The world of smartphones never stands still and Apple is continuously setting standards with its innovative developments. With the release of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, the Action button was introduced, which offers custom functionality. Now, information has surfaced indicating that Apple plans to integrate this Action button into the entire iPhone 16 range. Below, we will shed light on the exciting details about the Action button and the upcoming changes in the iPhone 16.

The idea of the Action button reportedly dates back to 2021, when it was first conceived along with the haptic volume and power buttons. Although the other buttons were eliminated due to technical challenges, the Action button has made its way into the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, replacing the traditional mute button.

The functions of the action key

The action button in the iPhone 15 Pro is versatile and can be configured to suit individual needs. It can activate silent mode, turn on the flashlight, launch the camera, open shortcuts, record voice memos, and much more. This makes it a handy tool for everyday use.

The iPhone 16 and the capacitive action button

For the iPhone 16, Apple is planning (via MacRumors), to redesign the action button and convert it from a mechanical button to a capacitive button. This innovation, codenamed "Atlas," is expected to work similarly to the Touch ID home button on older iPhone models or the Force Touch trackpad on MacBooks. A force sensor will detect pressure changes and implement a "clock switching" function, the details of which are still unclear.

The Future of the Action Button

The action button is expected not only in the iPhone 16 but also in the fourth-generation iPhone SE, which is rumored to be released in 2025. This suggests that the action button could replace the mute button on all future iPhones that are currently in development. Although the information about the action button in the iPhone 16 is promising, we should keep in mind that this is preliminary information that could change before mass production. Nevertheless, Apple is once again showing its innovative spirit and commitment to continuously improving its products. We can be excited to see what new possibilities the iPhone 16 will offer us with its expanded action button. Are you looking for new accessories?
