iPhone 17 Pro tipped to sport new combined volume, Action button | Tech Tips

Days after the launch of the iPhone 16 Pro, leaks and speculations regarding the successor, the iPhone 17 Pro, have started appearing online. While Apple only reveals the features at the launch, a tipster claims that the brand might add a new button on the iPhone 17 Pro to merge the Volume and Action buttons.

Notably, the Action button, which allows users to customise and assign specific functions for quick access, was introduced with the launch of iPhone 15 Pro models. Additionally, the iPhone 16 Pro comes with a new Camera Control button that lets users access camera functions without opening the camera app. Here are the details of the new tipped button on the iPhone 17 Pro.

iPhone 17 Pro new button details tipped

• Though not confirmed, tipster Majin Bu Official on his website states the iPhone 17 Pro is currently under testing.
• As per the tipster, the upcoming Pro variant is expected to feature a single button to replace the volume and Action buttons.
• This new button is anticipated to offer enhanced functionality, like managing volume, ringtone settings, and other customisable functions.
• However, the specific capabilities are not yet fully defined and we might get to know more about it in future leaks.

Notably, the Action button, which replaced the traditional mute switch, can do a lot of jobs, like letting users switch to silent mode, launch the camera, or toggle the flashlight, but cannot control volume. So far, they can be done with the traditional volume keys. However, this might change with the launch of the iPhone 17 Pro.
