New iPhone 15 Exclusive Confirms Massive Apple Design Decision
Summary
In November, the company revealed an expanded partnership that would bring a new High-Performance Mixed-Signal (HPMS) chip to a key strategic partner. It makes further hints when highlighting the “limited visibility into our customer’s future plans for this product,” given Apple’s famous secrecy around the iPhone. Cirrus has likely been so transparent with its statement due to the volume of leaks in recent weeks claiming the iPhone 15 Pro’s solid-state buttons had been scrapped. On the flip side, leaked CADs showed the solid-state buttons to be almost flush with the phone, making them harder to operate through muscle memory, and their need for a dedicated chip to function felt like overengineering to fix a problem no one had. I suspect the usual pattern will continue: a lot of online grumbling about incremental improvements followed by massive sales driven by the switch to USB-C.
