Apple to Expand Action Button to Entire iPhone 16 Lineup

The new capacitive-type button will replace the traditional mute switch and feature a force sensor, with different sizes being tested for the button.

Apple plans to expand the Action Button to the entire iPhone 16 lineup, replacing the traditional mute switch.
The new Action Button will be a capacitive-type button, functioning similarly to the Touch ID Home button on older iPhone models.
The Action Button will feature a force sensor, allowing it to detect changes in pressure and potentially trigger different actions based on the force applied.
Apple has experimented with different sizes for the Action Button, with some prototypes featuring a larger button resembling the volume buttons.
The Action Button is also expected to be included in the next generation of the budget-friendly iPhone SE fourth-generation, set for a 2025 launch.
