- iPhone 15 Pro leaked CAD-based renders affirm some rumored design details.
- The volume buttons appear to be sticking around for now, but the mute switch might change to an “Action button.”
- The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models will likely not lose the mute switch.
We’ve seen a few different rumors related to the designs of the iPhone 15 series. Notably, rumors all seem to point to Apple differentiating more between Pro-level and non-Pro-level models. One of the rumors was that Pro-level iPhones could get a new solid-state volume rocker and lose out on the mute switch, with a mute button taking its place.
A new set of leaked CAD-based renders of the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max suggest these rumors are partly true (via 9to5Mac). The renders suggest Apple has rolled back its decision to revamp the volume buttons. In other words, the two volume buttons should look, feel, and function the same as they do on current iPhones.
