Whilst not defending Apple - who the hell uses a phone like that anyway?

Do any modern phones not have camera bumps? It's been an unfortunate reality for about a decade.

The lack of a camera silent switch does take away some utility, but the button being mappable to pretty much anything isn't a terrible 2nd place.

Asian iPhone I guess? My iPhones camera is silent.

I mapped the flashlight to the action button. Best use case I’ve found after nearly one month with the 15pro.

Coming from the XS Max, I loathe the prolonged battery life. And the higher speeds. Didn’t need the camera button, so I went for the cheaper last years model. Seems to pay out.

Sorry, phone keyboard let me down there. I meant something like "physical silent switch", because being able to change the phone's loudness setting without opening it up is very useful.

But I do feel for the Asians that can't have silent cameras.
