Everything seems to indicate that the appearance of the iPhone 15 Pro It will be characterized by offering a more continuous design with respect to its predecessors than was initially expected. The few big changes that would come to this model consisted of the replacement of the side volume buttons with a panel with haptic feedback which would react to different pressure levels with small vibrations.
Unfortunately, much to our regret, we discovered last week that this novelty of the iPhone 15 Pro would have been canceled or postponed for future releases. However, and although many media insist on trusting this change, there has still been no talk about whether Apple will go ahead with it. the button that will replace the mute switch… until now.
Along with the rumors of new pressure-sensitive buttons to change the audio volume appearing on the scene on iPhone 15 Pro, there was also some very interesting news that suggested that the iPhone 15 Pro would have a multifunctional action button that would replace the iconic one. mute switch located on the side of the smartphone.
It was said that this button – in addition to activating and deactivating the silent mode – would offer the possibility of enable focus modes, take screenshots and even lock screen rotation. Now a rumor coming from Twitter indicates that the action button of the iPhone 15 Pro will also be able to control the camera.
Furthermore, within the camera app, the action button (formally; mute switch) will replace the volume up button for taking a photo.

Information from this Twitter user (a reputable source) highlights that the iPhone 15 Pro volume buttons will no longer be used to turn off or restart the device. This method will be replaced by another button combination in which the action button will be included or multifunctional button of the iPhone 15 Pro.
On the other hand, it has also added that the action button will have the ability to control various aspects of the camera of the iPhone 15 Pro such as the following functions:
- Gentle pressure: Camera autofocus.
- strong pressure: Photo capture.
- Hold down: Capture or record video.
In theory, the side volume control buttons would have sensors capable of detecting pressure levels, but the leak did not refer to the action button which will replace the mute switch. This new information must be taken with a certain degree of skepticism. What we do not have any doubt is that it would be a wonderful novelty.
