Apple might get rid of longtime iPhone feature
Key Points:
- Apple may remove the iPhone's Action button starting in the second half of 2027, according to a leaker known as "Instant Digital" on Weibo.
- The Action button, located on the left side of the iPhone, currently controls settings like Silent Mode and Focus.
- Reports suggest the iPhone 20 will combine the Action button with the Camera Control, allowing a single press to open the camera and a longer press to perform the Action button's functions.
- If true, this would be the first removal of an iPhone physical control since the mute switch, possibly due to the Action button's low usage.
- Apple has not yet commented on the rumor.
