The latest iOS 18 update strongly hints that Apple's forthcoming iPhone 16 lineup might incorporate the highly anticipated solid-state buttons.

Unveiled at the recent WWDC, iOS 18 includes a much-discussed "hide and lock apps" feature that some worry could be misused for privacy concerns related to infidelity. Among its other noteworthy additions are many AI features and several notable improvements, including enhanced visual effects.

I would like at least 26 more buttons

I want buttons with two sides, buttons with multiple steps, I want buttons on buttons! Give me buttons made of shirt buttons, one button, two buttons, red buttons, blue buttons. BUTTONS!

I was thinking more like buttons for A-Z, but that sounds good too.

The technology arguably exists for them to make solid states buttons that look and feel real. If they protrude, and have pressure sensitivity and haptics like the Magic TrackPad, then they’re going to fool the vast majority of people.

And by doing this, they could leverage some of extra features and configurations options that their other solid state buttons have had. Gestures, pressure sensitivity, increased accessibility customization, etc.
