Apple’s 20th Anniversary iPhone to Skip Action Button for Camera Control Integration

Apple is reportedly planning to remove the dedicated Action Button from its upcoming 20th anniversary iPhone, according to a new leak. The tipster suggests that the functionality will be merged with the existing Camera Control button, which would handle both camera operations and action triggers through different press durations.

According to the source, the single-tap function of the Camera Control button will open the camera app, while a long press could trigger the assigned Action Button functionality. This proposed integration marks a significant shift in hardware design for Apple’s flagship lineup, which has relied on distinct physical controls since the introduction of the Action Button.

The Action Button was introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in 2023, replacing the traditional Alert Slider. It remains mappable to different actions while defaulting to a mute switch. The slider was phased out completely in 2024 with the arrival of the iPhone 16 lineup.

The tipster claims that the Action Button has undergone little to no changes since its launch, suggesting that Apple may be seeking a more streamlined hardware approach for the milestone device. This potential redesign aligns with previous reports indicating that the 20th anniversary models will prioritize unique display features over advanced internal technology.

Recent leaks have suggested that the iPhone 20 Pro could receive a major display redesign featuring a quad-curved panel. Additional rumors point to a new camera design and a glass-centric design overhaul for the Pro models. Earlier reports also indicated that the anniversary devices might feature larger displays with curved, borderless edges.

The integration of the Action Button into the Camera Control button would simplify the device's side profile but requires users to adapt to new interaction patterns. Apple has not officially commented on these rumors or confirmed any details regarding the 20th anniversary iPhone.
