Apple continues to make waves in the smartphone market with the iPhone 14 series. This year, the company has particularly drawn attention with the Dynamic Island feature in the Pro models, likely experiencing one of the brightest periods in its history. However, when it comes to technology, being at the top is not enough.

You must always look ahead and work on exciting models that will thrill users. Moving in this direction, the US tech giant has been working on the iPhone 15 series for some time now. Naturally, some information leaks out during this process, and we can get an idea about the new iPhones before they are even introduced. According to latest reports, the iPhone 15 Pro is still expected to feature an ‘Action’ button instead of a mute switch. Here are the details…

iPhone 15 Pro Still Expected to Feature ‘Action’ Button Instead of Mute Switch

When it comes to design, smartphones have not been showing much difference from each other for a while now. Although general designs and rear camera placements vary, the front side is almost entirely made up of the screen. This situation leads to each new model feeling the same as the previous one. Manufacturers, not wanting to lose the sense of innovation, frequently try different designs.

For example, it had been said for some time that Apple would get rid of mechanical buttons and use solid-state buttons with vibration feedback. However, it was learned that the company is not too keen on this change and postponed it to the iPhone 16 series to be released in 2024. Nevertheless, this does not mean that there will not be a significant change. Apparently, Apple is preparing to sacrifice a feature that users love in order to make the necessary innovation.

The upcoming iPhone 15 Pro will come with a previously leaked customizable “Action” button. The new devices will feature two mechanical volume buttons and an additional mechanical button that replaces the Ring/Silent switch. This feature will be similar to the “Action” button already used on the Apple Watch Ultra, and users will be able to assign any desired function to this button.

With this development, it is now confirmed that the difference between the iPhone 15 Pro and standard models will increase even more. For many years, Apple did not make any distinction between the two models, apart from the camera and battery, and launched almost similar models. However, with the iPhone 14, we saw processor and design differences exclusive to the Pro models. It seems that this change will become even more significant in the future.
