It was reported not long ago that Apple plans to replace its mute switch with a mute button on the iPhone 15 Pro, and a newly-leaked video and images taken from it confirm that fact. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will see this change.

The iPhone 15 Pro series will welcome a mute button, instead of a mute switch

This was confirmed via more CAD images that were shared via TikTok (reshared by ShrimpApplePro). These images not only show the mute button, but a switch to solid-state buttons for the ‘Pro’ series of next-gen iPhones. That is also something we expected.

The video shown below also shows that the iPhone 15 vanilla series will keep the physical buttons, and the mute switch. So, the entire button setup is more or less confirmed for the ‘Pro’ series only at this point.

The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will include their mute button on the left-hand side, in the upper portion of it. In other words, it will sit in the same spot where you’d find the mute switch.

It will be a physical mute button, not a solid-state one

Unlike the solid-state power/lock and volume rocker buttons, this mute button seems to be a physical one. What we’re wondering is if it will be a regular physical button, like the power/lock key on current-gen iPhones, or perhaps a button that will stay pressed when the phone is muted, and be in its default state when not.

We’ll have to wait and see. Who knows, maybe Apple even adds an indicator in form of a different light or something of the sort, but that’s a long shot. This is Apple we’re talking about after all.

It is worth noting that all iPhone 15 models will include a Dynamic Island setup this time around. That goes for both vanilla and Pro models. They’ll all also include a Type-C port at the bottom, as the Lightning port is finally becoming a thing of the past.
