Apple could remove the separate Action button from iPhones arriving in the second half of 2027. MacRumors reported the claim from Weibo leaker Instant Digital on November 6.
One control, two presses
Under the proposed design, a short press of Camera Control would open the camera, while a long press would run the assigned action. Apple has not confirmed this single-source rumour. Affected models and implementation remain uncertain; repeated coverage is not independent verification.
