In the iPhone 15 Pro series, which Apple is expected to introduce this year, it is expected to replace the physical buttons with capacitive ones. Leaked drawing samples show this new design, while a leak on the MacRumors forum gives more information about how these capacitive buttons will work when the iPhone is on, off, or even when the battery is dead. As it is known, the home screen button of the old iPhone models was also in the same structure and this button did not work when the device was turned off or the battery was dead.
According to the leak, the capacitive buttons will also be triggered when the iPhone is turned off or its battery is dead. Apple is expected to replace the existing Super Low Energy Mode processor in new models with a new chip. While Low Energy Mode can already do small tasks like using Apple Pay when the phone’s battery is dead and using Bluetooth to track the device with Find My Device function, this new chip will do much more.
According to the leak, the new microchip of the iPhone 15 Pro will “instantly detect when the phone is out of battery or when capacitive buttons are pressed or held while the phone is turned off, and it even has its own version of 3D Touch with new volume button, action (ringtone switch) button and power button. can detect.”
So, how will the processor work for the capacitive buttons of the iPhone 15 Pro?
- Power on: capacitive volume, power and action buttons;
- Power off: capacitive volume, power and action buttons. NFC drives LE Bluetooth, LE-UW chip and Taptic Engine feedback;
- When the battery is dead: capacitive volume, power and action buttons. Apple Pay Express card. NFC drives the LE Bluetooth and LE-UW chips.
