Expected replacement of Mute Switch in iPhone 15

The physical mute switch has been one of the most iconic iPhone features since the original model debuted in 2007 — and it has n’t changed much at all since then. But the iPhone 15 Pro could shake effects up.

It’s anticipated that the mute switch is being replaced with a “ pressing type button. ” rather of fluttering a physical switch to control your notification volume, the new button may be a solid– state one that you press. This new mute button would only apply to the iPhone 15 Pro models. However, then those should still have the mute switch toggle rather, as well as two separate volume buttons rather of a single elongated button, If you plan to get the regular iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus.

It’s anticipated that the new iPhone 15 Pro mute button, which would be replacing the mute switch, may be a multiuse Action Button instead — similar to what we’ve on the Apple Watch Ultra. Though the default action could be set to toggle the mute setting, the button may be customized by the user for other purposes. Some other actions could be launching the camera app, turning the flashlight on, toggling lightdark mode, activating Low Power Mode, taking a screenshot or screen recording, Shortcuts, and more.

This would open up a world of possibilities for the user in terms of customization, though a drawback would be making the iPhone 15 Pro less accessible for some since it would no longer be possible to tell from physical touch if the phone is silent or not.

And if Apple is replacing the mute switch with an Action Buttonreports suggest that it’ll replace the volume down button that you previously required to press with the side button to power down your phone.
