Leaker claims iPhone XX adopting solid-state buttons | JQJO

Apple is developing solid-state buttons to replace mechanical controls on the 20th‑anniversary iPhone due in 2027, claims Weibo leaker Instant Digital. The purported “iPhone XX” would introduce haptic Side, volume, Action, and Camera Control buttons that have completed functional verification, mimicking real clicks while distinguishing light and firm presses. The design reportedly integrates the buttons into the frame and could use vibration-based audio with AI sound compensation. The rumor aligns with reports of a borderless, wraparound display, though the revived “Project Bongo” remains unconfirmed.
