Cirrus the ‘winner’ for change to solid state buttons on iPhone 15, says Kuo

Cirrus Logic (CRUS) is the "primary winner" for canceling physical buttons and the change to adopt solid-state buttons on the 2H23 high-end iPhone 15 (AAPL) models, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said via Twitter. The analyst previously said that "My latest survey indicates that the volume button and power button of two high-end iPhone 15/2H23 new iPhone models may adopt a solid-state button design (similar to the home button design of iPhone 7/8/SE2 & 3) to replace the physical/mechanical button design." Kuo said Wednesday that the latest survey indicates that the high-end iPhone 15 models will feature solid-state buttons and will equip with additional Taptic Engines to simulate the feel of physical buttons’ force feedback and that Cirrus stands to benefit "markedly" from the new design as the exclusive supplier of Taptic Engine’s controller IC for solid-state buttons.
