Apple has filed a new patent that describes smartphones with improved side buttons. The document states that the company plans to replace the standard volume buttons with two multifunctional Action Buttons, first introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.
The main idea is to retain the basic functions of traditional buttons, such as changing the volume level, but add the ability to reprogram them. Users will be able to assign additional actions, such as launching applications or controlling smart devices.
Apple is considering implementing the Action Button not only in the iPhone, but also in other devices, including the Mac and Apple Watch. However, the exact timing of the implementation of the new concept has not yet been announced.
