Apple Watch hacks: How to customise Action Button on Apple Watch Ultra
Apple is said to have ditched solid-state buttons in its upcoming iPhone 15 Pro series models in favour of using the regular physical buttons. Despite the change, of lack thereof, the iPhone 15 Pro models are likely to come with something called an Action Button. As per reports, the company is likely to replace the Silen/Ring button with the Action Button.
For the unversed, an Action Button is a programmable physical button that can be programmed as per an individual users’ needs. Action Button, unlike the digital crown or side button, is not hard-coded to a particular function and so it can be programmed to do anything. Well, sort of. The concept is almost similar to how the triple pinch command can be customised in the Nothing Ear 2.
Interestingly enough, while the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models will be first of the company’s iPhones to sport a unique Action Button, it’s not the first in the company’s portfolio of devices. Meaning, the company already ships an Action Button in its Apple Watch. However, this feature is restricted to the Apple Watch Ultra. The Apple Watch Series 8 does come with an Action Button. This means that the people who want to get the experience of using an Action Button will have to shell out a minimum of Rs 89,900 to buy the Apple Watch Ultra.
