Apple analyst believes that Android smartphones will also follow Apple's design to create new selling points.
Apple iPhone 14 Pro models will likely feature solid-state volume and power buttons. Known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has shared some new details about the Apple iPhone 15 Pro models that are expected to launch next year. In his latest tweets Kuo has revealed that the high-end iPhone 15 models may adopt a solid-state button design which will feel similar to the home button design of Apple iPhone 7, Apple iPhone 8, Apple iPhone SE 2 and Apple iPhone SE 3.
“There will be Taptic Engines located on the internal left and right sides to provide force feedback to make users feel like they are pressing physical buttons.” Kuo revealed in his tweet.
“Due to this design change, the number of Taptic Engines used in each iPhone will increase from the current one to three. As a result, the existing Taptic Engine suppliers, Luxshare ICT (1st supplier) and AAC Technologies (2nd supplier) will be significant beneficiaries.” he further added.

Joswiak that the company will comply with the new European Union regulation that forces a single charger for all smartphones and tablets from 2024.
