According to information disclosed by the analyst Ming Chi Kuo, which is known to reveal specific rumors, the Pro and Pro Max versions may debut touch-sensitive “buttons” with pressure-activated technology.
If everything goes as planned, the new smartphones will be able to be launched by the second half of 2023. Everything suggests that this innovation would be included in an iPhone 15 Ultra (as it will be called). So, versions below that, like the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, would have the traditional buttons, as we already know.
According to the 9to5Mac website, the alleged change must be justified by Apple's marketing team as a way to increase the component's durability. Corroborating with what happened in the exchange of the traditional Home button for the tactile button, as in the old iPhone 7, in 2016.
According to Kuo, the new side buttons should also have a vibration motor with Apple Taptic Engine technology to convey a clicking sensation in response to the user's movements. This will bring the total number of components on the iPhone to three.
Also, the work of the iPhone 15 Pro Max has changed: a new periscope lens. The new periscope lens will reportedly be exclusive to the larger screen version of the iPhone 15 Pro, which may be called the iPhone 15 Ultra next year.
With this, it is possible to have a much longer lens length than a telephoto lens, ensuring a better optical zoom. The telephoto lens on iPhone 13 Pro models only offers 3x optical zoom and 15x digital zoom.
