The iPhone 15 Pro may have new button combinations for power off and force restart.

Rumor has it that the Action button may have prompted Apple to create new button press combinations to force restart or reset the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max.

• iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to replace the Mute switch with a multi-purpose action button like on the Apple Watch Ultra.
• As a result, Apple has created new button press combinations to shut down and force restart a device.

How to force restart iPhone 15 Pro?

According to Twitter account advisor @analyst941, the existing Volume + Side Button combinations do not turn off or force restart your iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max. “The sequence remains, but the combination will be changed to an action and a power button,” a tipster explained on Twitter.

Action button:

I have some (small) information about the action button on the iPhone 15 Pro.

First, the volume up + power button will no longer be used to turn off the device or “force restart”.

The sequence will remain, but the combination will change to action + power button.

To refresh your memory, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are rumored to be replacing the current silent switch with a pushable Action button.

The Action button may be capacitive and is believed to use force sensors to determine the amount of pressure applied. The pressure sensor is said to allow the user to invoke various functions of the stock Camera app on the iPhone 15 Pro, such as taking photos, recording videos, and focusing the camera.

The same tipster recently revealed the details and tidbits of iOS 17, including features like active iPhone widgets with buttons, slides and other interactive elements.

They also correctly predicted the Dynamic Island feature even before the iPhone 14 was unveiled. On the other hand, @analyst941 doesn’t have an established track record, so the information he claims about the Action button shouldn’t be taken for granted.

How to force restart current iPhones?

Performing a normal reboot on any modern iPhone with Face ID requires you to simultaneously press and hold the volume up or down button and the side button, which displays the shutdown screen.

Similarly, to force restart an iPhone (also known as a hard reset), you must quickly press and release the Volume Up button, then quickly press and release the Volume Down button, and finally press and hold the Side button until the device reboots.
