Apple is rumored to be getting a big redesign of the iPhone Pro models next year, and according to a new leak, it may come with the loss of the Action button. The action button will reportedly be removed from the iPhone Pro next year for the 20th anniversary redesign. 2027 brings the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, and all signs indicate that Apple has something special planned. Similar to the iPhone X’s 10th anniversary debut in 2017, Apple may unveil a bold new iPhone design next year. The new iPhone Pro models are rumored to have quad-curved displays that wrap around the edges for a bezel-less visual appearance. The screen size is also expected to increase. Today, a new post from leaker Instant Digital on Weibo says that this new design will also bring losses. According to the post, the Action button will be removed from next year’s iPhone Pro models. However, the devices will retain a camera control button, similar to the iPhone Duo. However, the leaker says that the Action button functionality will not be completely lost. Instead, it says Camera Control will continue to launch the Camera app with a standard press, but a long press will offer functionality similar to an Action button. When iPhone Duo dropped the Action button, some users expressed disappointment that the button’s versatility was lost. Our own Chance Miller, for example, said he’d be happy to give up camera control to keep the action button. It appears that Apple plans to integrate the two, a pattern that will likely apply to the next-generation iPhone Duo and other future models as well.
