Future iPhones may not have physical buttons, according to an unconfirmed report from a leaker who goes by Instant Digital, and who shared the information on the Chinese social media ⁤platform ⁣Weibo.

Tech news site 9to5Mac translated the post from Chinese.

“The solid-state button scheme of​ Apple iPhone has completed the functional⁢ verification and is planned to be mass-produced and applied on the iPhone 20 in 2027,” the ‍translation read.”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.”

A representative for Apple ‌did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
