Yeah, assistive touch, not part of the normal control like iPad for instance. Because its far from ideal.

Apple fixing things that no one asks to be fixed 
Yep these are my concerns also. And why unless the camera upgrade is as good as they say with telephoto (apple always gets me with camera improvements one of my big iphone uses LOL) I will stay with my 14 ProMax and avoid IUP this year.
Huh? What do you mean it makes no sense? We use the sound toggle all the time.

Needs to be raised I like the old style better. If I cannot feel it with fingers in a case as I can now then it requires more effort to look and see the volume “bar” and also the mute button which I use in cases where I do not want phone to ring. I like the ability to feel the separate up and down with my fingers without much of a glance or look @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 so the “futuristic” look is MEH if this impedes how I use my phone LOL. Of course you know the telephoto camera upgrade will likely get me not this stuff. Otherwise maybe will keep 14 ProMax and let the rest of you try it out for a year LOL
I'm kinda happy right now that I got iPhone 14 Pro.
Your comment is what is laughable. Yes, we can feel any such thing. I use the switch by feel all the time without ever having to look at the phone. And being a soul that never uses focus, I don't care to learn how to use it.
Unfortunately my iPhone 14 Pro Max lacks a SIM card slot in the USA which clobbers international travel. No points of entry in Southern Africa had a shop that could program an e-sim. So I have to carry a 13 Mini to be able to do just that, have a variable second number in world traaveling. A giant step backwards to have to carry two phones where one worked for the last three years. And no, I did not want to get a Canadian or elsewhere iPhone.
Oh good. Another area of the case or screen that you can't touch or brush against without accidentially setting something off.
Can't innovate anymore, my ass!!! 🤣 Seriously though, this is really getting sad.
How do you do DFU mode then? And what if the phone software is frozen? Not only this betrays the iconic design of the iPhone, this is a solution looking for a problem.
Best design ever IMOI do prefer the classic iPhone 4 button design but I think it might be time for a change. A good change! It does remind me of Macbook Pro Touch Bar.
I also have a feeling we will be able to do more with the unified pill shape button then just changing the volume.
Might as well make the side button solid-state with Touch ID while they're at it 😂
Good point, I didn't think about that.
And I'm going to make a prediction, the volume control will work as a touch sensitive slider instead of a button.
Doesn't matter for me what they do
I switch my phone on mute the moment it comes out of the box and never change it
I am one of these 'text me' people the 'call me' people seem to hate

Me as well. Unless the telephoto upgrade in the Pro/Ultra end is significant I might sit out the 15 and wait for the 16 with fingerprint and such LOL. Love my 14 ProMax and in fact I could easily go with a two year upgrade cycle in iphone Pro/Ultra series (kind of what I see with the ultra watch I have) in my apple IUP program.
Same here. I just got my 14PM and ... I REALLY like it and lucked out in the battery department so ... I might sit out the 15 and let them perfect the new design for a year or two. I like what I see tho. But I won't kid myself, every year all these rumors pop up and a lot of them are ...
Even if the telephoto is worth it, I'm going to wait for 16P atleast. Makes no sense for me (and for most tbh) for yearly upgrade.
