Exclusive: iPhone 15 Pro to have new unified volume buttons with new ‘pressing type’ mute button

This would replace the current physical buttons with a single, elongated button. Additionally, the report claims that the mute button may also be replaced with a new pressing type button.
If true, this would be a major change to the design of the iPhone. The current physical buttons have been a staple of the iPhone design since the very first model. unified design would be a major change to the iPhone.
The current physical buttons have been a staple of the iPhone design since the very first model. There are two main benefits of solid state buttons. First, they are less likely to break or become damaged. Second, they can be made to be waterproof.
There are also some potential downsides to this change. One is that it could make it more difficult to tell if the phone is on mute or not. Additionally, it is unclear how this would work with the existing haptic feedback system that is used for the home button and the volume buttons.
Overall, this is an interesting rumor. If true, it would be a major change to the iPhone. It is not clear if Apple is ready to make such a change, but it is certainly something that is worth keeping an eye on.
