This in itself is a small revolution for the timeless Discretion button present since the very first smartphones, so much so that the new Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro is on the way to becoming a real selling point for this new device which does not did not cause a sensation when it was launched last September.
For example, Tesla owners use this button as a customizable key fob to activate a host of commands, such as unlocking the doors, opening the trunk or even starting the air conditioning or heating before departure.
Remember that Tesla cars are not equipped with a physical key fob and are generally controlled by the Tesla mobile application or unlocked using a magnetic card.
So instead of the ring/silent switch that’s been on every iPhone model since 2007, the new iPhone 15 Pro now has an Action button that can be programmed to perform a shortcut (function) of the user’s choosing .
While the button can be used to open the camera app, launch a voice memo, or turn your flashlight on or off, Tesla owners use it as a key fob—and do so without turning on their phone’s screen or even take it out of their pocket.
