At that time, the power button, volume button, operation button and camera control button will be upgraded to solid-state buttons with local vibration feedback!<\/p>\n<p>This is far from the first time that Apple has been predicted to replace physical iPhone buttons with solid-state options.<\/p>\n<p>We were <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/04\/22\/iphone-16-physical-buttons\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">last expecting<\/a> the switch to happen with iPhone 16 Pro, for example. That didn\u2019t pan out.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the company was ever going to actually ship the change, the new \u2018iPhone 20\u2019 model seems a great candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the iPhone X that marked the iPhone\u2019s 10th anniversary, we\u2019re expecting an especially unique new iPhone 20 in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Rumors <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/05\/16\/jony-ives-dream-iphone-thats-all-screen-may-finally-be-coming-true\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">indicate<\/a> it could have an all-glass, wrap-around display with no cutouts. But since we\u2019re still a couple years out, it\u2019s highly possible for the final details to change before launch.<\/p>\n<p>If Apple does replace all physical buttons in the device with haptic feedback, it could be related to the rumored wrap-around display. So I\u2019m giving this leak a little more weight than I normally might for a two-year-out model.<\/p>\n<p>How would you feel about Apple replacing the iPhone 20\u2019s physical buttons with solid-state haptics?
