What’s happened? Apple is apparently set to simplify its Camera Control button, starting with the iPhone 18, and fully completely the process for the iPhone 20.
This is important because: Apple is trading complexity for reliability while setting the stage for a fully haptic interface. If accurate, the iPhone 18 camera key keeps familiar tricks without the pricier touch layer beneath it.
Why should I care? This touches daily muscle memory, from framing a shot to tweaking volume. The iPhone 18 camera key should feel the same in your hand, even if Apple quietly changes the tech under it.
Okay, so what’s next? Expect a quiet switch first, then the larger feel change.
