    I know on paper the 15 pro is such a slight bump from the 14 pro, but I am enamored with it for my use-case: taking pictures with gloves on!!!

    It’s so hard to get Siri or the touchscreen to work in brutal winter conditions, and the button is such a huge win for me.

    Kudos to everyone hacking on it with shortcuts!

    I greatly hope Apple allows us to set the Action Button for: Single tap Double tap Triple tap Long press

    And perhaps even custom combinations of taps/presses to allow for greater use.

    Limiting us to ONE use from a long press is confusing to me.

    It’s cool that people have created shortcuts that can imitate this, but it’s one of those “should be standard” things.

    It might not be very complex but I set mine up as a toggle for the Always on Display on my phone and watch. If I’m watching a movie or whatnot (even at home) I’ll often toggle them off so that they’re not in my line of sight.

    It’s also encouraged me set some similar rules for when certain focuses are enabled. For example; Now when I connect my phone to CarPlay the AoD will automatically switch off.
