I never really cared much for push-to-talk calling — at least until I discovered the Apple Watch’s best hidden feature, its walkie-talkie app, which I accidentally uncovered while scrolling through the smartwatch's many watch faces. With rumors about the iPhone 15 Pro gaining an Action button becoming more real, we could see the upcoming phone steal a feature that I’ve come to rely on more often than not. And I couldn’t be anymore excited for this possibility.
While this major iPhone 15 Pro design change may be controversial given how users have become accustomed to the physical mute switch on current models, a rumored action button opens up a flood gate of potentially new iPhone functions. Most people are probably excited for other changes to expect, like a new periscope camera and a more durable titanium frame with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, but it would really be cool to effectively get a walkie-talkie iPhone.
