Action button functions may be moved to Camera Control button, according to leak
AI-generated summary
The action button was first introduced in 2023 with the iPhone 15 Pro series. Users can assign functions such as mute, camera, flashlight, focus mode and various shortcuts to this button.
It has been claimed that Apple is preparing to simplify the physical button design in future iPhone models.
According to the information shared by the leaker known as Instant Digital on the China-based Weibo platform, the company is considering removing the Action button on current models and moving the functions of this button to the Camera Control button.
TWO FUNCTIONS CAN BE COLLECTED IN ONE BUTTON
Allegedly, in the new system, pressing the Camera Control button once will open the camera application.
When the button is pressed for a long time, the function that the user previously assigned to the Action button will be activated.
Thus, camera control and customizable shortcut features will be combined in a single physical button.
VISUAL INTELLIGENCE FEATURE MAY NOT BE AFFECTED
It is stated that the Visual Intelligence feature, which is accessed by long pressing the Camera Control button on current iPhone models, may not be affected by this change.
The reason for this is that the feature in question has been integrated directly into the Camera application with iOS 27.
The fact that Apple does not include a separate Action button in the iPhone Duo model is considered as another detail that strengthens the claims that the company is preparing to reduce the number of physical buttons.
PLAN TO REDUCE PRODUCTION COST?
According to MacRumors, it was previously claimed that Apple was considering reducing production costs by removing the capacitive sensing layer on the Camera Control button.
While the latest leak suggests that the company is rethinking the button design more thoroughly, it is not yet known whether the two changes are part of the same plan.
ACTION BUTTON COMING IN 2023
The action button was first introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro series in 2023.
It is stated that the button, where users can assign functions such as mute, camera, flashlight, focus mode and various shortcuts, may be removed from models that will be released in the second half of 2027.
This date also coincides with the 20th anniversary of the iPhone.
IPHONE 19 PRO OR IPHONE 20 PRO?
There are also different claims regarding the naming of the upper segment models that Apple will introduce in 2027.
It is said that the new devices may be offered for sale under the name "iPhone 19 Pro" or "iPhone 20 Pro" due to the 20th anniversary.
Apple has not yet made an official statement regarding the claims that the Action button will be removed and the functions of the Camera Control button will be expanded.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
Apple may introduce an iPhone model without the Action button in the second half of 2027.
