iPhone 15 Pro introduces a new Action Button.

[{"selector":"#anim-0ec702ee-5fa5-4c17-93f4-4cbc51dbe4bf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(38.725328889283816%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

iPhone 16 Pro may feature a smaller Action Button.

[{"selector":"#anim-8dfc95f5-5088-4919-a5bd-b35ed1ff1375 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(39.869448963951655%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Prototype shows redesigned button layout.

[{"selector":"#anim-3bb62a70-ddec-4b85-ad23-3552c1c05971 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(8.221804601983479%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Apple testing unified Volume Buttons. Four prototypes explored different button designs.

[{"selector":"#anim-340543e2-8ad0-44d9-a5dd-7682f63c0e8a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Options include small Action Button with unified Volume Buttons.

[{"selector":"#anim-36d3c0b8-0213-440a-9e72-05f0c26e6e39 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(32.514391337676514%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

iPhone 16 Pro testing a flushed Capture Button. Project Bongo initially aimed for haptic buttons.

[{"selector":"#anim-61145d81-0ee0-49f4-bfaa-50851856fcbb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Haptic buttons didn't make it to iPhone 15 Pro.

[{"selector":"#anim-fc772c7b-958f-4632-adaa-ca6cfad11855 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(53.191817494563246%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Apple explores capacitive Capture Button for iPhone 16 Pro.

[{"selector":"#anim-a3ed2f5b-f011-4d50-a14e-3cd0fe67a2f8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(19.451235558150234%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

"Proto2" design maintains iPhone 15 Pro's Action Button size.

[{"selector":"#anim-0daa7d49-9563-4f62-8e9f-620437eb830d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Plenty of time for testing before iPhone 16 Pro launch.

[{"selector":"#anim-64641398-749d-496f-8062-7dbef00ab671 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
