Little by little, we are getting to know in depth everything new that will bring the next line of iPhone later this year. Previous rumors about the iPhone 15 Pro suggested that these would arrive with new “action” button. Now, we know exactly what it would do.

This “action” button would be part of the redesigned iPhone 15 Pro, which would also include a haptic keypad to replace the classic volume controls. A new rumor indicates that such a button would replace the small mute switch we have on current iPhones.

The inspiration for this button is found in the Apple Watch Ultra and it would also be fully customizable. In the case of the Ultra, its action button can be configured to start exercise routines, act as a shortcut to other apps, activate a timer, etc.

However, the usefulness of this button would be even greater than we thought. In addition to the above, it could also be used to turn on, turn off or force a reboot on the new iPhones.

Currently, to turn off your iPhone you must press the power button next to a volume button. According to user @analyst941, owners of the future iPhone 15 Pro will do the same action but pressing the new action button next to the new volume controls. The leaker has also “confirmed” that the button could activate the iPhone’s camera, an action now occupied by the volume control. Specifically, a light tap would be used to take a photo and a long one, to start recording video.

If everything continues as has been talked about for months, all these new buttons on the iPhone would be haptic and there would be no trace of the physical ones. Still, there are many users who also believe that the iPhone 15 Pro will not finally have a single button to control the volume. In any case, these changes would serve to distinguish the iPhone 15 Pro from the standard line, which will be almost a carbon copy of the current iPhone 14 Pro.
