New Customized Action Button

The new iphone 15 comes with a special button on the side that you can customize to do perform many functions. This button is called the “Action Button,” and it’s a bit like the one on the Apple Watch Ultra, which can start workouts and other tasks.

This action button can be programmed to do various tasks like opening the camera, turning on the flashlight, recording voice memos,magnifiers and more. It can also help with accessibility by doing things like zooming in on the screen.

By default, the Action Button does what the old switch on the side did, which is changing the iPhone between making noise and being silent. You can even feel a little vibration when you switch it.

If you’re used to making your iPhone silent by feeling for the switch in your pocket, you can still do that with the Pro because the button is in the same place. However, if you prefer the old switch, the regular iPhone 15 still has it.

The Action Button is one of the few noticeable changes on the outside of the iPhone in a long time.
