Apple is all over the place as the tech giant is opening two retail stores in India after a long wait. The Cupertino-based tech company is also gearing up to launch its upcoming flagship, the iPhone 15 series, which has been in news despite not officially arriving in the market yet.

Ahead of its release this year, we have been hearing a lot about the upcoming smartphone, the iPhone 15 Pro, which is expected to feature new solid-state volume buttons which will reportedly come with haptic feedback feature.

The haptic feedback on the side buttons will function similarly to Apple’s Home Button that was introduced with the iPhone 7.

However, a new report in 9to5Mac, which also shared leaked renders of the upcoming phone, says that Apple might not be going ahead with the reports after all and the iPhone 15 may not feature the solid-state buttons due to issues with manufacturing.

As per Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will not feature the solid-state buttons and instead will come packed with mechanical buttons.

“My latest survey indicates that due to unresolved technical issues before mass production, both high-end iPhone 15 Pro models (Pro & Pro Max) will abandon the closely-watched solid-state button design and revert to the traditional physical button design,” Kuo wrote in a new Medium post on Wednesday. Moreover, he also said that investors expected that the new solid-state button design would increase suppliers’ revenues and profits. But Kuo pointed out that the much-awaited iPhone 15 Pro is still in the EVT development stage, so there is still time to modify the design of the Apple smartphone. In addition, removing the solid-state buttons and restoring physical buttons will simplify the development and testing process. Based on these considerations, removing solid-state buttons should have a minor impact on the iPhone 15 Pro phone’s mass production schedule and shipments.
