With SHR, the normal use for AUX is to lock/unlock the screen. This is useful when you can't suspend, but still want to put the phone in a pocket where accidental pressing may happen. For example, when the gps is in use when walking/bicycling/skiing. AUX protects against wrong keypresses that at worst could stop the gps logging. And AUX is also easy to press - even with gloves - in order to take a quick look at the map.
