Apple will hold a press conference at 1 o'clock tomorrow morning (tonight), and the biggest protagonist this time is naturally the iPhone 15 series.This time there are still no big highlights in terms of appearance and configuration. They are basically routine upgrades, and there are no secrets. Of course, there are still some changes that will affect users' use. For example, the USB Type-C interface has been replaced in the entire series, making charging more convenient when going out.

Another point worth noting: the silent picks that have lasted for nearly 20 years will be canceled on the iPhone 15 Pro series this time.
The new phone will use an "Action button" as a replacement, which is actually a virtual key, similar to the Home button in the iPhone 7 era, using a TapticEngine linear motor to simulate key feedback.
It should be noted that in the past, silent buttons were very popular among users.Not only can it mute the sound quickly, the design of the pick also allows users to determine the status of the phone with a simple touch or glance, which is very convenient.
After changing to the Action button, such an operation will not be possible, and the phone needs to be lit to confirm.
Even in the past, many people would use picks to relieve stress when they were bored. It was called a magical tool for meetings, but these will become a thing of the past.
However, such changes will also have some benefits. It has been discovered in the iOS17 code that this button can not only achieve silent mode,You can also customize a variety of options, including launching the camera, flashlight, translation and other functions, which is obviously much richer and more practical for users who don’t frequently switch to silent mode.
Currently, this change is exclusive to the Pro version, and the standard version will not be released until the iPhone 16 series.
