The rumor mill has been consistently leaking details about the iPhone 18 series that’s arriving in 2026 and even the 20th anniversary iPhone 20 series, which is expected in 2027. A recent leak from tipster Setsuna Digital (via Weibo) offers an early glimpse at what could be a major shift in how Apple’s devices are controlled.

According to the post, Apple is preparing to move beyond the familiar click-mechanical buttons and into a new era of solid-state controls with haptic feedback, not just for iPhones, but also for its other devices.

Solid-state buttons with ultrasonic feedback

According to the source, by the time the iPhone 20 debuts in 2027, Apple intends to mass-produce solid-state buttons for the power key, volume controls, operational buttons and camera control buttons. Rather than moving parts, these buttons would rely on pressure sensing and “local vibration” feedback to give a button-like feel.

Prior to that, the leak says the camera control button will be simplified on the 2026-era “iPhone 18”, dropping its capacitive layer and retaining only a pressure-sensing mechanism. Following that, Apple plans to adopt piezoelectric ceramic components to provide the haptic sensation in later models.

The broader initiative is expected to replace mechanical keys across Apple’s entire ecosystem, including future iPad and Apple Watch models. Internally linked to the long-rumoured “Project Bongo”, the effort reportedly focuses on eliminating accidental inputs while ensuring a consistent and reliable tactile experience for users at scale.

As these kinds of interface changes tend to require significant validation, the leak suggests this transition is still in the research and refinement phase. The promise is durability (fewer moving parts to break) and new gesture possibilities (firm press, long hold, swipe) but the challenge is getting the tactile feedback and responsiveness right before rollout. Until then, mechanical buttons will likely remain in place while Apple works behind the scenes.

Xiaomi is said to be working on the Xiaomi 17 Ultra for the Chinese market. Speculations are rife that the device may launch before the end of this year. Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has been leaking key details about the 17 Ultra, and in a new leak, he shared new details about its camera capabilities and rear design.

As per reports, the new S-series is expected to launch in China next month (November). Ahead of the expected launch, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has leaked the key details about the Vivo S50 and S50 Pro Mini.

Vivo S50 series screen size details leaked

According to DCS, the Vivo S50 series will have two models with different-sized displays. The leak reveals that the standard model will have a 6.59-inch flat display offering a 1.5K resolution, paired with a metal middle frame and a periscope telephoto camera. The telephoto unit reportedly features a medium-sized sensor of flagship-grade quality, indicating a notable upgrade in zoom photography.

On the other hand, the Vivo S50 Pro Mini will be a compact offering equipped with a 6.31-inch flat display with support for 1.5K resolution. Being a Pro model, it will have top-tier camera hardware. It appears both phones will be equipped with a 50-megapixel front-facing camera.

When asked about what chipset powers the Vivo S50 series, the tipster seemingly suggested a flagship chip capable of achieving a 3M AnTuTu score for the Pro variant. As per a previous leak, this device could be equipped with the Dimensity 9400, which powered the Vivo X200 series last year.

The said leak also suggested that the Vivo S50 Pro Mini could be equipped with a triple-camera setup featuring a periscope camera. For security, it could be equipped with an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Vivo X300 could be in works

Vivo is also said to be working on the Vivo X300 FE for the global market. To recall, the China-exclusive Vivo S30 Pro Mini was rebranded as the Vivo X200 FE globally. Therefore, the X300 FE could be a rebadged version of the S50 Pro Mini.

And what happened to the Vivo S40 series? The company has reportedly skipped it because the number 4 is considered unlucky in China, prompting Vivo to move straight to the S50 series.
