According to some reports, the Apple Action Button will launch with future iPhones Pro models. These reports claim that the iPhone 15 Pro series will replace the mute slider with a button. However, some experts and insiders say that Apple will not make this switch with the coming iPhone 15 Pro series.

While the brand may or may not be bringing this change to their coming smartphone, they are nurturing the plan. So on future iPhones, fans might get to see the exit of the mute slider, which will be a remarkable change. This slider will get replaced by what Apple calls an Action Button, which will be touch-sensitive and will be more functional than the mute slider.

Apple fans around the world should get themselves ready for this remarkable change. Reliable sources have found lines of code in the iOS 17 beta update that gives away the function of this mute slider replacement. The use of this coming button will certainly change the way iPhone fans interact with their device.

Possible uses of the Apple Action Button as shown off by the iOS 17 update

While iOS 17 is still in the beta testing phase, it is already showing some features that are yet to launch. Sources claim that the update has shown off the possible uses of the Apple Action Button, which isn’t yet a real thing. This update proves that Apple is preparing to launch a device that will help phase out the mute slider and usher in a new era.

From the update, experts were able to dig up some functions of this new button, and it promises to be very functional. A total of nine abilities have been linked to this button and, yes, it will still perform the function of the mute slider. Aside from muting the device, this Action Button will perform eight other impressive actions.

These include accessibility, shortcuts, camera, flashlight, focus, magnifier, translation, and voice memo. All of these are impressive quick-access features that Apple will be giving users at the press of a button. Of course, users will also get to pick which control they want the Action Button to activate, depending on their needs and preferences.

While some sources claim that the Action Button will not launch with the iPhone 15 Pro series, it’s pretty confusing why its controls are available on the iOS 17 beta upgrade. In the recent Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman also makes mention of the possible presence of the Action Button. At this point, fans and netizens around the world can keep their fingers crossed while in expectation of the launch of this feature.
