A revolutionary change

As expected, the Action button replaces the mute button on the Pro and Pro Max ranges of the Apple firm's new smartphone. You should know that, since the first generation, iPhones have had the same trigger button, and the latter did not offer many possibilities. Sure, it was simple and useful, but an update can't hurt it.

Unfortunately this new button is not available on the basic version as well as on the Plus version of the new iPhone.

It makes life easier

With this new feature, Apple intends to completely change the user experience for owners of the Pro range of the iPhone 15. In its basic function, it will allow, like its predecessor, to mute the phone. But not only that! You will be able toconfigure as you wishfor example to start un audio recording, turn on the phone's flashlight, or even launch the camera.Ideal for situations where you need to be responsive and capture a moment quickly. Here is an overview of the available options:

Compatible with Shortcuts

The features mentioned above only concern the native parameters of the button, and the possibilities are already great! But to top it off, the latter will be configurable via the Shortcuts application. Thanks to the latter, it will be possible to assign a desired action to the button. This means that you can do absolutely what you want with it! For example, you can use it tolaunch your favorite application, or even call your wife.

So, can this new Action button push you to take the step towards the Pro versions?
