Apple is exploring solid-state buttons with haptic feedback for future iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch models.
The idea of solid-state haptic buttons was initially rumored for iPhone 15 Pro in 2023 as part of 'Project Bongo'.
Although the project was reportedly canceled and shelved, recent rumors suggest Apple is still actively pursuing haptic buttons.
Apple is addressing the challenge of 'mistouches' with the new button design, aiming to replicate the experience of traditional mechanical buttons closely.
