Earlier, we reported that the iPhone 15 series will feature a programmable Action Button, replacing the mute/silent switch.

The Apple Watch Ultra also has a programmable Action Button.
According to the code snippets in the update, these are the nine actions users can choose from to use with the Action Button:
- Flashlight toggle.

- Focus mode toggle.
- Camera: This will allow users to open the camera app or take a photo or video.
- Translate: This will allow users to open the Translate app.
- Voice memos: Users can launch the Voice Memos app to start or stop recording a memo.
- Magnifier: This will allow users to launch the Magnifier app to zoom into an object or text.
- Shortcuts: This will allow users to run a shortcut created using the Shortcuts app, just like on the Apple Watch Ultra.
- Accessibility: Users will be able to access various Accessibility features like Zoom, Assistive Touch, and more.
iPhone 15 Series Expected Features: Apart from the Action Button, the iPhone 15 series is expected to feature essential upgrades like a new Titanium body, a USB Type-C port, stacked battery technology, a periscope camera on the Pro models, and Dynamic Island on all the four models.
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone Pro Max are rumored to see a $100 price hike, though, which would be a first since Apple launched the ‘Pro Max’ iPhone in 2018.
