The most useless button on the iPhone. Is it the same with you?

I recently made a “discovery” for myself. For the first time in six months, I was able to turn on silent mode on my iPhone. He began to click the lever with his gaze, a ten-year habit. But he’s not there.

Exactly, here knopro the same. I pressed it for a couple of seconds, turned off the mode and thought about it.

A year ago, we wrote reviews of the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, which featured a new action button (Action button). Then everyone talked a lot about it, often looked for interesting applications for it and generally paid attention to it.

With the release of the iPhone 16, this same button is now available on all current iPhone models; the lever is finally a thing of the past. But now it’s not about him.

I have question to owners of iPhone 15 Pro (Max) and new users of iPhone 16. You How use this button? Do you use it at all?

In my opinion, this thing turned out to be useless. In the same way, you use it several times a year to switch the silent mode. Everything else can be done in iOS 18 with screen locking, shortcuts and other equally convenient methods that do not require a whole button under such a function.

Definitely press the button on the insufficient number of letters written before and after the release of the first iPhone with such a keyboard. It is easy to draw parallels with Capture button in the iPhone 16. Also something that was not particularly asked for. And what anyone asked for (focus control) is still not available and will be “someday later”.

I repeat the question in conclusion:

I gave my answer, I’m interested in your opinion.
