It is increasingly clear that Apple wants to mark the differences between its products not only in its various ranges but within the models themselves under the sign Pro. This is the case with the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro, which, despite being a common device the novelties and the possibilities between one and the other are different in some aspects. We are approaching the month of September and with it also the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro

and the differential functions that one might find in the two models begin to appear. One of them is the possible removal of the mute switch to transform it into a multi-action button like you have the Apple Watch Ultra.

Will the iPhone 15 Pro have a multi-purpose button instead of the mute switch?

The bone iPhone 15 rumors continue to flood the network. On the table we have the removal of the Lightning connector and the integration of USB-C, a new proximity sensor on the dynamic island, a reduction in the bezels in the final design and the possible removal of the volume up buttons and physics stockings.

The latest information comes from the MacRumors forums and falls on the iPhone 15 Pro mute switch. This switch that we find on the left side of the iPhone that allows us to put our iPhone in silent mode. It seems, Apple might consider removing this physical switch to enter a new item. This element would be multifunction button which could be configured to perform a specific action.

This reminds us of the Action button on the Apple Watch Ultra which allows you to configure between different actions among which: open the Training application, cancel an action or go back, turn on the flashlight or execute a shortcut. He iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max’s new action button would allow the user to activate or perform certain actions such as activating silent mode, opening a specific application, activating a specific concentration mode, opening the device photo, screenshot, etc. Endless possibilities that would increase customization for the benefit of the user.

However, this action button It would only be available on the Pro models as are the haptic volume buttons. In the case of standard models, the physical mute switch and volume buttons would remain.
