CTOnews.com, Nov. 14 (Xinhua)-- Apple has retained the mute dipper in the hardware changes over the past 16 years since the launch of the original iPhone in 2007, while in the iPhone 15 Pro series released this year, the mute paddle withdrew from the stage and switched to an action button.

Apple officially describes this feature as follows:

On iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the action button replaces the ring / mute switch. You can select the function you want the action button to perform when it is pressed. Because this button is within reach, it can be useful for frequently performed operations. (the location of the action button is shown below. You can easily change the operation when you want to use it for other features.

CTOnews.com attaches the action button options that can be customized on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max:

Translation (introduced by iOS 17.2 Beta 1): after the user switches the operation button to the translation function, a translation window pops up to monitor the voice content, and the content can be translated into another language according to the user's preset options.

Mute mode: turns mute mode on or off.

Focus mode: turns a specific focus mode on or off.

Camera: turn on the "camera" App to quickly take photos, selfies, videos, portraits or portraits.

Flashlight: turn the flashlight on or off.

Voice memo: start or stop recording voice memo.

Amplifier: turn on the "amplifier" App.

Shortcut command: open App or run your favorite shortcut command.

Accessibility: quick access to favorite accessibility.

No action: no action is performed.

After more than a month of experience, Filipe Esp Esposito, editor of the foreign science and technology media 9to5Mac, said that switching from a mute pick to operating a button did not cost too much to learn, so it was relatively easy to use.

But he also admitted that in the daily use scene, because of inertia, the first time will not think of using the operation button. For example, if the action button is set to open the camera application, Esposito prefers to open it from the lock screen interface.

Esposito has also tried other shortcuts, such as shortcuts with Halide apps, but this interaction is often ignored in daily use.

Another problem is that it is difficult to press with one hand. Esposito says that because the buttons are too small, they often mistakenly touch the volume up button.

Esposito wants Apple to further expand the customization options for the action button and hopes to be able to trigger different actions by long pressing and double clicking.
