The much-awaited solid-state volume buttons on Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro have reportedly been canceled. Reports suggest that the rumors of this cancellation have been confirmed by the Apple supplier, Cirrus Logic. While the exact reason for the cancellation of the project is unknown, unresolved technical issues have been cited as the reason by a well-known Apple-related leaks and rumors source.

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro is expected to come with a customizable Action button, which will replace the ring/mute switch, offering a new and unique user experience. While it is not clear whether Apple has given up on the idea of solid-state volume buttons altogether, some analysts believe that this technology may be introduced in the iPhone 16 Pro next year.

Cirrus Logic’s announcement has an impact on Apple since it is the company’s largest customer, accounting for 78% of its revenue in the 2022 fiscal year. The cancellation of the solid-state buttons project may impact Cirrus Logic’s revenue for the next fiscal year.

The cancellation of solid-state buttons projects a setback for Apple

The solid-state buttons, which were expected to provide haptic feedback and replace the traditional clickable volume buttons, were one of the most highly anticipated features of the iPhone 15 Pro. However, the cancellation of the project is a setback for Apple.

The introduction of the customizable Action button, however, may still provide a unique user experience for Apple’s customers. The button will be fully customizable, similar to the one on the Apple Watch Ultra.

In conclusion, while the cancellation of the solid-state buttons project is disappointing, it is not the end of the world for Apple. With a history of pushing boundaries in the tech world, Apple may yet find a way to overcome the technical challenges of the solid-state buttons in time for the release of the iPhone 16 Pro. For now, customers can look forward to the customizable Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro, which could offer a unique and exciting experience.
