According to a report from MacRumors, code in the fourth iOS 17 developer beta hints at functionality for an Action button on the next-gen iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models. This button could be located on the side of the phone, replacing the current Ring/Silent switch.
The Action button could be used to perform a variety of tasks, such as launching a specific app, taking a screenshot, or activating Siri. It could also be used to customize shortcuts, so users could assign their favorite tasks to a single button press.
The addition of an Action button would give users more control over their iPhone. It would also make it easier to access frequently used features without having to fumble with the phone’s touchscreen.
It is still too early to say for sure whether or not the iPhone 15 will have an Action button. However, the code in iOS 17 suggests that it is a possibility. If Apple does decide to add an Action button, it could be a welcome addition for many users.
Here are some of the possible uses for the Action button:
- Launch a specific app: Users could assign their favorite app to the Action button, so they could launch it with a single press.
- Take a screenshot: A quick press of the Action button could take a screenshot, without having to open the Control Center or use a third-party app.
- Activate Siri: A long press of the Action button could activate Siri, so users could get hands-free assistance.
- Customize shortcuts: Users could customize shortcuts to assign their favorite tasks to the Action button.
The Action button could be a versatile new feature that gives users more control over their iPhone. It is still too early to say for sure whether or not it will be included on the iPhone 15, but it is a possibility that is worth keeping an eye on.
