I really hope they expand this button in software later. Long press as the only activator is absurd. How about single? Double? Triple? Short-long?
I hate that the only option is long. Also I wish I could change the behavior based on context (is the phone locked, what app is active, etc). I don’t need camera or flashlight if the phone is locked, they are right there but elsewhere that might be nice.
I’m leaning towards camera in video mode as what I set it to, since getting to video mode takes longer than I’d like in most cases, even from the Lock Screen.
If only Apple could develop the technology to distinguish between a light press and a forceful touch.
Contextual behavior can be done through the shortcuts app I think.
