Leak claims the 2027 iPhone Pro will drop the Action button

[Renegade51]

Apple may be changing the buttons on next year's iPhone Pro. 9to5Mac reports that leaker Instant Digital claims on Weibo that the 2027 iPhone Pro models will drop the Action button

Camera Control would stay. A press would open the camera, and a long press would take over the Action button's functions

The change is said to be tied to a 20th anniversary redesign, rumoured to include displays that curve around all four edges and larger screens. The iPhone Duo already lacks an Action button, which some users have disliked

This comes from a single leak and has not been confirmed. Apple rarely comments on rumours like this

The Action button has only been around for a few years, so removing it would be a surprising reversal. Combining its job with Camera Control could tidy up the design, but it risks making a popular shortcut harder to use. Leaks this early often change before launch

Do you use your Action button every day? And would you prefer fewer buttons or more control?
