  1. Action button is one to much, why not combine that with another, not really usefull. It’s one big matrix phone, its all the same.. The only thing which I bought it because the usb c port, had an older 12pro with old lightning cable

  2. Very helpful and clear! At 76 yoa, I will use this to tailor my 17 Pro Max when it arrives in few days. THANKS AGAIN.

  3. My thumbs up to your speech , as a public speech and commercial voice over artist myself. So many videos i run across with people using their voice to put such a fast sales pitch on video with speed and delivery too hard to understand and clear with details. You did help make it clear as to what buttons were for and not replaying video dozen times to understand.

  4. I found this video by searching Google for IPhone 17 Pro buttons. This video was helpful and easy to understand. Thank you!

  5. 1. My 17's phone button doesn't do anything except open the phone and take a picture. Sliding my finger on the button does nothing. Why not? Why is yours different?
    2. The center back button double-tap does not work on my phone when it is in it's case.
    3. I'm constantly taking screenshots I don't want or need due to the placement of the buttons. Can the Screenshot Trigger Action (Click lock and up volume simultaneously) be reprogrammed?
    Thanks!

  6. new 17 on the way, this is VERY helpful as I'm upgrading from 9 yr old iphone 8 whose battery basically died few days ago, thank you!

  7. I was not able to get anything to happen when I slid my finger across the camera button or by double tapping it. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Pressing it does take pictures though. I was only able to get the button to do anything if I pressed it firmly.

  8. Yeah, this was really great. I had no idea there were secret buttons and multifunction buttons🎉
