Next year's iPhone Pro models are rumored to feature a major redesign for the iPhone's 20th anniversary in 2027. A new leak from Instant Digital on Weibo reveals the Action button will be dropped from the Pro lineup. Similar to the iPhone X's 10th anniversary redesign, Apple is planning bold changes including quad-curved displays that wrap around the edges for a bezel-free look, with screen sizes expected to increase.
While the Action button is being removed, the Camera Control button will remain. The leaker indicates Camera Control will retain standard camera launching functionality, but a long-press will offer Action button-like features, effectively integrating the two functions. When the iPhone Duo previously dropped the Action button, some users expressed disappointment over lost versatility.
The redesign suggests Apple is merging button functionalities across future models. The source also mentions various iPhone accessories and pricing information.
