Recent rumors indicate that Apple is reviving its haptic button project, initially planned for previous models but shelved. These buttons, designed to replace mechanical counterparts, promise to eliminate wear and offer customizable touches, allowing light and firm presses to serve different functions. While these developments suggest a comprehensive embrace of haptic technology across various devices, challenges such as mistouch detection remain unsolved. As the timeline of release is uncertain, potential implementation may still be some years away, possibly aligning with the iPhone 18 launch.
Apple has restarted development on haptic buttons for future iPhones, expanding to iPads and Apple Watches, suggesting a significant shift in their design approach.
The solid-state buttons, which don't move, promise to eliminate mechanical wear and allow for varying functionalities with different types of presses.
