Evans isn’t the only person still stuck on the missing button (he and Donald Trump agree on at least one thing), which Apple swapped for a steady cycle of motor feedback on the iPhone 7 and eventually dropped entirely from iPhone X onwards. Evans’ other big complaint is that it’s too heavy. Like many people who struggle with bulkier phones, the actor is awkwardly holding the phone with his pinky finger, and no, the newly refreshed iPhone SE (2022) just won’t replace it. Collider reports that Evans confirmed his new phone is an iPhone 12, which the cameras show is definitely a Pro model, but not the iPhone 13 Pro we guessed it would be from the original Instagram post. The interview didn’t say where it picked up the older model, which Apple pulled from its lineup last fall but is still readily available from other retailers and carrier stores. It doesn’t look like Apple is going to bring back the favorite button. Some iPhone users may prefer to use AssistiveTouch to add a software-based virtual home button that you can place anywhere on your screen, and that’s not the only iPhone accessibility setting that could improve your experience on mobile. Another option is to rely entirely on iOS’s beloved gesture control, but the only thing I can think of that would address the weight of the phone is if Apple adjusts its approach to the iPhone mini.
