WIth just a few months to go (probably) until Apple officially reveals the iPhone 15 line up, the rumour mill has been working overtime to churn out leaks and tidbits about the upcoming devices.

We've heard for a while now that the iPhone 15 Pro could do away with physical buttons in favour of solid-state counterparts.
