I have never had a Pro model iPhone before but decided to go with it because I wanted promotion. I really didn't care much about the other benefits the pro offered over the regular 15, but soon realized the action button was pretty neat. I have it setup to toggle my "work" focus on and off and it's really amazing how quickly it can update my screen layouts, notification preferences, etc. on all my devices with such a simple action. It has really come in handy. I am a fan.
Got a tip for us?

Me too. Anticipated it to be a gimmick but it's just SO much more useful than the old mute switch...
Yep, me too. I have mine set to act as a ring/silent toggle during the day, but after a certain time in the evening it switches me into my own style of night mode (ringer on, do not disturb[*] on, night shift on) and then the next press undoes that and takes me back to silent, turns do not disturb off and turns night shift off. Tempted to add some extra logic so that perhaps during the day it'll detect orientation for doing other stuff instead of just ring/silent, or maybe a double press type of interaction, but for now my set up works well for me 😀
* I use DND so that select contacts can still ring me while everyone else is silenced etc.
