Apple is allegedly considering implementing solid-state buttons with haptic feedback on future iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch models.
The project, referred to as 'Project Bongo,' has been restarted within Apple, aiming to introduce solid-state buttons to the product line, including iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches.
The decision to use solid-state buttons is driven by reliability concerns rather than cost, as a correct response is not guaranteed with physical buttons.
Solid-state buttons have no moving parts, making them more reliable and less prone to failure, with Apple using force sensors to differentiate between light and firm presses, simulating clicks via haptic vibrations.
