iPhone 15 Pro Design Leak Shows New Volume, Mute Buttons [PICS]
Newly leaked CAD images of the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro seem to confirm earlier reports of new unified volume buttons as well as a new “pressing type” mute button (via 9to5Mac).

Offering a closer look at the new design, a set of new images and a video were shared on Twitter by reliable leaker ShrimpApplePro.
The leaked CAD images clearly show the new design of the volume buttons and the mute switch on the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.

Looking at the video, one can appreciate the new unified volume buttons replacing the two separate buttons for increasing and decreasing the volume levels.

In addition to the capacitive volume button, there’s also a new mute button, which replaces the current generation iPhone mute switch. You can also notice a smaller camera bump on the iPhone 15 Pro in the video.
It must be noted that the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus devices won’t be getting the new mute button design.

The new mute button should be much better. The current one is a bit hard to access in a case.

Interesting. Time will tell whether having a single unified volume button is better than two separate buttons…
WHO CARES?! Sorry for shouting, and the enthusiasts among us might be interested in incremental improvements, but this is a completely inconsequential change that doesn’t qualify as news. Come on Apple, do something even remotely exciting for us. It’s been a while.
This isn’t just a design change there is some functionality behind it. Maybe the volume button now includes a touch sensitive slider like on the AirPods Pro gen 2. Apple wouldn’t just change the buttons for no reason …or have they run out of ideas lol. Not sure if I like the mute button vs rocker switch.
I think it’s more that Apple hasn’t released any new compelling ideas, ever since their shift to becoming an extremely conservative company in the 2010s. We’ll see if the VR headset pans out though. That might be interesting.
