    so like Samsung had the Bixby button for half a decade now? No, thanks.

    also, a mute button is pointless when we can just hold the volume down for a second.

      The mute toggle on iPhone doesn’t mute media if you play something with it enabled, and you can still increase/decrease the volume of that, you just don’t get any notification sounds. So bit different than just turning the volume down for the whole device.

      I keep mute enabled all the time because I get the notifications on my watch, and I forget it’s on because media still plays with sound. It’s actually really nice. One of the few things I actually like about iPhone.

        This volume button pair is actually configurable on my phone, that’s why I brought it up. I can choose whether the buttons affect notifications or media by default, and when media is playing it’ll always change the media volume.
