After a lull of two months, rumors about hypothetical capacitive buttons on iPhones, buttons that use a haptic engine to simulate clicking, are picking up again. Remember: we thought for a while that the iPhone 15 Pro would have all new volume buttons, and then the rumor died down. If it’s not for the iPhone 15 Pro, it’s for the next generation then? This was indicated until now by observers close to Apple’s subcontractors, but one of them has just changed his judgment.

According to analyst Jeff Pu, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will also be “deprived” of these new buttons. It would therefore be necessary to compose an additional year with stupid mechanical buttons. As we have been using this type of button since the first iPhone, we should be able to live with it for another year…
The all-talking capacitive volume buttons would work like the Touch ID button on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8: they wouldn’t actually sink in, but you would still feel the click thanks to haptic feedback . Maybe something to improve the seal or offer several click intensities. Answer in 2025 with the iPhone 17 Pro?
