Apple may be planning to simplify the hardware layout on future iPhones. According to a new rumor, upcoming iterations of the company's flagship smartphone lineup could feature one less physical button than current models.
While Apple recently expanded device inputs with additions like the Action button and Camera Control, reducing physical controls aligns with the company's long-term minimalist design trajectory. It remains unclear which specific button might be on the chopping block or whether it will be replaced by a solid-state or capacitive alternative.
Details regarding the timeline and specific models slated for this change have not been officially confirmed. As with all early hardware rumors, design choices can shift before a product enters mass production.
