iPhone 20 could roll the Action Button and Camera Control into a single button — and I'm very excited to see if that actually happens
Camera Control could be absorbing the Action Button on iPhone 20, and frankly that's how Apple should have done things from the start.
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.
