iPhone 15 Pro Rumored to Feature Multi-Use Action Button Instead of Mute Switch

Well the problem there are some of us who only randomly use mute on, when in meetings it might disturb. Otherwise I want mute off so I can hear calls, notifications in my belt holster case (miss vibrations there). And I like case as I mentioned in other threads and the mute switch already hard to set (so never turn on unplanned) given I always protect my phone with a clear apple case, the flat touch button whatever it does is going to be harder for me to use than the slightly elevated switch so not a win for everyone LOL

I only use the mute switch sometimes at work. Any other tI e my ringer is turned on so I can hear notifications and calls. I also have ringtones, so I know who is calling without looking at the phone.

Interesting. I wonder if the rumored Action button is for the 15 Pro, Max or [rumored] Ultra (if not all three).

Off-topic, but related: I don't own an AWU. So I have no real-world data here. Just a hunch - which could [likely] be wrong. But I kind of suspect the Action button is one of those cool looking, highly touted/marketed "features" that, at the end of the day, doesn't actually see much action (sorry, couldn't resist). Again, I could be wrong but would love to hear some AWU owners chime in on their Action button usage and perspective.

As far as an Action button for iPhone - I'll have to wait and see. I do implement some Accessibility features (double-tap the back of iPhone to take a screen shot and triple-tap the Power button to pull all blue light out of the screen, yielding an all-red screen which is great for low-light phone access in spaces where even a fully dimmed screen is still too disruptive - think photography at a concert), so I'm curious about an Action button on iPhone as a concept. Just uncertain if it would make its way into my workflow. We'll see.

I use the Action button on my Ultra to start an outdoor workout. I work outside and love tracking my workouts, so this feature is beneficial that I only have to touch one button one time.
