New Apple patent suggests future iPhone, iPad and Mac may have multiple Action buttons
Last year, Apple introduced the new Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which was later expanded to all iPhone 16 series models. Now, a new report by Patently Apple citing a recently published patent application by Apple claims future versions of the iPhone, iPad and Mac may get the new Action Button.
Apple’s new patent application suggests upcoming devices may also pack in multiple Action buttons. As it turns out, the volume rockers on future iPhones may also act as programmable buttons.
