Apple’s plan to scrap the Action Button makes me anxious
I will finally have to make peace with Camera Control, and I’m not happy.
The Camera Control and Action Button features were introduced to the iPhone 16, but some users find them redundant. According to a leaker named Instant Digital, these buttons could be merged into a single button in the upcoming iPhone 20. When pressed, the new button would launch the camera, while pressing and holding would activate the Action Button setting.
The button would remain on the bottom right corner of the phone, where it currently is. This change could be beneficial as it would combine the functionality of both buttons while eliminating the need for an extra button. However, since the information is unverified, there is no guarantee that Apple will implement this change in the iPhone 20.
