Rendering of the iPhone 15 on the Internet
Ming-Chi Kuo posted on the Internet: “My latest investigation shows that the volume keys and power keys of two new high-end iPhone 15 models may use solid-state key design (similar to the iPhone 7/8/SE2&3 Home key design) instead of physical /Mechanical button design. There will be Taptic Engines inside the phone to provide force feedback on the left and right sides, making the user feel like they are pressing a physical button. As a result of this design change, the number of Taptic Engines used in each iPhone will go from the current 1 to 3. This design may also appear on Android flagships in the future. Therefore, the existing Taptic Engine suppliers Luxshare Precision (first supplier) and AAC Technologies (second supplier) will be important beneficiaries.

In addition to major changes to the volume and power keys, the new iPhones will also have changes in the interface. As early as May, Ming-Chi Kuo said that the iPhone 15 will use the USD-C port to replace Apple’s “ancestral” Lightning port.

At present, the Lightning port has been completely eliminated on the latest iPad, so this change is likely to appear on next year’s iPhone 15 as well.
