It looks like the many rumours are true, theiPhone 15 Proand 15 Pro Max will finally swap the mute switch for a programmable action button.
The phones, which will launch today duringApple’s “Wonderlust” event, have long been said to be adopting a similar assignable button to theApple Watch Ultra. And now a renowned case manufacturer has confirmed it.

There’s little else to go on, but we’ll undoubtedly find out more during the livestream.T3 is also running a liveblog with all the latest detailsup to and through the show itself, if you want to find out much more.
As for the action button itself, details found inside a beta ofiOS17 showed that users will be able to assign multiple functions to it. You could leave it as a mute button, of course, but it could also be set to operate the camera, say, to take a picture.
Alternatively, you could set it to enable a shortcut through a new shortcuts app. This could be to send a set message to someone, or control a smart home device, say.
There are plenty of other options, too, which are each designed to make life a little more simple. The best news really is that the choice will be up to you.

We just hope it’ll be a little more robust than the current switch – we’re always accidentally knocking it and switching our phones to silent when placing the phone in a pocket. We’ve missed countless important calls and notifications that way.
We also wonder what Apple makes of Spigen going a little early on its revelation. Admittedly, it’s not the biggest “leak” out there and the tease will only raise excitement levels further, but Apple doesn’t tend to smile upon partners being so forthcoming.
Nevertheless, it’s good to get one new feature signed off. Now we just have to wait for the several others.
