Although the move was met with some disappointment, Apple did not change course and extended the change to all four <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/apple-iphone-16-3368121\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone 16<\/a> models last year.

A live image of the smartphone showcases three buttons on the side, including the volume rocker, the power button with an integrated fingerprint scanner, and the new customizable button.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Mg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"vivo x fold 5 customizable button leak\"  alt=\"vivo x fold 5 customizable button leak\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/vivo-x-fold-5-customizable-button-leak-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The leak also shows us the customization interface for this button, which looks strikingly similar to the iOS settings page for the Action button. The icons in this interface suggest that users will be able to mute the X Fold 5, launch the camera, turn on the flashlight, perform a song search, and enable DND with this button, among other things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
