The upcoming iPhone 15 Pro is likely to feature solid state buttons, according to a new report from TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
It's believed that Cirrus Logic will benefit most from the change.
Cirrus Logic is the primary winner for canceling physical buttons and the change to adopt solid-state buttons on the 2H23 high-end iPhone 15 models. My latest survey indicates that high-end iPhone 15 models will feature solid-state buttons and will equip with additional Taptic Engines to simulate the feel of physical buttons' force feedback.
Kuo says that if users like the solid-state buttons, then Apple will likely bring them to other devices as well.
As the exclusive supplier of Taptic Engine's controller IC for solid-state buttons, Cirrus Logic stands to benefit markedly from this new design. If users respond well to this new design, I think it may be adopted in other high-end models of product lines in the future.
