The rumor mill has it that all models of the next-gen iPhone will be getting an Action button.
Whether or not this changes your life or makes you a billion times more productive, that’s a different thing altogether.
Last September, Apple debuted its much-anticipated Action button with the iPhone 15 Pro models, offering faster access to a handful of functions, as well as the ability to assign Shortcuts. Apple is poised to include the feature on all upcoming iPhone 16 models.
The Action button replaced the switch that activates the Ring and Silent modes on the iPhone 15 Pro models, wherein the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models retained the traditional Ring/Silent switch. By default, the Action button still activates these two functions via a long press, but users can also make it activate a range of other functions, including quickly opening the camera app or enabling the flashlight, activating Voice Memos, Focus modes, Translate, and accessibility features like Magnifier.
So, if you love the Action button and hope to upgrade to an iPhone 16 this year, you might love it. If the Action button can be left behind in your opinion, there’s that as well.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
