Apparently, Apples design still has a problem with false-touches where the button reacts despite nobody actually pressing it.
They also note that responsiveness isnt guaranteed either.
The benefit to solid-state buttons is that they should prove more reliable in the long term.
The lack of mechanical parts means their components wouldnt wear out over time.
The closest we got was theCamera Control button.
While this button is flush to the phones frame and offers haptic controls, its not truly solid-state.
So there are still mechanical components inside.
So far we havent heard of any rumors suggesting solid-state buttons will come toiPhone 17.
Considering Apple apparently hasnt got the design completely right, I wouldnt get my hopes up.
It may even be a few years before proper solid-state buttons make their iPhone debut.
