Apple patents design for multiple Action buttons in future devices

Apple has filed a patent for a new design that may introduce multiple Action Buttons to future iPhones, iPads, and Macs. This follows the introduction of the Action Button in the iPhone 15 Pro series, which allows users to customize functions. The patent suggests that volume rockers could also serve as programmable buttons with haptic feedback, enhancing user interaction. This would allow users to assign specific tasks to volume controls, increasing versatility. While the patent indicates potential changes, it is uncertain when or if these features will be implemented in devices beyond the iPhone. The development reflects Apple's ongoing efforts to innovate and improve user experience.
