    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.

        You could always just download an app to remap it with far more functionality. Used to love that feature.

              I’m still using that on my s10+. Having the flashlight mapped and Bixby completely disabled is all I care about, and it works perfect. And I’m pretty sure you get full remap control if you spend the few bucks for it, but I haven’t needed to.

          Yes, but you had to set up Bixby first which I refused to do, so just cut off the part of my phone case that pushed the button so I’d stop accidentally pressing it.

        I have a Note 8, they’ve now had it for a while where you can single tap to open an app or run a command. But if you choose to do that, double press opens Bixby. So sadly you get Bixby no matter what.

      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.
