The claim
Starting with iPhones released in the second half of 2027, the separate Action button goes away; a press of Camera Control opens the camera and a long press runs the assigned Action.
Why we rated it Rumor
From Weibo leaker Instant Digital, relayed by MacRumors, 9to5Mac and GSMArena. The leaker has a mixed record: an earlier claim of a simplified Camera Control for iPhone 18 did not happen. The iPhone Duo already ships without an Action button, which makes the idea plausible, but there is no second source.
