According to uber-analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra will graduate from physical to solid-state buttons with Taptic Engine feedback.
Cirrus Logic is the primary winner for canceling physical buttons and the change to adopt solid-state buttons on the 2H23 high-end iPhone 15 models.
My latest survey indicates that high-end iPhone 15 models will feature solid-state buttons and will equip with additional Taptic Engines to simulate the feel of physical buttons’ force feedback.
As the exclusive supplier of Taptic Engine’s controller IC for solid-state buttons, Cirrus Logic stands to benefit markedly from this new design. If users respond well to this new design, I think it may be adopted in other high-end models of product lines in the future.
MacDailyNews Take: Apple’s Taptic Engine is unparalleled and also uncanny – especially as experienced in Mac notebooks’ Magic Trackpad.

How would you force reboot a stuck device without physical buttons?
The buttons will still be there but the click will be simulated. It’s a click-bait title because most people will assume it means what it says, no buttons at all.
