Long rumored for the iPhone 15 Pro, then the iPhone 16 Pro, these are still vaporware at the moment.

What was wr... moreI looked at GSMArena's review of that phone and holy moly, the haptic buttons really do disappoint, like WAY more than even I would've expected. I really dislike the idea of haptic buttons already, but that review tells me they're even worse than I could've imagined.

    Pro and Con, no button hard need to replace once the button wears off or damage. It will definitely feel weird to touch 😵‍💫

    Somehow, I don't think this is bad or good. But, I'll just let it be. Depends on oneself preference 🤷🏻‍♂️

      After innovating by removing any useful thing, we have been using for decades, now they slowly innovate by bringing back simple stuff like cable, button and so on.
      It feels nice being not a sheep..

      What was wrong with the HTC U12+? Pressure sensitive buttons, and the company is no longer the same since then.

      Makes sense. No need rushing.
