What is the action button on the iPhone 16?

Question

I heard the new iPhone 16 comes with a new action button. What is the use of it?

Answer 1

iPhone 16 has an action button which makes it easier to use functions such as the flashlight, do not disturb, or make a recording. It brings a level of personalization to the iPhone which wasn't available before, allowing, in particular, to program quick commands such as ordering coffee in the morning from a favorite cafe.

this year's iPhone is good, way better than iPhone 15 14 series, but only one con for me is that action button replaced clicky silent mode switch,i like the retro feel of old switch ,seems like some old reica camera like Steve Jobs said

This review feels like they are trying thier very best to justify the existence of the phone.
The button is a gimmik since most of the actions are applicable when using the camera app with your fingers
