iPhone 15 Pro’s Action Button to Get More New Functions With iOS 18
At the recent WWDC 2024 event, Apple unveiled its latest software upgrade, iOS 18. This update brings a host of new features, with significant improvements to the Action button found on flagship models such as the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Let's dive into the details.
New Features Coming to Action Button
According to the 9to5Mac reports, Apple has introduced 14 new customisable actions so that you can tailor your smartphone to your unique needs. The brand is rumored to unlock possibilities with the Action Button, providing quick access to additional customisable actions like Calculator, Stopwatch, Home, Remote, and more. Currently, users can assign 9 preset options to the button. However, it's speculated that it could soon offer more functionalities, such as toggling dark mode, controlling devices via the home application, or even raising Tap to Cash. The potential is exciting, to say the least.
Although some features, such as Low Power Mode and Orientation Lock, are not directly assigned in the first beta of iOS 18, users can still use the Shortcut action to incorporate these controls if necessary. The integration with Control Center options simplifies access to frequently used settings, enabling the iPhone to experience more intuitive and personalised features.
Currently, iOS 18 is available in beta form, with the final release expected in September. As always, early adopters can demonstrate the new features in beta. The iPhone 16 series, likely to launch in 3 months, is also expected to come with iOS 18 out of the box. If this rumour is true, it would be a significant update for iPhone users, bringing the enhanced functionality to a wider audience.
