iPhone 20 could roll the Action Button and Camera Control into a single button — and I'm very excited to see if that actually happens

I've always been a little bit confused about the launch of Camera Control on the iPhone 16. It's one of those features that generally feels pretty redundant, especially since there are already better ways to quick launch the camera app that Apple hasn't bothered with yet. Well the good news is that the standalone Camera Control button could be on its way out, or at least it might be according to one leaker.

The leaker Instant Digital posted about this on their Weibo account, noting that the Camera Control and Action Buttons could be merged as soon as next year's iPhone 20. The new button will apparently launch the camera with a single tap, while press-and-hold will fire up whatever Action Button setting you have mapped. There's no mention of touch sensitivity, or any of the other Camera Control features that are currently available.

Instant Digital clarifies that this means the Action Button will be rolled into Camera Control, rather than the other way around. This presumably means the button will remain on the bottom right side of the phones, in the spot Camera Control currently occupies. That said, whichever way this might happen, I am all for it, because I've never liked Camera Control.

I've been using iPhones on and off for years, since before the Camera Control button was added to the iPhone 16 series two years ago. Apple marketed this button as a way to instantly access the camera with a single click and adjust camera features with your finger — rather than the touchscreen controls.
