Reply to comment by Daftworks in iPhone 15 Pro & Pro Max to be equipped with always-on “micro-processor” that will manage capacitive buttons and more even while the phone is powered down. by AppleXOS
It’s an accelerator like contextual menus or keyboard shortcuts. They don’t replace primary interaction they augment it.

Same thing that happens now when using the phone with gloves. Nothing unless they have a conductive material in the fabric

Apple has to solve that problem anyway for the buttons. Cutouts that expose the frame? A case material that allows for pass-through conductivity.

Capacitive touch requires some some material that conducts electricity to close the loop. Unless your phone dropped on a conductive material like water nothing would happen.
