Re: iphone 17e

[Gerardo Corripio]

Even if you've not got Siri active for dictation, you could always perform the "Magic Tap" (2 fingers twice onscreen), to start and stop dictation, without the need to look for the actual dictation button. Good luck!

The Action button is above the volume controls on the left side of the iPhone where the mute switch is on older phones. The right side has the "Side" or power button where the power/Side button has always been, which is the one to hold for Siri, or triple click for VoiceOver, etc. The Camera button is almost flush with the right side, lower down and if you buy a case for your 17E, there will be a slot in the case so you can depress the camera button with a finger tip. The camera button also  has a touch sensitive surface that is supposed to let you slide your finger up or down to adjust some camera settings, but I've never seen it work with VoiceOver.

I mean, you say the side button but on the 17 (the 17E wasn’t in stores yet when I checked) there were two buttons on the right side of the phone, so I’m assuming one is the side button and the other is the action button.

The gestures are the same as all other phones, but unlocking, and some other things are slightly different. I hope the below helps. For devices without a home button: Side button replacing Home button commands •    Unlock Phone: Facial Recognition, or tap the  Side button and enter your passcode •    Accessibility Shortcut: Triple click of the Side button •    Screenshot: Simultaneously press and quickly release the Side button and Volume Up button •    Activate Siri: Press and hold the Side button •    Turn off the iPhone: Click and hold the Side button and Volume up or down button.  The Slide to Power Off screen will appear. Release the buttons! (It’s crucial to release the buttons because Emergency SOS will automatically activate if you continue to hold them down.  Then double tap the power off button on the screen •    Activate Apple Pay: Double click the Side button New Gestures replacing function of the Home button Starting at the bottom of the screen and slide one finger up. You will feel three haptic vibrations referred to as "clicks" (similar to the old "click" when pressing the Home button). Each of these three clicks will activate a function. Note: The first click alerts you that you are in the feature. •    Return to the Home screen: From the bottom of the screen slide one finger up until the second click. Lift your finger from the screen. •    Activate the App Switcher: From the bottom of the screen, slide one finger up until you feel the third click. Lift your finger from the screen. •    Activate Teachability mode (if enabled in Settings): From the bottom of the screen, slide one finger up until you feel the first click. Quickly flick down. Starting at the top of the screen, slide one finger down to feel the clicks. •    Access the Control Center: From the top of the screen, slide one finger down until you feel the second click. Lift your finger from the screen. •    Access the Notification Center: From the top of the screen, slide one finger down until you feel the second click. Lift your finger from the screen.
