With the introduction of the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple introduced a new Action Button to replace the popular volume profile switch. This is a divisive decision among fans of the American’s smartphones, but it should be replicated on the iPhone 16.
In fact, new rumors state that the Action Button will be implemented in all models of the iPhone 16 line, arriving in September 2024. This will, therefore, be the end of the volume profile switch on the iPhone.
Action button will be a sight on every iPhone 16
This data is highlighted by the publication MacRumors, which came across strong evidence of this change in Apple smartphones. Please note that this small button will undergo some changes for the next generation of iOS devices.
Firstly, Apple wants to move to a capacitive solution, that is, doing away with a physical button to offer us something similar to the iPhone SE’s home button. The same approach that has been speculated for months for the iPhone 15.
This revamped Action Button will feature a pressure sensor and a “tactile switch functionality.” It is not yet clear what the last point means, so we will have to wait for further clarification.
With this change, Apple intends to offer even more features to the iPhone 16’s Action Button. Note that the approach present in the iPhone 15 Pro is already comprehensive, but Apple may reserve some more assets for its next generation.
The source notes that the first prototypes of the upcoming iPhone 16 were seen with the aforementioned Action Button. As the development process progressed, this detail did not change, which suggests that Apple is determined to bring it to its next devices furniture.
Still regarding the iPhone 16, Apple is preparing to add a “capture” button on the right side of these models. This will be a shortcut for taking photographs and should also be capacitive.
Next iPhone SE will also feature an Action Button
It is also said that the Action Button will also be part of the next generation of the iPhone SE. In other words, Apple wants to permanently get rid of the volume profile switch on its smartphones.
This more affordable model is only expected to be unveiled in 2025. Before that, we will know if Apple is really committed to this approach when the iPhone 16 is revealed next year.
