iPhone 15 Pro could be priced higher but come with a new actionable button

The latest iOS 17 beta update hints at the features of a new button on the iPhone 15 Pro, supposedly called the Action Button. This button has been part of leaked renders of this device. It is expected to replace the signature Ring/Silent switch. So, it comes at a price.

Speaking of price, a recent report by MacRumours also gives us an idea of how much the new iPhones cost around:

Apple iPhone 15 series price expectations

Tim Long, an analyst at Barclays expects Apple to price the base models of the iPhone 15 series as follows:

iPhone 15: $799 (the same as iPhone 14’s starting price) iPhone 15 Plus: $899 (the same as iPhone 14 Plus’s starting price) iPhone 15 Pro: Up to $1,099 (vs iPhone 14 Pro’s $999 starting price tag) iPhone 15 Pro Max: Up to $1,299 (vs iPhone 14 Pro Max’s $1,099 starting price tag)

iPhone 15 Pro Max is pricier because of a periscope telephoto sensor, which the Pro model lacks.

Speaking of things it lacks, the iPhone 15 Pro (and probably other iPhone 15s) could drop the Ring/Silent switch and get an Action Button instead.

Although the so-called Action Button should give you a hint of what it could function like, we have more clues about its features, thanks to the latest iOS 17 Beta 4 update.

Here’s what we know:

iPhone 15 Action Button features (Expected)

iPhone 15 Pro

Silent Mode: First and foremost, it will carry on the ring/silent toggle for calls and alerts. Accessibility: You could perhaps use the Action Button to quickly access features like VoiceOver, Zoom, AssistiveTouch, etc. Shortcuts: The action Button could let you trigger Apple Shortcuts you have on your device. Utilities: How cool would it be to open the camera app/flashlight/ translate app/voice memo app/ magnifier app, etc just by the tap of the Action button without even turning on the lockscreen? Focus: It would be interesting to see Apple letting you activate/disable various focus modes just with this Action Button.

Well, one button that can be mapped to use any of these features is interesting nonetheless. Let’s see how it pans out. The iPhone 15 series is not far from us.

PS5 unboxing videos show how huge the console is

To say that Sony has been a bit coy when it comes to the PlayStation 5 would be a bit of an understatement. The company only recently announced the India pricing of the console and now finally we have unboxings of the console going live and one thing is pretty clear - The console is HUGE!  So what do you get in the box? Well… besides the console itself (and the manuals), you get: DualSense controller USB Type-C charging cable for the controller HDMI 2.1 cable Power cable for the console (no bulky adapter/box) Plastic stand Now the plastic stand is used if you place the console on its side. As there is no flat surface on either side of the console, the stand will ensure that it remains still. But you can also place it when propping up the console vertically. However, it does seem like the PS5 can stand on its own vertically if need be. IGN’s unboxing video gives you a good idea of how to place the stand. All of the unboxing videos mention the size of the console because it is pr...
