Apple Rumored to Drop the iPhone's Action Button Next Year
A Weibo leak says a long press would keep Action button functions while Apple drops the dedicated control to simplify future iPhone Pro hardware.
- Apple plans to merge the Action and Camera Control starting in 2027, according to leaker Instant Digital. The change involves removing the Action from new Pro models.
- Previously, Apple introduced the Action to replace the Ring and Silent switch. The Camera Control debuted later, though some users found it complex for Focus and Shortcuts functions.
- According to Instant Digital, a single press opens the Camera while a long press triggers Action functions. This design shift could simplify the Pro and reduce button confusion for users.
- Duo models already lack the Action despite retaining Camera Control, providing precedent for the change. Chance Miller expressed disappointment about removing the Action, though Apple appears set to continue combining these functions.
- The redesign coincides with the 20th anniversary in 2027, mirroring Apple's bold 10th-anniversary redesign strategy. Screen size increases and new Pro design elements are also expected to accompany the merged controls.
