The iPhone 15 Pro will feature an Action Button, that much has just been confirmed. We’ve heard a ton of rumors suggesting this will happen, and now a confirmation came from Spigen, of all companies.
The iPhone 15 Pro’s Action Button gets confirmed by Spigen
The accessory maker shared an image via X, showing us what seems to be a new case, with a focus on the volume rocker and an action button. If you check out the image below, you’ll know what we’re talking about.
You can clearly see that the Action Button sits above the volume rocker. Spigen used the “something’s different” caption, and also the ‘AppleEvent’ hashtag. It’s quite obvious what they’re showing here, though.
The ‘Action Button’ will replace the mute switch on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The regular iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models will retain the mute switch, based on rumors.
The ‘Pro’ models were also supposed to get solid-state buttons in general, but that seemingly won’t happen. Apple ran into some issues at one point, and decided to stick to regular buttons for one more cycle.
That Action Button will be customizable
This Action Button will be customizable. You’ll be able to choose what to use it for, and it will likely have more than one triggerable action. Chances are it’ll react to a single press, long press, and maybe double tap, etc. We’ll have to wait and see.
As many of you know at this point, the entire iPhone 15 series will launch later today. The press event is starting at 10 AM PST / 1 PM EST / 7 PM CET / 6 PM BST.
All iPhone 15 models will include a Dynamic Island this time around, and a Type-C USB port too. These will actually be the first iPhones ever to offer a Type-C USB port.
The ‘Pro’ models will also come with a titanium frame, and thinner bezels than last year’s models. The ‘Pro Max’ variant will include a periscope camera, and be the only model that will see a price hike, based on reports.
