New CAD models have purportedly leaked that confirm the iPhone 15 Pro will still get an 'Action' button to replace the Mute switch. This comes after numerous leakers corroborated a report that Apple has abandoned its plan for solid state buttons.

9to5Mac says it has received updated CAD models that revert to separate physical buttons but still retain the 'Action' button.

Instead of the solid-state buttons that we were once expecting, Apple looks to be reverting to a traditional button design with separated volume buttons. The significant change this year is a new mute button. This mute button replaces the outgoing mute switch and is rumored to add additional functionality, with many speculating that it could emulate the Action Button found on the Apple Watch Ultra.

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are not expected to feature this 'Action' button.

Additionally, the new CAD shows a larger camera bump, but not as gargantuan as previous leaks. The iPhone 15 Pro Max camera bump is slightly larger than the iPhone 15 Pro, presumably for its rumored periscope lens. It also corroborates USB-C, narrow bezels, and a rounder frame.
