  "account": "Apple is rumored to be making significant changes to its upcoming iPhone Pro models next year, with a potential removal of a key button called the Action button, according to a new leak. The 2027 release, coinciding with the iPhone's 20th anniversary, is expected to feature several bold design updates, including quad-curved displays that wrap around the edges for a nearly bezel-free look. Screen sizes are also anticipated to be larger. However, according to a leak from leaker Instant Digital on Weibo, the Action button will be dropped from the redesigned iPhone Pro models. Despite the button's removal, the devices will still include a Camera Control button, similar to the one found in the iPhone Duo. The leaker explains that the Action button's functionality won't be completely gone; instead, Camera Control will launch the Camera app with a standard press, while a long-press will provide the Action button's functionality. This change follows a similar move when iPhone Duo removed the Action button, with some users voicing disappointment over the loss of its versatility. Apple may incorporate the button's features into other future models, including the next-generation iPhone Duo.",
