Although there is a certain continuity interruption (as we are used to seeing at Apple), the introduction of the iPhone 15, a model that will form an important foundation for the establishment of new technologies, is almost in the past. The most notorious and groundbreaking is giving up the physical keypad to bet on solid-state capacitive buttons.
According to leaks, this Star features on Pro models (or Ultra who knows) casts doubt on what will happen if the cell phone’s battery runs out. The latest leaks respond strongly: there will be a chip responsible for it.
On current iPhones four buttons. The biggest of these, currently, is the toggle switch. The other two separate buttons are volume plus and volume minus, the fourth button is a switch for toggling between volume and mute modes.
According to the latest data, Apple will replace these buttons on Pro models of this generation, swapping them for a capacitive system. The latest information actually points to the possible combination of vol+ and vol- buttons in a single capacitive piece located below the volume switch.
Since there are no physical buttons, technically they are virtual and capacitive, the question of what will happen in the scenario where the phone is turned off came to the fore. Sources point to a low-consumption microprocessor that will allow it to run even when the phone is turned off.
This will replace the existing chip that the iPhone 14 Pro already has and will be a chip where we can find the device via Apple’s ‘Search’ network even if the device is not turned on. This chip will “instantly detect capacitive button presses and even detect its own version of 3D Touch with the new volume up/down button when the phone is on or off.”
According to the information received, there is no more in-depth data on the operation of the buttons, as this function is still under development. But all the rumors point in that direction. And when the sound of the river comes…
