Do you have to unlock your phone to do that?

The action button is called Assistive Touch. You activate it with the side button and can set it to restart your phone among other functions.

All I know is I should not have to look up online how to shut down my iPhone. And that’s currently the situation because power button long press is for Siri? (I think. I don’t use Siri).

Fix that and I’ll be happy.

Agreed....Id rather long press for power off. I can use hey Siri and dont need the long press, so its just a duplication of functions.

Then it's delayed, then it's on schedule, then they had production issues, then eveything is fine, then they have software delays, then they think maybe it's for iPhone 18, then Apple releases it in the 15 and they are all like "we told you! we were right all along! see?!"

It's going to be a long 6 months.

Hahahah. Well they will only be right if they guess all the scenarios.

Siri, of course. Duh!

I know but umm, some people can't speak.
