I’m Stoked OnePlus Is Adopting This Controversial iPhone Feature
1 min read
Summary
OnePlus is to replace its Alert Slider with a customisable button on its forthcoming smartphones, in a move which has proved controversial among fans of the existing feature.
The new button will offer the same core functionality of switching between sound profiles, but will also be customisable to carry out other actions for those who want more from the feature.
The move is somewhat reminiscent of Apple’s addition of an Action Button to iPhones, which can be personalised with pre-set actions, or shortcuts, to apps and services.
The arrival of the customisable button is likely to be well-received by users who wanted more functionality from the Alert Slider, while retaining the option to use it for its original purpose.
