‘Action’ button on iPhone 15 Pro models
The latest iPhone models, including the iPhone 14, can be turned off by pressing the side button and volume down button at the same time. To perform a forced reset, users need to use a different combination of the same buttons. The upcoming iPhone 15 Pro model may no longer have a mute switch, as it is rumored to be replaced by a customizable “action” button. In this case, the new button will act as a volume rocker when powering off or resetting the device.
