Apple will announce the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models later this year, While the company is upgrading the standard models with a Dynamic Island which will help Apple boost sales. It was previously reported that the iPhone 15 Pro will come with solid-state buttons instead of physical keys. It was later covered that Apple has reserved the plans for the iPhone 16 Pro models. If you are not familiar, check out the list of potential features that could arrive with the iPhone 15 Pro if Apple goes ahead with the solid-state buttons.

The iPhone 15 Pro models are rumored to feature major changes in terms of design like the Action Button, USB-C, and slimmer bezels. The company will also say goodbye to the Mute Switch in favor of an Action Button. The Action Button could potentially be a shortcut button and you will have the option to map a certain function to it. The functionality of the Action Button could be very similar to the Apple Watch Ultra and how users can customize it according to their needs. If Apple goes ahead with its plans to include solid-state buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro, check out the list of potential features that could be part of the mix.
Starting with the solid-state Action Button, the iPhone 15 Pro could bring some of the Apple Watch Ultra features to the table. Check out the list of features below.
- Initiate Siri
- Stopwatch
- Dropping a compass waypoint
- Backtrack
- Turn the Flashlight on/off
- Shutter button for the camera
- Launch favorite app
- Launch specific shortcut
- Mute Switch
- Take Screenshot
- Accessibility features
- Switch Focus Modes
- Activate Siren
These are the potential features that could arrive with the iPhone 15 Pro assuming Apple goes ahead with the solid-state buttons. Other than the Action Button, the Volume and Power buttons will adopt the solid-state solution as well. The buttons would feature the same functions that we use now and more. It was previously reported that the capacitive buttons will be capable of sensing pressure similar to the 3D Touch functionality.
The solid-state Volume buttons could sense the pressure or force and will increase or decrease volume faster depending on the applied pressure (via MacRumors Forums). For instance, if you press the volume down button with force, the device volume will go down faster. Other than this, since the solid-state buttons are capacitive, users can simply control volume by sliding or swiping their fingers up or down. Additionally, the solid-state buttons would work the same way as the buttons on iPhone 14 Pro models for switching off or rebooting your iPhone.
Apple could also assign more features to the solid-state buttons as it sees fit. Additionally, iOS 17 would have a major role to play as well since it would bring new features to the table. However, be sure to take the news with a grain of salt since the final word rests with Apple. Apple is hosting its WWDC 2023 event on June 5 where it will see fit to announce iOS 17 to the public.
We will potentially get access to a lot of information regarding the upcoming iPhones so be sure to stick around, Do you think the iPhone 15 Pro models will gain support for solid-state buttons? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
