I once again was wondering what the correct/best toolbar button placement for sheet close buttons are. So, I’ve inspected how Apple places their close buttons. 🕵️♂️
Unfortunately it’s quite different across the system, so it’s a bit hard to see a strict pattern. Some apps are even inconsistent within themselves like Safari, Wallet, or Weather.
(All screenshots are from iOS 26, but from what I can tell it’s the same on iOS 27)

Feels like most often the close buttons are placed on the trailing position. To me that is probably a remnant of the old placement of the “Done” button of pre iOS 26 aera, which always placed it on the trailing side. 2/5 🧵
