iPhone 15 Pro's Action button provides more options than the silent/ring switch but doesn’t offer the flexibility of using it for more than one action.

For instance, I have mapped it to Google Pay for quick UPI transactions, so I can scan a QR code as soon as I unlock it with Face ID. It works wonderfully, which makes it superior to the ring/silent switch. However, it misses the mark because there is no double press or triple press to trigger more actions.

The purpose of replacing a switch with a button is to provide more flexibility but the Action button only provides more options. It isn’t giving me more ways to interact with my iPhone 15 Pro by performing multiple actions with the same button. I only get press-and-hold to trigger an action. Every time I use the Action button, I feel limited because I can’t launch the camera or turn on the Silent mode if I have set it up to launch Google Pay. Ideally, Apple should’ve given us three ways to use the Action button with double press, triple press and press-and-hold.give you multiple ways to interact with the device, such as launching the camera with a double press and triggering Bixby with a press-and-hold.

Perhaps Apple could release a software update in the future to add multiple ways of interaction with the new button. For now, I like the Action button but I can’t help feel limited when I think about the many possibilities if there were more ways to trigger actions. It is definitely a welcome addition and better than the ring/silent switch but it hasn’t yet realized its full potential.
