Sure, the iPhone 15 Pro's action button is cool, but Apple should adopt this retro Google Pixel feature


When Apple announced the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max last year, I was surprised by the so-called action button. While I like that the smart folks at Cupertino have incorporated more… ahem, action into a somewhat redundant mute slider, I wasn't as sold on the button's limitations; After all, you could already use the volume buttons on previous iPhones to trigger the camera app's shutter.

But as I used the iPhone 15 Pro Max more, praising the virtues of titanium and the iPhone's near-perfect overall experience, I started to really love the action button.
