iPhone 15's Solid State Buttons Reportedly Well Designed for Cases, Claims Tipster

The iPhone 15 series, Apple's next generation of iPhones, has been the subject of numerous leaks as of late. We've already reported on the leaked renders of the iPhone 15 Pro and its non-pro sibling. Now, a tipster claims that the iPhone 15's alleged solid-state buttons will function flawlessly with any case attached to the phone.

iPhone 15's Solid State Buttons Are Very Well Designed for Cases

A tipster by the name of ShrimpApplePro tweeted that the new solid-state buttons of the iPhone 15 series are very well designed and therefore will not cause any problems with cases attached to the phone.

If the report is correct, it will be a great relief for those looking to purchase the next-generation iPhones. A case protects the phone from accidental drops or damage, and given the hefty price of the brand-new iPhone 15, you'll want to protect it with a high-quality case.

The solid state button wouldn't cause any problem all when wearing cases lol
It's very welllll designed for it.

The tweet does not specify whether the buttons are compatible with Apple's official cases or third-party cases, but given that the tweet claims that the iPhone's buttons are well-designed for any case, we'd take their word for it.

iPhone 15 to Include Three Taptic Engines

According to a previous report by prominent analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will incorporate solid-state buttons as well as three Taptic Engines in the iPhone 15 series. The Taptic Engines will aid in creating the illusion of a physical click, similar to the force touch trackpads found on MacBooks.

Apple may also be collaborating with third-party case manufacturers, providing them with precise product dimensions and vital information about the operation of its new solid-state buttons, such as their protrusion, length, and feedback.

This will also ensure that the haptic feedback provided by pressing the buttons with the case is comparable to that provided by pressing the buttons without a case.

The iPhone 15 series is shaping up to be a significant upgrade over its predecessor, but take these leaks with a grain of salt because we're still months away from Apple's official announcement.
