iPhone 15 Pro's New Action Button Offers Convenience But Users Struggle to Remember and Customize It

iPhone 15 Pro's new Action button offers quick access to camera, flashlight, and custom shortcuts, but over half of users polled say they often forget it's there.

Most popular Action button uses are camera, flashlight, mute, and shortcuts for skipping podcasts, adding to-dos, etc.

Some users are frustrated by inability to customize button for short presses, double presses, etc. to access more functions.

Rumored upcoming "Capture button" for video recording may reduce usefulness of Action button set to open camera app.

With Action button expanding to more iPhone models, usefulness and ideal use cases remain debated.
