Apple is reportedly preparing to introduce a new customizable sensitivity feature for solid-state buttons on the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. According to a source on the MacRumors forum, a sensitivity switch will be added to the settings, allowing users to adjust the sensitivity of the buttons to their liking. The feature is expected to relieve some iPhone users’ concerns about how the new capacitive buttons will work when the phone is in a case or glove.

The new capacitive buttons, which will be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro series, are expected to feature a new ultra-low power chip that will ensure that the buttons remain functional even when the device is turned off or the battery is dead. The chip recognizes the user’s hold gestures and provides feedback to the Taptic Engine.

In addition to the new sensitivity feature, the iPhone 15 Pro will also feature a new programmable Action button that replaces the mute switch. This button allows users to customize various features such as toggle direction lock, flashlight and low power mode.

The new low-power chip in the iPhone 15 Pro series will power the NFC, Bluetooth LE and UW chips even when the phone is turned off or the battery is low. With this feature, users can continue to use their devices for contactless payments or other tasks that require these technologies, even if their phones are not turned on.

The iPhone 15 Pro is also expected to feature a combined volume button instead of the separate volume buttons found on the iPhone 14 series. The new button will allow users to adjust the volume by pressing different parts of the button.

Apple’s iPhone 15 series is expected to be announced in September, and the addition of customizable sensitivity to solid-state buttons will likely make this one of the tech giant’s most anticipated releases. Thanks to the new features, iPhone 15 Pro users can expect a more customizable and faster experience while using their device.
