The next iPhones are said to all get a dedicated camera button along with an Action button, but CNET’s Bridget Carey explains it’s not just the button that will drive a massive amount of customers to upgrade this year.

They should just make these releases every two years.

Yeah, sure, I'll keep my 13 mini until it gets unsupported.

[NickDrinksWater]

Seems odd for them to add more buttons when they originally wanted to remove the buttons and ports

[brockhubbard]

Glad she addressed it’s the same thing everyyyy yearrrr

My Action button opens my motorised gate. So happy with that feature

[Bling_The_Visual_Creator]

I'll hold out for an iPhone 100 with a 100x optical zoom to the moon.

I’d want to use the action button to start and stop screen recordings. I feel like that’ll save me the time rather than bringing down the control centre every time.

I just purchased a iPhone 13 mini. Used to have it, regret selling it, and plan to hold on to it for many more years. Buttons, AI, none of that stuff means much to me personally.

[thelonewolf]

If you have an 12 or earlier model, then yeah, upgrade. If you have a 13, 14 or 15 it probably won’t be worth it

[Ptorres]

The cutout on the case for 16 Pro seems to match the MM Wave antenna. Don’t think it’s for an additional button.

[funnyberries]

Hold onto your phones for as long as possible! It's good for the environment, good for your wallet, and an 1 every 5 year upgrade feels way more satisfying then once every 2.

[BarelyAverageDude]

I just wish the action button could be mute AND another function. Like maybe a double press does something different than a long press.

[Thatsme]

since I still have an iphone x i might finally upgrade this year

[lovescarguitar]

Wow. What a new and groundbreaking design

[richardbixler]

I have a 13 Pro Max. Honestly, it made me miss my iPhone 7 Pro. Leaving Touch ID was a huge misstep. I still use my iPhone 7 Pro for some smart home stuff. It still wows me that before I can even look at the screen it’s unlocked every time without fail. Dropping the unlock switch will be awful. I’m not being dramatic here, it might be the final nail in the coffin for movie theaters. I can already imagine a future where at least one person at every movie accidentally pocket unscilences their phone. It’s a cost cutting measure. There’s no reason you couldn’t make a programmable toggle switch. That said the stacked Sony censor that’s rumored to be coming might make me upgrade. It would be a huge leap in quality over my 12mp camera.

As an Apple enthusiast phones are good enough to where a new release yearly is not necessary

[Olivia_Spencer]

I think action button can be used for calling or capturing photos

[adjmally]

Hoping and waiting for the unseen is what actually saves me money. I think I keep waiting and waiting until my 13 Pro gets dropped by iOS 😂

[draszi]

Would be amazing if it added a fingerprint sensor on it

[kireikotomine]

On my S5 Active, I also have an action button that can be programmed to open two different apps depending if you use a quick press or a long press. It's nice that Apple is adding features instead of taking features away but is that worth upgrading for most iPhone users by now?
