A new Apple iPhone 15 reveals a surprise design.
- According to iPhone 15 leaks, Apple is saving its most exciting and contentious updates for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Now, a new leak has revealed how the most contentious transformation will work, and it is unlike anything that has appeared on a smartphone before.

The leak, which was posted on the MacRumors forum from the same source who revealed the iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island last year, claims that the solid-state volume keys coming to iPhone 15 Pro models will function at all times — even when the battery is dead.

New Microprocessor in iPhone 15 Pro to Detect Touch Sensitive Button Presses
According to the insider, this functionality is due to an entirely new microprocessor coming to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, which will substitute Apple’s ‘Super Low Energy Mode’ found on existing models. When the battery is dead, Super Low Energy Mode can currently use Apple Pay and activate Bluetooth for the Discover My Network feature.
“The new microprocessor that will ship in the 15 Pro models will not only manage those tasks, but will also be able to detect touch sensitive button presses, holds, and even detect their version of 3D Touch with the new volume up/down button, action (currently ringer switch) button, and power button, even while the phone is dead or powered down,” explains the insider.
“The new microprocessor will also manage the Find My, Bluetooth/UW, and Apple Pay express card features (previously managed by the SoP with low energy) while the phone is off, significantly saving energy during those downtimes.”
Apple testing Two Capacitive Volume Button Configurations with 3D Touch
nterestingly, the leaker claims that Apple is currently checking two capacitive volume button configurations. The first uses swiping up and down to adjust the volume, while the second uses presses, with the rate of change decided by the pressure applied. This strongly suggests that the buttons will support 3D Touch.

Details about the new solid-state mute button are lacking from the leaker’s information
Moving away from the switch design that iPhones have used since their debut in 2007 has been met with skepticism. However, MacRumors reports that the mute button will likely be configurable, opening the door to an Apple Watch Ultra-style Action button. Something that is sure to excite many iPhone fans.
What else can you get excited about ?
Upgrades to standard iPhone 15 models will be smaller, as has become customary, with an update to the iPhone 14 Pro design and Dynamic Island, A16 chip, and USB-C. (with MFi restrictions).
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will feature the world’s thinnest bezels, a stunning new A17 chip, upgraded LiDAR, and a massive rear camera, according to leaks. On the other hand, buyers can expect iPhone 15 Pro prices to skyrocket — living on the cutting edge isn’t cheap
- 03/12 Update:
- The MacRumors leaker has returned with more information about the capacitors buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, and it’s exciting.
- The leaker, who revealed several accurate iPhone 14 details last year, disclosed that the “capacitive buttons will work very well with gloves and cases” in a new post. This is due to a responsiveness setting that iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max owners will have access to in configurations.
Apple Rumored to Release Flagship Model iPhone Above iPhone 15 Pro Max
For months, the rumored release of a flagship model iPhone that would sit above (rather than replace) the iPhone 15 Pro Max was the talk of the leak world. Given that both iPhone 14 Pro models sold significantly better than their conventional counterparts, it made sense for Apple to consider adding a cutting-edge iPhone to the top of its lineup.
