can't be solved, whether it's a gimmick or it turns out to be good to use. Nothing earthshaking tho

            Personally I see no downside to it really, however, I wonder how that would work for cases/covers?

Maybe the power button will be physical but volume buttons will not be? Aasrhghhahahs

                          Button stopped working? Surely that won't be tied to the motherboard! Apple "haptic" volume button DRM 🤣🤣🤣

                            Ok here we go.
                            1. Removed physical home button. (In order to make the repair complex)
                            2. Removed headphone jack. (In order to sell airpods)
                            3. Removed sim card slot. ( To stick to iphone)
                            4. Removed physical volume and power buttons. ( for saying your phone is dead and you need to replace your phone at apple repair centers).

                            Whats next any suggestions for apple guys????

                              If nobody is buying flashy new iPhones, Apple gotta generate income somehow.
                              That is why these shady tactics.
