Haptic buttons are coming not just for the iPhone, but also devices including the iPad and the Apple Watch, as Project Bungo is said to have been revived.
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max originally featured haptic buttons as part of Project Bongo
In 2024, AppleInsider exclusively proved that Apple had intended for the iPhone 15 Pro to feature haptic buttons, replacing its physical ones. The design even reached Apple’s EVT-stage prototyping, and was later revealed in a patent application.
The so-called Project Bongo was reportedly cancelled because of continuing technical problems. Reportedly, test results were unsatisfactory, and there were high hardware failure rates.
